    L.A. Fitness takes action over harassment of two black men

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...l-profiling-three-employees-report/531865002/

    What the hell is going on in this country? Yet again the Police are called for nothing, as the men are charged nothing, and there was no reason for them to be kicked out. Both had valid tags and BOTH signed in when they first entered.

    There is no way to even spin this one.

    Jill Greuling, executive vice president of operations for the fitness chain said in a statement that “regrettably. . . our staff unnecessarily escalated the situation and called the police rather than work through it.’’

    One was a long time member, the other had a four day guest pass...........what exactly was there to work out?

    Uh, are we going to list and record every slight inflicted upon every person in the country? If so we can ramp it up a bit and I can start listing every violent Black on White ( or anyone else) that I can find. You'll start behind and get further behind each day.

    Actually it may not be at conclusion. You can't stop every slight to everyone and it's only going to make things worse for Blacks in general. And I know that you won't take my bet. You'll lose, you'll lose badly and you know it.

    Calling the police is just a default reaction for most situations and even if its not always warranted we shouldn't be teaching people not to call the police because its their job to intervene and sort things out.

    But where is the "racial bias" part? ...I can't find it.

    There are links to two articles in this thread and both of them specifically mention black people, why? When I looked at the stories this appears to have nothing to do with race, nothing. The ONLY thing referring to any kind of racial aspect of this is how one guy 'felt.' If these guys were white and the employees were black this thread and the articles written about those folks would never exist.

    Black privilege strikes again.

    Black on white violence get zero attention in the mainstream media unless the white guys are gay. Remember the two black guys who slaughtered 5 or 6 white people in Kansas a few years ago? The mainstream media pretended it didn't happen.

    Remember. Any time you make a thread about a Black on white crime you’re a racist. Because reporting on black violence makes you racist didn’t you know? /wall

    It’s why intelligent debate can’t be had about race with liberals. Everything is racism or bigotry. There is no logic. Only irrational emotion...like my wife for around 3 days a month. :)

    Or the Christian/Newsome murders. There are many examples and I wonder why the libs choose to ignore it, especially since they are the victims.

    Do you care to point out what made this a racial incident? I’m really struggling to find it. I’m sure it exists as no one ever lies about this stuff so thanks in advance!

    There is now an expectation that the cops will shoot your enemies for you. Swatting is very popular. Ask me how I know. Chances are about 50/50 that the irritating person, or minority, or what have you gets dispatched by cops afraid to break a nail.

    I was swatted, for either, taking down a corruption racket, with cops and judges, or, my neighbor, who TOLD my gal next neighbor, he would get me evicted. I think he may have gotten impatient.

    I came close to getting killed. And, my father makes hateful accusations, and wishes me dead and such, and when I raise my voice, he threatens, you want suicide by cop? And he says he will lie to them.

    I am about to leave, after five years of waiting for SSDI case to resolve.

    "My friend stated to her that he is an active and current member and that his gym tag was in his locker'' --- Oates

    It's required at ALL gyms that you have your membership card/tag on you when checking in. You can't get to any of the gym's facilities until you check in. Leaving his tag in the locker is his fault, not the staff's.
