Chrissy Lee Polis, Transgender Woman Beaten, Speaks Out (Video)

• Chrissy, I hope you heal well and will be able to start going back outside soon.

• It's about time someone stands up I wish she gets murder charges.....This has to stop somewhere  its actually uphalling that this was "egged" on.....and if that woman is so viliolent that she thinks someone is taking her man...what the hell would she do a to a child? Have her rot for what shes done if she doesnt like transgenders too bad! The world is made where every one is made of differnt colors and differently shaped etc.....Thank you for the elderly woman to tired to help she should press charges too for assult....and the 14 year old make her go work with transgenders and make it through the court of law so she gets use to different people....actually throw her in a tiger cage thats different for her as well!

• I don't feel strongly about transgenders at all. I will speak my mind to those who are ignorant and want to pick on her even more when she did nothing to deserve this . She has a history of seizures and was even trying to get away because she felt like she was going to have one. This is wrong. Yes, she was born a man...but, guess what, she is a girl now. All those who want to say it is her fault for being beaten just pisses everyone else off that has a heart at all

• That isn't why she was attacked. Chrissy was already out of the bathroom when the girls came up and started spitting in her face because she was "looking" at her guy... They were trashy and that's why this happened. She is a woman and can use the woman's bathroom. She isn't a freak, you are.

• Fifs, you are definitely correct . McDonalds has just as much blame. They could have done more. All they did was watch like it was a show and recorded it for all others to see. Have you read what one of the employees wrote on his facebook about this ? Blaming it on Chrissy Lee. She didn't do anything besides having an urgency to use the restroom that night and no one helped besides that elderly woman. You are the ignorant one. You shouldnt have ever spoken.

• Can anybody tell me how to get in touch with Crissy?I want to take her home to meet me mum.

•       I believe no one has the right to condone or justify physical brutality on another person for their image or how they choose to portray themselves in any given social realm so long that it does not infringe physical harm on another.      In any case it appears that the immediate authority and responsibility at the time would be the McDonald's Manager and employees themselves to intercede on controlling the radical actions of physical oppression that was being exercised upon this victim. However from the video there was a total void on any control from the immediate representatives of the establishment. No one called the police nor was there an announcement to the attacker's that the police were being alerted. McDonald's authority to be has already claimed a certain degree of responsibility in the termination of the nonactive employees, there-by admitting that the employees had a responsibility to intercede and regain control over what was a severe cat fight.         

• stupid ass I will tell you what they did, they snatched the phone from her when she tried to call the police 

• . This crap about abuse is funny because you allow multiple versions of mental abuse to take place on this site. So why speak up now is it because the person is gay and it offends you. I’m sorry to see anyone mistreated for any reason but you are as screwed up as these people are to allow other to post abusive racist statements here. When? When ever they wanted too except now you are not special because you are gay and if he is a man why were he in the woman’s restroom. So to you there guy just close up shop if you wish or stop all the verbal abuse on this site okay. And for those who don' think all abuse is wrong except when you and your friends are dogging others don’t cry when it something you feel strongly about

• Guest, that is not a solution either. If Chris Paul can forgive the guys who killed his grandfather the day after he signed his letter of intent with Wake Forest and further ask for their release from prison, I think any other further violence doesn't solve anything. What we are dealing with here is ignorance vs intelligence. Not everyone born into this world had the best parenting or role models growing up so they manifested that poor start into who they are today. However, there comes a time when you have to stop blaming your past and take responsibility for your actions. Hackett (I won't even dare call him Mr.) is a kid brought up in "Reality TV" generation where it is OK to be an a$$hole publicly. I think that if he tries to sue McDonald's, he is one of those ignoramouses that will never get it and his life will spiral downward into the future messes that he creates for himself. If he can look at the man in the mirror and have an epiphany that what he did was not the best course of action, then he has a fighting chance of redeeming the rest of his life. The unfortunate truth is that without his footage, we may have never seen how brutal this attack was. If it was caught on McDonald's close circuit, it would not have never gone viral and quite possibly could have been destroyed leaving what happened up to interpretation and saving the big obesity causing fast food chain some serious special sauce on the face. So Hackett, if you are reading this, and you "get it"' today could be the first day of the rest of your life. If McDonald's is reading this, I know your lawyers must be working feverishly to advise you and that is most of the reason for the delayed "right" response. Whenever the time does come for you to do the right thing, you too only have one shot at making an impression, good or bad, that will reverberate through the decent people who frequent your franchises, speaking of which why is it that it is so difficult to find a McDonald's that I feel comfortable bringing my child to? They seem to be riddled with foul speaking homeless people, students, thugs, etc. The ones I pass by daily are a breeding ground for violence. If the burgers don't kill you, someone sitting next to you inside a McDonald's just might.

• It all began to unravel starting with LBJ's "Great Society" , then accelerated down the shute.

• hey hackett y don't we put mens clothing on u,throw u and the mc maggots team in a bathroom and beat u into a (expletive) coma!punish them by letting them go? how about locking them up and throwing away the key! who made u god 2 say ill take ur life from u?if they are not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law then i will lose all faith in the judicial system.i really am hating the fact i was born simply because of animals like her.and to chrissy may u have everything in this life u want an deserve!

