Instead cell phone cameras were turned on to video the whole attack. My heart goes out to this woman and I sincerely hope that she makes a full recovery. She may require financial help with her medical bills. If so, I intend to donate and I will post a link here of where others may donate.

This is the link to the vicious beating:

There is also a follow up story that reports two suspects have been arrested. This is the link to that news story:

I've just been finding out about this It's sickening.

On youtube, I found a video where a guy is congratulating the people who stood and watched
Anyway in this video he uses the term "trap"

"So, the lady who was beat up at Mcdonalds is a Trap"

I'm assuming this is a derogatory term? I've never heard it before.

See this post of mine for a definition of "trap."

Speedy recovery for the beaten lady.

It is sad, but cruelty is not reserved only for males. Females could be also evil.

Pretty sketchy with details, but at least the story got as far as MSNBC

Teen Gets 5 Years in McDonald's Transgender Beating

Tuesday, Sep 13, 2011 | Updated 5:36 PM EDT

A 19-year-old woman was sentenced to five years in prison for her role in the beating of a transgender woman inside a McDonald's restaurant in Maryland.

Teonna Brown pleaded guilty last month to first-degree assault and a hate crime and was sentenced in Baltimore County Circuit Court Tuesday.

The beating at the McDonald's in Rosedale in April attracted national attention after a video of it was posted online. A girl who was 14 at the time of the attack acknowledged her role in juvenile court and was committed to a detention facility.

State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger said the beating was one of the worst he has seen, especially because surveillance video revealed that over 15 minutes, the attackers left and came back to beat the woman again.

Thanks for sharing this, smc. This is good news. I also want to recognize Vicky Thoms, the 55 year old woman who stood up for Chrissy?indeed she was the only person to come to her aid.

Oh my GOD! The videos of this beating are terrible! The two attackers were clearly just cruel and sadistic, kicking and stomping on the victim while she was down on the floor. If either one of those attacking girls were my daughters, I would be very very ashamed!

I am bothered though, what in the world caused this eruption of hatred? What could the victim have done (or been accused of doing) that was so so so horrible to have caused this? Did these two sick sadistic attackers just out of the blue decided to do this? Did one of them think the victim was "trying to steal her boyfriend" or something? Was it just the fact that the victim was a TS girl? Good GOD what could have possibly possesed the two attackers?
