The store coffee pot was broken and he needed to fuck someone's day up with piss.

I'm also confused. Surely she didn't call the employee's cell phone unless he gave her a card maybe? Also, what transpired for them to break the ID, urinate on it and film it? Like I can see being a dick and breaking it because they are a POS, but the rest is sociopath level.

What the hell is with the cutshot to Trump hotel at the end of the video? I'm guessing since this was in Kenosha, something about Kyle Rittenhouse, BLM, or Trump was brought up.

They're scumbags. Nothing more than that. I know a few people like this who do awful shit like this purely because they're shitty nasty shitheads.

The only thing I can think of is that she was a problem customer. Doesn’t justify it by any means, but that’s the only way it even kind of makes sense.

She is black. He is white. She chose not to buy the car which probably made him mad. Then her driver’s license with her personal information and address went viral in the snapchat video. The video has racial and misogynist overtones. This also happened in Kenosha home of the whole Rittenhouse/BLM tragedy.

Agreed. Messing with someone's ID is such a dick move. It might not be as hard now because they updated things during Covid at DOT.gov, but going into the DMV is a ruthless thing to put someone through for no reason. I found a random ID at a gas station 5 hours from home and was able to find the person on Facebook and messaged them to let them know where to find it. It took me like 3 minutes.

I don't know why you were downvoted for this reddit is weird

It's the problem customer comment.

He said it was the only thing he could think of, but it's looking like it was because she was black

Inked-Sailor t1_je1qklw wrote

Yeah, that seems like the most likely scenario.

My part was trying to clear up the commenters confusion as to the downvotes as stated by the comment above mine. They spiralled out.

_MrMeseeks t1_je0kh52 wrote

Yes and? They didn't say she was a problem customer. He just said that it could be a reason they did such weird shit. Also said they don't agree with it or that it justified what happened.

Inked-Sailor t1_je0knz0 wrote

Well, it's an odd thing to say when nothing even pointed to that.

_MrMeseeks t1_je0kybj wrote

So everyone asks why they would do something. Someone throws out a random well, maybe because of this. Doesn't make sense.

Inked-Sailor t1_je0l7u2 wrote

Except you think they would use available info. Like saying, "Maybe he is maladjusted and is a hateful little prick"

Why does she have to have done something?

_MrMeseeks t1_je0maa9 wrote

No one said she did, but it's not a completely preposterous scenario. Ever worked in the service industry dealing with the general public? Surprise the general public is filled with terrible people who bitch about anything and everything. But when there's hundreds of comments asking why this happened and someone gives a scenario on why someone m8ght do something so dumb, that person shouldn't be downvoted for it.

Inked-Sailor t1_je0mrsr wrote

And you got upset when I correctly identified why the comment was downvoted.

How triggered are you that your made up scenario isn't what others came up with?

Surpise people can be dicks for no other reason misdirected hate.

Maybe take a second and read what you have said to me and try to use an outside perspective.

And downvoting is to show you didn't like something. Or are you new here?

_MrMeseeks t1_je0numd wrote

I'm not upset this is just a conversation. Why can't people just talk about something without one person saying "you're mad" or "you're triggered ". It's ridiculous. Downvoting isn't a disagree button.

I feel like you're acting in bad faith in this conversation. Clearly you don't want to have a conversation since you won't believe someone's motives

And those are your feelings. Look, I made a simple comment as to what I observed, there was no criticism implied. It was the following response that led us here.

My bet is the two charged white guys got mad that the young black woman changed her mind about purchasing a car from them and acted like racists usually do

This was my immediate thought on reading the article. Then I went looking for pictures of the participants to confirm. The two young guys look like the khaki-clothed Charlottesville racists

Edit I see that I misread the article. There are two different dealerships involved

OkTop9308 t1_je1n57b wrote

The Racine car dealer that gifted the woman the car is different from the dealer whose salesperson peed on the license.

From the article:

Greene says he couldn't believe how the woman was treated by this other shop; that's when he decided to do something to make it right. He made a call on Facebook to get in touch with the woman.

“I just thought, ‘Hey she needs a car, she was car shopping. I have plenty of cars.’”

On Thursday, he met with her and gave her a free car off the lot.

Could be a race thing but my default is it is not. I'm white and bought a car from a dealer that had a 7-day return policy and the associate was white. When I called to tell him I changed my mind he had a fit over the phone and started swearing at me. When I brought the car back I made sure the manager knew what happened. The guy lost an opportunity at selling me a different car because he was just a psycho who couldn't handle failure.

Yeah man but did he snap your drivers license and piss on it? What that sales person did to you was definitely unprofessional but snapping and pissing on your DL? I think that’s beyond being unprofessional.
