OT Portland hotel calls cops on black guest in lobby

I actually know very well what a Liberal is and the people Im refering to self identify as them. So if you have a problem with it maybe you should go educate them not me.

You’re missing the point entirely though. The point is saying Earl is a Republican just because he seems to be a racist is insulting to Republicans.

 

The most severely disadvantaged of us tend to be attracted to the Democrats. Why is this? It's because Republicans aren't going to do anything to help them, rather their legislation tends to hurt the most disadvantaged among us.

Now, severely disadvantaged people are not heard and in an effort to be heard they are disruptive or as some would say, they riot.

I look at a lot of rioting as a cry for help.

 

Most ridiculous lie I have seen on this board, and you keep repeating it.

Racism in America is a commodity produced by the DNC’s policies for mass consumption since 1963.

 

Untrue.

Rioting is a cry to be put down like a rabid dog.

Only the most evil and cowardly people participate in mob violence.

I have several friends who are disabled and they are conservatives. Their vote is not available to the highest bidder, and lib policies drove the cost of healthcare out of reach for many of their needs.

Most of my liberal friends have led healthy lives and faced little adversity in their sheltered, unaware existence.

 

That's hilarious that you claim someones view is the "most ridiculous you have seen on this board" only to top it by claiming racism is the result of the DNC since 1963.

 

Ive known many union teamsters/members most all democrats that are as racist as they come. Ive known many conservatives christians most all republican that are as anti racist as they come.

 

You appear to have a reading comprehension problem.

 

It's true. You only have to look at our President to have an example.
I can also tell you that in the deep South where bigotry reigns supreme, all those bigots tend to be Republican, for another example.
Helms, Stennis and Thurmond for yet more examples.

 

I know many Christians Id consider bigots, and on and on. My point is that painting all republicans or democrats, or blacks, or whites, or Atheists, or Christians, whatever is literally the root of racism, and all those other "isms". It's terribly not funny when a Black person gets profiled for being Black and judged by that, just as it's not funny to judge a Democrat or anyone else based solely on a label, skin color, etc.
What happened to this guy sounds awful and I hope the people who did it for it.

 

Racism is as ugly as it gets and it's not a respecter of race, religion, or party. I totally 100% agree with your post!
I taught my kids not to be quick to judge others and to look at the positives even in a bad situation or circumstance, try and be a peace maker and know its best to turn the other cheek at times, which doesn't mean they are weak. I also, thought them how to box and defend themselves.

 

100% false.

 

I’m not so sure about the police. I want police to strictly follow the laws applied evenly and correctly, not to be moral arbiters. By the time the police arrive, there was a big dust-up and the wronged guest had been evicted. The police simply made sure he left without more of an altercation that could have resulted in injuries. The police did not arrest, detain or do anything other then enforce trespassing and offer the mad a ride.

The hotel on the other hand was totally complicit in racism. The police did their job so the courts could resolve the issue civilly.

 

I consider the worst of the bigots, or at least those that are irredeemable, to not be Christians.

 

Isn’t that like saying ‘not every Muslim is bad..but....every middle eastern terrorist seems to be Muslim...’. ? And isn’t that what “liberals” have a problem with?

 

I guess I missed that part in Romans.

 

I am guessing you deciphered the issue or the police did correctly. I could not tell what the hell went down from what I saw. Did not see enough

 

Another manufactured outrage by another rude prick who thinks he's deserving of special deference from normal everyday business etiquette and security for guests.

All hotels have a policy that in exchange for a room you agree to follow the rules which include providing proof that you are a paid guest. It’s a basic safety rule that is the first line of defense in maintaining a safe and clean property that will attract guests and repeat guests. Usually also required by the hotel’s insurance company.

With all the homeless and methheads in PDX Earl likely deals with unwelcome intruders of various levels of insanity every night.

When they refuse to tell you their room number as this clown deliberately did, you call the police and trespass them from the property.
Any guest who breaks the rules is a threat to overall guest security and comfort.

Whether too loud, or criminal activity or just rudeness, they are a liability to a successful business.

 

You'd really think that businesses would be smarter than this in a cell phone/youtube age.

 

None of this matters at all unless they ask the same question of EVERY single person. The second it becomes a situation where they only asked HIM then it's pretty easy to connect the dots as to how they "randomly" decided to ask this guy what his room number was. For frame of reference I travel for work a moderate amount and spend a lot of time in hotels, in their lobbies etc, never once been asked what my room number was at any hotel. Even when I've been in their lobby for hours either on the phone or waiting for some one, or whatever the case may have been. Should the guy have just said what his room number was? I don't know probably, but why is it on Blacks to "need" training in how to diffuse situations and not on whites to not create stupid situations that don't need to happen...

 

Your questions probably do have a logical answers. This night they ran off a paying customer, or so the story goes. I am not so sure as to why the fellow could not
tell them (the security guard) his room number. Odd that. Then we have the reality. It is not that often you stay in a hotel and the sitting area has fellows wearing hoodies. I stayed in a hotel just last week, on Monday night in Eugene. Not a hoodie in the Lobby.
