GoFundMe for Harassed Holiday Inn Employee Recorded by Guest Garners $35k in Less Than 24 Hours

An outpouring of online support began Monday as video emerged on social media showing a Holiday Inn Express employee having a mental breakdown as he was harassed by an irate guest recording his encounter with the front desk receptionist.
A Holiday Inn employee appeared to hit himself repeatedly in the head before bashing the computer in front of him as a guest angrily chastised the worker for stealing his money, changing his reservation. The unnamed Holiday Inn worker in the now-viral video has become the center of a racial debate after it was framed as white versus black issue by self-proclaimed race baiter Tariq Nasheed. The employee framed the situation in a different light, posting on Reddit that he suffers from mental illness, prompting GoFundMe support as well as hundreds of posts offering solidarity.
