It’s not their job to protect customers from being assualted by other customers. If company policy is anything like at the convenience store I used to work at they’d have been fired had they tried tp physically intervene. At the very least they’d have to pay for any medical treatment they required (like stitches) out of their own pocket. ---

I went directly to LiveLeak, and the description now on this video now no longer match what The Blaze has quoted. ---

If I am understanding the circumstances, they were beating up a transvestite for being in the ladies room. Is that it? Regards, Shodan ---

This video is all the proof you need that the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the 13th and 14th Amendments, etc., etc. were just a bunch of bad ideas that gave Black people license to act this way. You liberals need to stop denying that there’s a race war going on, and untie the hands of us real Americans so we can fight it, or at least let us say nigger again because they get to say it and it feels so good to say nigger and it’s just not fair! Is that the subtext here? ---

OOHHH Look at the black girls beating up a defenseless white girl and the black McDonald’s employees didn’t stop them, the animals. Ooooh the black Mcdonald’s employees told the girls to leave instead of detaining them for the police. The girls deserve to be charged with assault but the whole “look at the crazy black people” schtick is racist. It sounds like the white “girl” was actually a transvestite that was in the girl’s bathroom who got into a verbal altercation with other girls that were in the bathroom and they beat the crap out of him (they should have just called the police) and the seizure was an act to stop the girls from beating on him (I woulda done the same thing if it would convince the girls to leave). ---

Nice to see you jump off the racist high dive and into the homophobia and bigotry pool. Basically, if a trans woman gets beaten into a seizure she (or _he_ as you call her) probably deserved it. Why am I not surprised? ---

The seizure does not look like seizures I have seen before, unless she had some pre-existing condition I don’t think that was a severe enough beating to cause a seizure, I’m thinking it was an act to stop the beating. ---

What the fuck are you on about? DA said nothing about the guy deserving anything, only that DA would have faked (if that is the case) a siezure to escape the girls. I’m vaguely amused at the idea of this being a guy beaten up by two fat girls. ---

I like all the tough guy keyboard commentators. Here’s what happens if you help a stranger in a fight: 1. they beat you up instead 2. her friends laughing and egging them on and taping it beat you into a coma 3. you get stabbed 4. you get shot ---

The person in the video is faking a seizure.
