There’s video footage of a Marriott hotel security guard chewing out two people at a hotel, and it’s hard to know exactly what to make of this incident…

@ Steve -- I'm guessing marijuana wasn't the drug involved here. Apologies if that doesn't fit your narrative.
I’m just glad to be able to partake in such quality travel information and advice on this website.
They got the attention they were looking for. Now let’s hope this messed up family gets the help they obviously need
I feel bad for the security guard and hotel staff . Marriott corporation has a lawsuit here against the trespassing drug induced non hotel guests. Glad the security guard kept the employees and other guests out of harms way.
The security guard clearly lost control of the situation and upped the temperature. He should have never threatened ANYONE.
Hotels never want the cops called because of the optics, plus it reflects poorly on hotel security that it wasn't able to resolve the issue.

The primary job of a security guard is loss prevention. An owner or corporation wants protection of assets.
He went too far but I doubt he reacts like that if they didn't give him a pretty good reason to do something.
Marsellus Wallace really must have hit some hard times having to take that security officer job
The kid has a funny haircut, liberal clothing and looks like a brat who probably doesn’t respect veterans or traditional American values. I trust the security guy on this one.
Totally unprofessional, not wearing his mask properly and being abusive and threatening, using profanities.
Wow, so much classism in these comments. I think the kids did the right things: they recognized their father was a disturbance, came up with a plan to address it, ran the plan by the hotel, and stayed calm while the security guard was completely unprofessional and emotional. I'm not sure how they could have handled this unfortunate situation any better.
Because I was racially targeted by white men not once but 3 times in 2 months.
I would not repeat what they said to me and these incidents turned me into a “racist” now that I cringed every time a young white person gets too close to me.

@K Lim
I'm Asian, do you know the stats for Black on Asian crimes? What if I cheered every time a black person gets brutalized by the police?
Being a racist yourself doesn't help the situation.
Mr. Steve, if drugs were legal then the Dad would have safe, quality controlled dosing and wouldn't be "messed up."
I'm just wondering why the kids didn't call for an ambulance as this seemed to be a medical situation.....
Sad that this goes viral without both sides even being explored.
Very easy to put forward a "we did no wrong" statement by the "young couple" (sounds nice) after the fact without the other side being presented.
This does not deserve to be aired. Woke.
for those thinking the security guard is the jerk, we didn't see everything on video. People are outright jerks to customer service and maybe he's had enough of it and lost it. As for dad was messed up on drugs he need medical care not a room to sleep it off. A trip to the emergency room and a stint in rehab is what dad needed.
I'll be the one to tell the truth. It was a black lowlife yelling at 2 white people in an attempt to "Beat his chest" He feels empowered by all the BLM bullshit going on in this crazy country, so he just showed us all why they are what they are. The poor girl was in tears, but the lowlife just kept adding fuel to the fire. If the roles were reversed, I'd bet my last dollar BLM would be up in arms crying RACISM as they always do. The fake news ( CNN & MSNBC ) would be screaming and fire the white people. Al LOWLIFE Sharpton would be grandstanding as he usually does. Did he ever pay the over 2 Million in taxes he owes? That piece of scum should get the beating he deserves, and put in a cell where he belongs. I'm sick and tired of hearing how white people are the racist, yet it is scum like this Dolt who are the racist. I'm sure all you DEM-LIB-TARDS & BLM & ANTIFA simpleton's will attack me, which will just prove my point.
We shouldn't judge either side until we can be clear of the context. I understand how anger can make you do things you may regret. Both the couple (esp. the guy) and the security guard should have de-escalated no matter how tense the situation became. It's not worth getting into a ruckus over a verbal disagreement.
Wow really unprofessional. Went to the United Airlines school of customer service. We could run such a great hotel if not for those pesky customers!
If they did something so bad that would justify threatening them with physical violence, the police should have been called to deal with it instead. That behaviour was unacceptable regardless of what the guests had done. And if that is how you fantasise about treating your guests, you really should not be in a customer facing position...
This is clearly a white person claiming to be black… no black person refers to themself as “colored”, in fact we hate that term. Nice try though (not really).
Wow @John. You sure read a lot out of that clip without truly knowing what took place. I am super impressed how you jumped into racism and the Sharpton’s tax bill. You are quite a guy. I am sure The Proud Boys are taking on new recruits.
@Hank Tarn: please clue me in how we should recognize a veteran at first site for the future. Traditional American values? Really? That is what the security guy was exhibiting? Based on the last five years, what exactly are “Traditional American values”? Maybe you and @John should meet up and correct the rest of the world.
@D3kingg: where did you come up with “drug induced non hotel guests”? The boys father was supposedly in a room on drugs. Not these kids. Once again your lack of comprehension is at play.
Facts are facts. What took place doesn't matter. The big bad black man ( ASSWIPE ) was attacking the 2 white people who did nothing. The girls was in tears, yet BLM didn't care, just kept attacking. You know if the colors were switched, all hell would have broke loose. Grew up you little DEM-LIB-TARD. You are no doubt a basement Biden lover who cries about Jan 6th, yet have nothing to say about all last year as BLM & their minion's were taking over Seattle and other cities while burning 1/2 the country. Since they are black that is allowed. TRUMP was the best thing for this once great country, now we have a sippy cup retard in office, which of course was stolen from king trump. So go cry to your momma and enjoy your freebies. That stupid BLACK security guard should be fired and put in a cage where he belongs. You can bring him his 3 free meals a day. You are nothing but a lowlife Dolt.
Stop it!!
They both have phones .... they could have called the police themselves. So they both walk into a hotel; with cell phones, and ask the receptionist to call the police... too funny
I stand 100% with the security guard / manager. Those little punks got chewed. They went home crying. The Brave man defending his employees saved the day. End of story. move on.
They weren't guest they didn't have a room if you listened
These kids were trying to get a rise out of someone so they could video tape and post it its pathetic to push someone to that limit just to go viral
I imagine the security guard deals with a lot of Karen's I don't blame him for a second
Who did 20 years in the military and owns the security company that has several regional contracts with 5 - fortune 500 companies. To provide armed and not armed security for 185 locations. He employs 398 people...and still puts his name on the board to work late night shifts as a fill in. Hands on gentleman. Oh and WEALTHY AS F.....!
But, hey...your right. He is a DOLT for protecting his white receptionist from white hudlum kids...with a dope head for a sorry arse....daddy! A baby maker...who can't provide a decent pair of shoes for his hippie long haired holes all in his shoes...with a cheap t-shirt on...
Made they should form a group themselves...WLM...to bring light to their plightful lives... DOPE HEADS!
The security guard was fired, I guess he has a history of talking to people like that
