>Polis being dragged by her hair.
Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, a transgender woman, is the victim of a hate crime that occurred at a local McDonald's in Baltimore. The attack was videotaped by a McDonald's employee, and has been all over the internet since, with thousands of views. The video shows Polis brutally beaten by two females - a 14-year- old and an 18-year-old. Polis was dragged by her hair, punched, and kicked in the head. The McDonald's employee who is responsible for this video has been fired. I don't understand why people didn't help this woman! The employees shown in the video were males and instead of attempting to break up the fight, stand by doing nothing.
Based on the Baltimore Sun, the females were arrested; the 14-year-old on a juvenile assault charge and for the 18-year-old female, charges have not yet been filed. The Baltimore County prosecutors will decide by this week whether they will charge the females as a hate crime or an assault charge. I support the females being charged as a hate crime, because this incident is really sad. No one should be discriminated against based on sexual orientation, that should be their personal choice.
