Transgender woman of 22 was brutally attacked in her local McDonalds by two girls as she was leaving the ladies restrooms. One of the girls accused her for looking at her man and started the fight. The really bad part was that no one at the scene came to her help when she was being attacked so brutally to the point of having a seizure. McDonald staff just stood by, watched it happen and even laughed about it. One of the McDonald employees filmed everything and put it on the internet. The victim hinted the attack might be racially motivated, because both of her attackers were black.
Comment:
I think it is awful that the staff did not help the girl. They did not even take the time to call the police at the moment it was happening. After all it will damage the image of McDonalds, because it has a family restaurant image. I think it is pretty sick of those people to just stand by and even have the nerves to film it and put it on the internet as entertainment. Even if it is a racially motivated act, the employees should have done something because they represent McDonalds and the attack was happening at their restaurant.

I agree with Amina. What happened at McDonalds is a disgrace. Those girls should feel ashamed of themselves, and especially the staff. I understand that it is scary to stand up against those girls, howver they could have asked for support. And instead of placing the video on the internet, they could have given it to the police.
