The brutal beating at a Baltimore County McDonald's was certainly a tragedy. However, unfortunately the bulk of the media attention has been given to the trans gender aspect of the incident and once again completely missed the mark. The fact that the person assaulted was trans gendered or even the racial differences, in my opinion are really irrelevant in this case. What we should be focusing on the real problem, which is the violent temperament of contemporary America—especially but not exclusively inner city youths and those on the lower economic rungs.
If someone looks at you wrong, beat them up. If someone makes you mad, kill them. That is the attitude today, that is what is wrong, and that is what we should be focusing on! Unfortunately this aspect is not as interesting as a racial conflict or a gender issues which our media loves, and consequently rarely gets the attention it deserves. Additionally the fact that there were so many bystanders and that only one made a true attempt to stop the attack testifies to the sad state of our citizenry—the days of chivalry are seem to be fading fast!
