The Lloyd District hotel faced a social media firestorm after Jermaine Massey, 34, a paid guest, filmed himself being removed from the hotel by a security guard and Portland police. Oregon Public Broadcasting reported on the incident, which the hotel initially called a "misunderstanding." His eviction from his room after talking on the phone in the hotel lobby drew national attention over the Christmas holiday.

On Thursday, Massey's attorneys, Gregory and Jason Kafoury, of Portland-based law firm Kafoury & McDougal, asked the hotel for a full accounting of why hotel security had "approached" him and "interrogated" him

"Jermaine Massey was, 'calling his mother while black,' from a quiet corner of the lobby of the DoubleTree hotel in Portland," they said in their press release. "Please explain in detail in what manner Mr. Massey was a threat to safety or security."

This morning, the hotel apologized and said it had placed two employees on leave.

This guy shouts to his mom lmao

some people shout by default. DMX shouts on the phone and when he's praying to Jesus.

"zero tolerance." the manager was probably suspending him using the same speech Red gave to Deebo.

"social justice warriors trippin. want me to ask for your job back. you know I wouldn't trip."

maybe he just had a loud voice but wasn't shouting literally. but the guard thought he was cause different people have different opinions of what counts as "shouting".

Of course Zikten tries to defend blatant racism

what? I'm not defending it. I'm trying to figure out why they got mad. I am on the victim's side here, dude.

lol

I symphatize with people who get accused of shouting but don't feel like thye were. cause it's happened to me

and I don't even know if that is what happened. I'm just hypothesizing

this exactly why people think I am racist. this stupid shit like this. people totally missing my points and misunderstanding what I am saying. I literally am defedning the black man actually and am on his side, but someone thinks I am attacking him

Update: CNN just said the workers responsible were fired

Good. Fuck em
