You’re kidding, right? That’s why the turnout is so great. The white gays can make this a racial thing, and that’s how they will get media attention. Despite white gays and their claims, I wonder how many WHITE PEOPLE lost interest in this story once they learned that the victim was not an innocent white girl but a man. For all the talk about blacks hating gays, the real issue is that the majority of whites don’t approve. The truth hurts, but it remains the truth!!!

Some facts here: The one McDonald’s employee who filmed this and then posted derogatory comments about Chrissy has been fired and others may be. Too often those of us in the TG are judged too quickly and too harshly. In part, that’s exactly what went wrong here. Facts are still coming in and a rush to judgment is not what we want regarding other employees.

Why I chose the McDonald’s site for the vigil was because we wanted to help to help shocked and appalled neighbors heal, a way to educate the restaurant owner and the employees, as a way to message to the police, prosecutors, and the county officials that the communities they represent were as outraged as those of us in the TG community, to send a message to our elected state officials who have been thwarting efforts for anti-discrimination laws for our community, and to let people know we simply are great people, too. I arranged with Mc Donald’s restaurant management teams here to use their space and they even closed the restaurant early (4 pm) so we could pull this event off.

And I am glad that the reporter caught the spirit of the vigil. We all stood that way and we came from the straight community, gay, transgender, elected officials, clergy, and from all different races. All of us were shaken by the video and all of us were doing all we could to help create the larger community will to keep this kind of thing from ever happening again.

Why the Hell are they protesting at McDonald’s? McDonald’s didn’t attack her, crazy bitches did. The employees who stood back and allegedly cheered have already been fired. This is just some horror event being paraded out.

I wonder how many people would be up in arms if it was just a normal white male who had been assaulted.

The individual who shot this video did not do so as a witness, and to assume or insinuate that is naive, if not ignorant. He did so for entertainment purposes, which is clear from the laughter in the video, and the fact that it was posted on YouTube prior to law enforcement viewing it.
Let’s not make excuses for cowards and proponents of hate crime here. There is a responsibility in our society to step up, or step in when something like this happens. It is INEXCUSABLE to stand by and watch this type of atrocity happen.

Dont worry – the white hate groups are already twisting this to demonize Obama, call the victim a pervert, etc etc. Its absolutley insane what those anything but Christians do.

And re the black community , its the white hate community that has focused on turning the demonized to the demonizer

Much of christianity is the filthy of western society. Including the godfather of pedohphilia, RATZInger, probably wondering how he can profit from this brutal beating.

I was so busy watching the ugly people hitting and and helping out and the poor child in the middle of it all that I didn’t notice the color of their skin! I did hear the voice of the manage or who ever that was and he sounded like he could have put a stop to it fast. If he had wanted to. Might be that color is of no interest to me. My family is made up (if we are going to color code ourselves) black, white, yellow, brown and every other color people might come in this great planet of ours. It’s not about color it’s about (THOSE PEOPLE) the ones in that place at that time.
