So, is this a "hate crime" or what?

Violence in another Mc Donalds almost kills customer

Here is another fine example of the trend of violence in fast food restaurants. Two females beating the hell out of a patron, while several employees stand by and watch. One male manages to provide the facade of assistance to the victim in this brutal attack.



The two females exit, then re-enter the store to continue the beating, until a an older woman attempts to stop them from dragging the victi More..m outside into the parking lot. note: the male employees have disappeared from camera view, even though they are plenty well capable of stopping the attack.



At the end, the white victim is beaten until she has a seizure, at which point the camera operator warns the female attackers to flee, because the police are on the way. Note: he makes sure to repeatedly tell the criminal attackers to flee, instead of keeping them there for the police to apprehend.



4.19 pm EST UPDATE: response from Mc Donalds: "We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonald's strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter."

Heck no it's not a hate crime. That crime was conducted against a white person by two "victims" of society.







Crime is crime. This entire hate crime scenario is asinine!
Yep sure is a hate crime The trouble is Since the 60s the news media and the school system have brainwashed the White people into thinking that they are the only ones prejudice. Truth is the opposite is true. A Black is way way safer in a White area then a White is in A Black AreaSo, is this a "hate crime" or what?
There is no such thing as a hate crime. It devalues crimes committed against people except those considered to be committed by "haters". Why is one life worth more than another? It isn't! That is why hate crime laws are so ridiculous.
Using your scenario. by definition according to memos from the USDOJ just a simple assault and battery case. It does not meet the requirements of a "hate" crime.
That's a hate crime. Here's a case that's more of a gray area.
Caution; Violence and profanity.

Wow you can't even go out and get a burger without having a fist plow into your face.





Just another one of those moments where you have to ask "WTF, America? What's the matter with you?"
Could you imagine the stink if it was whites beating up a black? Just more liberal hypocrisy in their silence.
If i was there I would have pulled out a gun as it seems it was attempted murder,,,,,in my opinion.....baron lifetime NRA and CCW permit.....
You know what they, you cant bring the hood out of a black girl.
Yeah but she's a White woman so it's not a hate crime.
they should hang those two and the men that stood by doing nothing
Really what can One say?
Although it is terrible, the clip does not necessarily show if there was a true hate crime. A hate crime is where a person or persons are targeted because of their race, color, sexual orientation, religion and such. just because one side is black and the other is white is not enough evidence. Now one point, if the manager and staff cannot safely control the situation, it may be appropriate that they get the two to leave and let the police pick them up later. z
This video is just horrific. It's really not justified to use something like this for any kind of political argument. Regardless of what relationship existed, or what did or did not happen all we can do is hope that young woman is able to recover and hope that the two women who attacked her are brought to justice. The nature of her seizure at the end of the video suggests significant spinal cord damage and the women who attacked her belong in prison.

@ PE, but to use this video in the manner you're doing here will only stir up the racists and most likely lead to crimes against innocent black people by ignorant skinhead morons. I just did a Google.com search and the web is lighting up with inflammatory rants from racist morons. Whatever happened in this situation, it was an awful and horrific incident, but the last thing that people need to be doing right now is trying to use this incident to incite racial division - which is exactly what you appear to be doing. I myself find it disturbing that one is being charged as a juvenile, and hopefully that will change. Both of the attackers in this video deserve significant prison sentences for attacking another person like that.
You'd know if it's a hate crime if there was any evidence that the victim was targeted because of her race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or religion.

There is no such evidence, so this is not a hate crime.
