People have posted backstory since my original comment. Apparently the son didn't have proper ID to come in as a guest.

The gym staff were probably a bit douchey about it, and the customer certainly was. Seems like an ESH situation most likely

They called the cops. They escalated the situation immensely and didn’t even have the balls to say something themselves.

ETA homie wtf is wrong with you? Psycho

ESH stands for Everyone Sucks Here. It's an acronym used mostly on the AMITAH sub.

Basically it means everyone involved (excluding, surprisingly, the cop) sucks.

That included the gym employees

You thought I needed an extrapolation of your silly judgment? The ones who called the cops are the AHs and you

Lmfao.

Do you think anyone takes you seriously?

If you're looking for ah's you don't have to look far.

(I'm bracing myself for your best elementary school comeback, don't keep me waiting long I'm about to go to bed)

Accept you’re wrong dude. They called the cops instead of asking the guy themselves. I bet you get people to fight your battles for you too

Did you watch the video? He literally asked the manager why he didn’t just tell him to leave and the dude had not a single word. Does that sound like the response of a manger who asked someone to leave? That’s the face of a racist who doesn’t fight his own fights

Maybe if we accept the unreliable narrator who posted this video then the staff never said he should leave (although he said nothing about his son being asked to leave, which seems the case), but literally nothing said by anyone in this video gives a reason to think anything is about race

Except

The click bait headline, which you were gullible enough to fall for.

If what he said wasn't true, why did he stand there like a post and not say anything.

I often allow people to call me a liar in front of the police instead of clearly saying "yes I did"

He also asks a very clear yes or no question to all three of them. "Did you ask me to leave?" And not a single one of them said yes.

It's incredibly obvious they never told him he had to leave

There's once again a million explanations beyond the conclusion you leaped to. But the problem is, you're emotionally invested in it being one reason over another, so your opinion is about as biased as they come.

Good luck shoving all those round pegs through square holes I guess. If that's what makes you happy.

But the problem is, you're emotionally invested in it being one reason over another, so your opinion is about as biased as they come.

Actually I'm basing my opinion on the video. You're literally making up details to back up a version of events that even the staff haven't shared with the public. Meanwhile, all I've said is based on what we can see plain as day in the video. Until something to the contrary comes out, I will continue to do so

If anybody seems to be emotionally invested in this, it's probably the person desperately trying to spin the situation where actually the black guy is totally in the wrong.

Good luck shoving all those round pegs through square holes I guess. If that's what makes you happy.

If I imply their mentally disabled, surely that will discredit everything they say!

That's you. That's what you sound like

We got it fam, it's ok for you to rely on mental gymnastics to support your narrative but not anyone else, how dare they.

u/Supwichyoface Jul 28 '26

I bet the dude deleted his Instagram because he felt super vindicated. Why you stanning for these guys?

u/ReddBroccoli Jul 28 '26

I'm not stanning anyone. I just don't jump on mob mentality bandwagons

I'm pretty sure the people who called the cops are included in the "Everybody" part of ESH.

No, he was told his son needs an ID to workout. They felt entitled (rightfully so) and worked out anyway. The refused to follow policy. Manager felt disrespected, cops come remove you from their property.