• I'm standing in your corner, Chrissy. My heart goes out to you and I hope you get a great lawyer quick..... please.......McDonald's is so bad for you by itself. Its also bad for the planet. Boycott McDonald's

• I think anyone that watched this crime should be charged, not just McDonalds staff.

• If she would have gone into a men's restroom, the attack would have been men who beat her more severe then two women. If she would have gone in the women's restroom, she would have been severely beaten either way. There is a place for heartless people and judgment will come for them in the meantime the victim will have enough money after trials are over to buy that McDonalds and fire every employee there. Nobody rules nobody...everybody has a right to do what they want and to be what they want to be, it's nobody's call if they're wrong or right but God's. Judgement is upon them.

• You must remember the USA is one of the few country that do not have public restrooms witch means a restroom open to every one (men & woman) and on average they are in there at the same time. who is in a bathroom at any point in time should not be reason for any one to attack them

• "McDonald's has since dismissed the employee who was taping the incident and is considering penalizing others who were on duty at the time." CONSIDERING?????????????? They should SUSPEND everyone that was on duty for a month WITHOUT PAY!!! This is so sad...and rediculous!!! SO many hateful people in the world!!!!

• How come none of the employees called 911?

• Things like this make me feel ashamed as a human being. No other species on Earth inflicts pain on one another simply because of hate. And hate is just fear of what is not understood.

• Inflicting pain on someone for what they are to me falls into the same catagory as HITTLER.

• I dont expect someone like Mufflerbearings to understand transgendered, I dont really expect anyone thats not trans or anyone that doesnt know anyone thats trans to understand what WE go through. I am a female to male trans, and I DO NOT play dress up and try to act like a man... I along with other trans was simply born in the wrong body, like ppl born with any kind of disability we cant help who we are. This was a HATE crime by some hoodrats simply because they HATED HER... so Mufflerbearings you need to learn respect.

• What happened to humanity?

• This is just absolutely apalling and even if you don't agree with how someone lives their life, it is never okay to inflict pain on someone the way that these girls did.I just hope that they make peace within themselves before they answer to someone greater.

• Mufflerbearings, i truly feel sorry for you after reading your post. Thats all.

• Are you fucking sick in the head. Someone needs to beat your fucking ass into a coma.

• So because some ignorant people don't believe in transgendered people or whatever other kind of people you want to label "freaks", it's OK to be violent towards them? Did you fail kindergarten or something?

• I completely agree with Fifs on all counts. I don't believe it is ignorant to think that McDonald's should be held responsible for the actions (or lack thereof) of its employees. It was inside their establishment that this heinous crime occurred and the people who work at said establishment are in charge of calling the cops immediately and working towards diffusing the situation at hand. Instead, they waited until the woman was brutally beaten until the point of seizing to call the cops (which was over 2 minutes). The cops should have been called when the assault first occurred instead of standing there laughing and video tapping it. There is certain training that employees (specifically managers) have to undergo to learn the skills necessary to deal with different situations that could arise within the workplace. So, by choosing to employ individuals who are either not trained properly, choose not to implement training or lack common decency and humanity you are going to be held responsible for their actions. McDonald's will get sued and inevitably they will settle outside of court because it is a companies poor hiring abilities and inability to control its employees that will be blamed for this disgusting situation not being handled a in proper manner.

• Tbeartcb04 - I guess you missed the part where the McDonalds employee stood back and filmed the entire beating on his cell phone, laughing with the other McDonalds employees, and then posted it on the internet (for you to watch)? McDonalds as a reputable company should be promoting not only their food, but also their values and equality in the workplace. In this way I agree that McDonalds is partly responsible for what happened, as ethically they will be sending out the wrong message if an employee who should be promoting their brand openly laughs and films abuse on their premises. So whether it is via monetary means or not, I completely agree that they should offer some kind of compensation for the abused, and / or remorse for what happened. I wouldn't say Jay is ignorant, I would say he is shocked and disgusted, along with everyone else. I would say you on the other hand, are just looking for an argument.

• dude its a guy in a dress in a womens bathroom. He can play dress up all he wants but in a polite society we look the other way until a grown man dressed as a woman goes into a womans bathroom.....its called freak...

• Jay you are as ignorant as the two criminals that perpetrated this crime. What did Mcdonalds have to do with the the two girls that threw the punches? I guess I missed the part of the video where Ronald was commanding them to carry out this heinous crime. Can you please send that to me? By your comment I assume that we are suing Juicy Couture, Faded Glory, Element, and Fruit of the Loom too? Because cleary they were endorsing this action because the girls were wearing their products? You are disgusting, looking for money from somone or something that had nothing to do with this action.

• People forget thier history, they forgot the things that happen to the people that came before them, your elders. It is the simple hate for a person not like yourself. Does anyone practice what has been taught. That being compassion and understanding. To let be poeple be who they are. The news reports this as an alleged attack. That is so inane. The video shows it was an assult on another person. Identification statements obtained. If the attack ocurred on one of their employees, I would think they would have done something about it.

• It is disgusting to see how people can care so little about another person. How can anyone beat someone for just being different. I hope that Mcdonalds get sued enogh to put them out of business.
