If this doesn't enrage you, nothing will.

This is absolutely disgusting. After an unidentified transwoman tried to use the bathroom at a Baltimore McDonald's, two patrons started attacking her in full view of other customers and employees. What did the employees do? They filmed it on their phones.

While you can see the manager yelling stop at the two women attacking the customer, none of the other employees even try to intervene or keep the women from dragging the victim across the restaurant floor. Instead, it's the elderly female customer that seems to do the most to help. The manager and employees simply watch as the victim starts to have a seizure and offer no help whatsoever.

Try this one too!

This post was from the Billy Ricco project

"Texas A&M Student Senate Backs Homophobic Measure
Filed by: Intern Jake
April 21, 2011 6:00 PM

"A bill of support passed through the Texas A&M Student Senate last night for a Texas Legislature bill (SB-63-106) that would require Texas colleges and universities with GLBT resource centers to provide equal funding for "Traditional and Family Values" Centers promoting heterosexuality.

"
Jesus Reyes, who graduated from Texas A&M in 2010, admits to The American Independent that campus climate necessitates the center:

"There is, I wouldn't necessarily say homophobia, but a certain apprehension about gays at A&M... Honestly, I think there are many students there who have never met a gay person. They snicker at you if you walk into GLBT Resource meetings. Even in sociology class, they make bigoted, ignorant comments." (my note, that is homophobia folks." cln)

"Equality" rhetoric can backfire."

Especially when the majority, read as the people of privilege, so far outnumber the minority, and the majority fear the minority. The recent paper on estimates of the GLB&T suggested there are about 8 million adult GLB&T in the United States, and about 679,529 of them are Tg (ncluding TS, CD, GQ)? WE are such a damned threat to the Millions of so-called normal people, are we not.

But hold on, about 19 million of US citizens are estimated to have TRIED same sex behavior, and 11% of the US population admit to same sex attraction, that' about 25.6 million folks. Hummm, that's more than the population of the state of Texas. Maybe it is less fear than that they "do'th protest too much, methinks".

Look out Oklahoma, as Texas goes, so goes Oklahoma. Oklahoma politicians don't have an original bone in their entire being, and we have a very vocal conservative bunch among our representatives, and I use the term "representative" advisedly.

Sickening.

I saw this reply to that story...I lol'd.

How dare they pollute the minds of the innocent young with this! Throughout your lives, all you see is heterosexuals flaunting this lifestyle right and left. On billboards. In movies. In music. Through the Midwest. Even on television shows watched by kids!

Sure, I have no problem with heterosexuals. I happen to be one myself. But that doesn’t mean I want my children to be exposed to this before the ninth grade. Don’t they have enough to do, like learning to read and write and identify countries on maps? Why push a social agenda?

Heterosexuals are everywhere once you grow up. You eat lunch with them. You take them to prom. Sometimes you have to share a cubicle with one and talk about his or her hobbies. Many kids even have one in their home or family. Aren’t kids exposed to enough heterosexuality in the media and in their homes without being forced to hear about it at school, too? They don’t need this explained to them! They should be memorizing state capitals and increasingly their utility!

People would not choose to be attracted to members of the opposite sex if someone had not read them a book in their childhood about a male and female duck forming a family. Curse whoever read that book! Such attractions are powerfully distracting! They ended Edward VII’s promising career!

Why brainwash our kids?

If you can’t share it with the whole class, don’t bring it up at all! Some people say they have favorite sexual positions. My favorite position is the one where you don’t talk about it, ever, and occasionally you eat a sandwich and feel kind of lonesome.

So don’t get me started on this ‘sex’ phenomenon. I don’t know whose idea it was, but it can’t be natural. If God intended us to frolic about in the buff with members of the opposite sex, he would have created Adam and Eve, rather than allowing us to evolve slowly over the course of geologic time until we reached our present position. I come from a Scandinavian family, so my sole sex education came one time when we visited the zoo and happened to see some monkeys. “Whatever it is they’re doing,” my parents told me, “don’t.”

I am now 23 years old, and I still believe that I was put on Earth by a complicated ritual involving Ayn Rand and eight storks. I fully intend to adopt, not on principle but because I have no idea how babies are made. I assume that they are either conceived immaculately — if you’re very lucky — or constructed somewhere from inexpensive materials and then shipped, which would explain why we refer to mothers as “expecting.”

It’s an awful lot to wrap one’s head around, and I don’t think kids should have to think about this at all. Later they may have to confront the horrifying fact that they are somehow attracted to someone or other. But until then, I say, forgo all the naughty bits. If they want to tackle the issue on their own time, the less we inform them about what they might be feeling, the better. They are unlikely to figure out any of this on their own. It is far too complicated! They can’t possibly hope to get anywhere until the Elders give them the 83-page manual. And the Internet remains a total mystery to anyone under the age of 25.

Lady Gaga is one thing. We all know she emerged fully formed from an egg. But our kids are another.

So I say this bill is a travesty — there’s too much sex in it. Sex belongs outside the classroom, in, uh, laboratories, or wherever it is they do it. I really couldn’t tell you.

I watched this on the news today and was struck by the fact that she was very passable. Hair must have been real. Voice was passable. Teenagers are the worst nightmare for us but, I'm thinking they knew her.
My wife pointed out that folks with children are very cautious at public restrooms on the look out for perverts which some folks appear to consider us. We walk dangerous ground when a restroom is needed.

I have been thinking about this before replying, when I first saw this I was just so disgusted, there is so much that we do not know about this, what led up to the situation, the people involved etc. etc. however even after thought and all my liberal tendancies and all my attempts at empathising with the attackers I can't find any way that this is acceptable. That the staff did not intervene to protect the victim, presumably other customers were there and stood by as well defies my understanding. I know I live a very long way from there, in a country that is built on tolerance and the freedom of individuals, but hey what happened to the "land of the free"? I have experienced some of the nastier areas of London and Paris where no one is advised to be on thier own, especially after dark, but somehow this still horifies me.
