Woman pleads guilty in McDonald’s transgender beating

Nineteen-year-old Teonna Brown has pleaded guilty in a Baltimore courtroom to one count of first-degree assault and one count of committing a hate crime for brutally attacking 22-year-old trans woman Chrissy Polis. Teonna and a 14-year-old accomplice, who is not being identified because of her age, viciously attacked Chrissy in a Baltimore McDonald’s when she dared to use the girls’ bathroom. A McDonald’s employee filmed the video and can be heard laughing in the background. Absolutely terrifying and disgusting. I don’t think I would be able to live with myself if I raised such hateful, mean, dumb bitches. Watch the video (below) to see how long it takes anyone to step in and help the victim. Shameful!

PS: Sorry for the Fox News clip (ew), but the ABC video is embedding disabled.
