Kady Grass severely hurt and rendered unconscious in a supposed hate-driven assault at McDonald’s in Carpentersville, Illinois

In Carpentersville, Illinois, Kady Grass and her cousin went to a local McDonald’s after her middle school concert for a snack.

But inside, they were subjected to name-calling, which led to a physical attack.

One adult and one juvenile are now charged with beating a young woman inside the Carpentersville McDonald’s.

“One of them called me a ***. I was very upset at that,” Grass said.

While at the restaurant, Grass and her cousin were verbally attacked by two individuals who made derogatory comments about her sexual orientation. After a brief exchange of words, the two people left.

Unfortunately, the situation escalated later on, with the attackers returning to physically assault Grass. They reportedly punched and kicked her, causing serious injuries, including a broken nose, even after she had fallen unconscious.

“I don’t know when I went unconscious. I don’t remember them stomping on my head, but the detective said they did,” Grass said.

Police took 19-year-old John Kammrad into custody Saturday. He is charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery as well as mob action.

The other suspect, a juvenile, turned himself in to police on Friday and faces charges in juvenile court.

While the Kane County state’s attorney did not charge Kammrad with a hate crime, Grass says they told her they are considering adding that charge.

“It just blew my mind that this happened, and it was all because I like girls instead of men,” Grass said.

Neither Carpentersville police nor the Kane County state’s attorney chose to talk about the case on-camera on Monday. But police say the incident underscores the importance of addressing violence and discrimination in the community.
