Man Charged After Assaulting Black Parking Garage Worker For Not Showing His ID To Him And His Mom

"You don't belong here!"

White mother and son berate and assault a Black man, Johnny Martinez, after they demand he explain why he's in their building in Nashville, TN.

He wears a headlamp, kneepads, & lanyard. He told them he works for a booting company that check for permits. pic.twitter.com/11Mxr5Eqsq

Isn’t Tennessee a stand your ground state? They are going to mess with the wrong one someday.

He was definitely goading the racists. Good for him for standing up for himself, but it's a dangerous game. You never know when they might pull out a gun for "self defense"

Lol. You can tell 911's reaction to her asking for the guy's ID when she says, "I'm not security. No."

It is the incredulity of racists for me. Like, how dare he be in a space they don't want him to be in and not answer their questions!?! https://t.co/D1KsxI5Fc1

Hello @dell, looking for an update on your employee, Edward Brennan. His behavior is not only horrible, however he is now suing the man he assaulted. Please advise, before I do any business with your company. https://t.co/isYKNgAMw8

If they were actually concerned about security, they could have … gone to security. Like they did at the end of the video. They just wanted to be self-appointed intimidators of the kind of people they don’t want in the building.

All that concern for safety and security yet they took the time to harass the “dangerous man” and demand he identify his reason for being there 🙄😒

The thing is… she’s not actually scared that he’s doing crime, she is literally just doing this to harass him. If she were afraid he was some kind of criminal she wouldn’t be standing there. We need stronger laws about this kind of harassment.
