what could be a major blow for McDonald's family-friendly image, she claimed staff stood by and allowed the attack to continue.

One worker, Vernon Hackett, filmed the beating and later posted it online, where it attacked hundreds of thousands of viewers.
This got more ratings than Jerry Springer.

Why was the other thread closed? Here is an update-

May 11, 2011
Hate Crime Charges in Maryland McDonald's Beating Caught On Video (http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/maryland/hate-crime-charges-in-maryland-mcdonalds-beating-caught-on-video-051611 - broken link)
Teonna Brown, 18, was indicted Monday on assault and hate crime charges in the attack on Chrissy Lee Polis at the restaurant last month. She is also charged with assaulting a customer and a McDonald's employee who tried to intervene. A 14-year-old girl is facing the same charges in juvenile court. The Associated Press typically does not identify juveniles charged with crimes. Both teenagers are being held, prosecutors said no one else would be charged.

I hope the perps get some "hard justice". No one deserves to be beaten like that for being being a transgendered female using the womens restroom.

You're also the guy that said that you didn't care at all about how Weiners wife felt. Uh, perhaps it's time to take a look in the mirror and do some self reflecting.

A business owner--and presumably the employees who work for him--has a responsibility to provide an environment that is reasonably safe for customers and to take steps to intervene when customer safety is threatened. The franchise could well be sued because the employees did so little to intervene in this brutal beating.

Dialing 911 takes less effort than recording it for youtube fame.
But such are people today.
