Aftermath meeting of beating.


For the first time, the victim of a brutal beating has met the woman who tried to step in and help.
The story made headlines around the country and the world. Chrissy Polis, a transgender woman, was beaten inside a McDonald's in Baltimore County back on April 18th. Employees stood by and watched, and one worker recorded the attack with a cell phone.
Now, Polis says she's recovering but still trying to deal with the effects of that beating. The woman who stepped in, Vicky Thoms, says she wishes more people would have helped.
On Friday they went to lunch together, well outside of Rosedale, where Chrissy Polis says last month's video-taped attack at the McDonald's on Kenwood avenue brought her far more notoriety than she ever wanted. ‘I don't like to go outside usually. I really don't because I have a lot of people I know you, saying like 'I know you, you're that girl' and I don't want to be recognized that I really don't. I just want to go back to my low-key life,’ she said.
Polis said she cries when she sees the video, which shows two teens, police say an 18-year-old and a 14-year-old, beating her relentlessly. Thoms tried to stop them.
“If it wasn't for her they would have succeeded in dragging me out of the McDonald's and lord knows what they could have accomplished at that time,’ Polis said.
Thoms had just entered the restaurant when she saw what was happening. “I just couldn't understand why he was standing there, watching somebody being beat up and not helping,’ she said.
Polis said the teens attacked her because she is a transgender woman -- and she considers the beating a hate crime. “I am a woman now. I am. I've always been this way ever since the day i was born, ever since I could walk,’ she said.
The Baltimore County State's Attorney has not yet made a determination on whether hate crime charges should apply. Vicky Thoms says the distinction didn't occur to her during the assault; sShe saw someone in trouble, and she tried to help. “I don't look at her as different, I looked at her as human,’ she said.
Polis is unemployed -- and she says since the attack she's had a hard time finding work. She and Vicki Thoms say they plan to keep in touch now that they've finally met.

Beaten at a local McDonald’s

I don't nomaly post anything like this, but some of you are people I trust and know a little about me, Big Jim from Galaxy in Flames, Pappa J from Dice Rolla and the ones who read what I posted that day on Jim's Blog. My thoughts go out to the victim of this hate crime.




On Friday, Adrian Leigh Cowan of Baltimore started a petition on Change.org, speaking out in response to a shocking online video of a transgender woman being brutally beaten at a local McDonald’s.



As Adrian told our team of organizers, “I was moved to start this petition because when I first viewed the video, I was brought to tears. How anyone could stand by and allow this to happen is unfathomable to me." More than 30,000 Change.org members had the same reaction, and joined Adrian in signing the petition.



If you haven’t watched the horrifying video of this hate crime, please click this link (WARNING: Video contains extremely graphic violence). Then add your name to Adrian's petition calling on McDonald’s and Maryland authorities to hold those involved accountable.



If you would prefer not to watch the video posted by Adrian, you should know what it documents: A 22-year-old transgender woman is pulled out of a McDonald’s bathroom and viciously beaten by two customers. She is punched, knocked to the ground, dragged across the floor by her hair, and kicked in the face until she appears to experience a seizure.



Instead of coming to this woman’s assistance, one McDonald’s employee filmed the assault while others can be heard cheering the assailants on as they attack the victim. After the brutal incident, the video was posted to the Internet, where an employee bragged that the assault was OK because the victim “was a man dressed like a woman.”



Sadly, this attack is a reminder of the rampant harassment and discrimination that transgender people face every day. Nationwide, more than half of all transgender people experience verbal or physical abuse when trying to access public accommodations like restrooms. Brutal acts of violence are all too common -- and authorities often fail to prosecute these crimes to the fullest extent of the law.



Not surprisingly, McDonald's lacks standard policies for protecting transgender individuals, despite a decent record of workplace discrimination protections for gays and lesbians. And while the company has pledged to “take appropriate action” against all employees involved in this heinous event, just one has been punished.



Please join Adrian Leigh Cowan in demanding that McDonald’s and Maryland authorities hold accountable both the assailants in this beating and the employees who cheered it on -- and to make sure that an attack like this never happens again:

We can’t let this brutal hate crime in Maryland go unpunished. Thank you for taking action today.
