0:00 [Music] so you guys heard of Red Roof in yes yeah it's like a motel it's a it's a popular chain they are currently facing lawsuits from sex trafficking victims say the hotel chain ignored obvious signs that these women were being trafficked in order to protect its profits because it was like probably in a hooker area and they're like we can't lose our customers it's in the hooker Hot Zone is what they they call it yeah they're like if we tell on all the hookers that means all of our customers are going to be gone exactly exactly isn't it kind of scary though you you pick over money over morals these days a lot of people just so their company can survive in this world not us we open this video saying ████ within the first 35 seconds never compromise who we are I

0:51 didn't know traffickers were such a big fan of Red Roof in apparently it's very cheap $40 night Nationwide or just one location that's getting oh it's a bunch of the there's at least 42 Federal lawsuits underway against the hotel chain in its franchises jeez hundreds of victims are in the process of filing legal action according to attorneys working on their cases maybe that's their Market that they're trying to Target yeah and a really ████ up way underage um victims well it's in a way where people could do short-term stays right it's like yeah they probably make tons of money off that they're like hey let's just keep rolling it let's keep opening up our places in really lower income shady areas where people get trafficked then let's just turn a blind ey families that just want to stay somewhere for a week and ████ imagine you go there you're just like what the ████ nonstop ████ next door apparently they're nice rooms so that's

1:42 good at least there's that hell no blue like that black lighted everywhere bro so some of the victims were underage at the time they accused the company of allowing its rooms to be rented on a grand scale to sex traffickers who forced them into commercial sex work and controlled nearly every aspect of their lives wow shout out red F they claimed the signs of their trafficking were so obvious they could not have been missed by the company their lawsuits are littered with references to malnourish and underage girls and women under the control of pimps who conducted their business in front of hotel staff renting numerous hotel rooms where male customers would came in went night after nightow nobody's saying what's up knew they were probably throwing a money and ████ too like could be maybe the cops that are instead of hiding behind like a sign with the radar gun they should just kick it in hotel parking lots maybe

2:33 legit catch some like real ████ is this considered a motel considered an in and what's the difference between a hotel and a motel Motel are motor hotels to the parking lot right it's facing out and then yeah there's a parking lot and then so it's like you can pull up real quick and then the door is facing out hotel is like a building and it's inside I never knew that now I know what's a hostile a hostile it's for homeless people that think they're traveling the lawsuits also have revealed that a senior Red Roof in employee joked about the presence of pimps and hoes at one of the hotels under his management oh no I bet they see so much they can clearly tell who they are but they're probably just like

3:24 I'm just here to do my job so whatever if they're paying I'm just going to check them in yeah yeah cuz dude imagine having to T A Pimp Like You can't rent here M like what the ████ is going to happen there dude and you're just a guy who just works the front desk and you already saw him beat up some other person you're like ████ do I want to get beat up do I want to get slapped like one of his hoes probably not thinking they're like dude's just ████ doing his homework trying to be a ████ like CNA or something like just doing his ████ nursing schooling trying to get by and like turn out to get smacked yeah yeah and then the pimp comes in Hey listen here Hustler I'm need like about them rooms baby and he started like talking in Rhymes and ████ cuz you know pimps are really smooth with their with their

4:14 wording their word play for sure yeah crazy we got pimps to this day man so according to Steven Batman he's an attorney who's representing close to 1,000 sex trafficking victims in cases involving the Red Roof in he said that the sex trafficking had reached an epidemic level across the the hotel chain estimated the true number of victims to be many in the thousands wow in the many thousands they intentionally ignored the problem of human sex trafficking in its hotels and completely failed to put any meaningful policies and procedures in place instead their focus was on one thing what was it subin money yeah there it is I don't even know if I could tell someone's being sex trafficked or not I bet you could yeah they say malnourished and young girls is usually pretty good tell but if they look like the same kind of like ethnic background don't you go like oh that's a

5:04 family my family is like that probably I don't know a pimp is very very distin you know what they look like leopard print got a big gemstone on their cane yeah yeah yeah or a snake you know leopard print suit they're very loud they wear the Party City pimp costume it's dead giveaway maybe like a pocket watch with a chain yeah driving a Cadillac yeah and there a White Guy smiling yeah party C guy man that's crazy that's pretty scary so like what are some of your guys' favorite hotel chains anybody big double Hotel 6 is probably like hey we dodged a big like woo or their next dude I'm like ████ why Red Roof in when I feel like

5:54 all these motels be doing ████ like this Marriott Hilton's cool Marriott I like marott Mars are cool this old gym we used to work at was well it's in Pasadena and it's by all these like kind of not a chain uh motels oh yeah but they're hell sketch dude and you see like all kinds of funny business going in out like you're seeing um what do they call them tricks people turn to tricks or John's customers that's what they call them you see him walking in and out and you see like these ladies on the street and you're like dude there's and you see cops there every other night oh ████ so or like ambulances so it's like you even from from a couple blocks away you're like oh there's some funny ████ going on over there there's this one page nailed it that's what they look

6:44 like yep clearly when you look for when someone's dressing like that you know it's always white guys being pimps for Halloween it's all bad that's so true you know spinning cane around yo player let me rent the room well and they have their chick dresses the hoe that's the funniest part because they live in such a detached reality that they would never ever exist in a world where they would have to do such a thing like these exist it is solely hilarious and that's my favorite part that's insane like this just in the movies it's not real that's right guys ever watch that cop Channel where they're finding people they like wait for freaking people to pull up asking to prostitute the the detectives dressed as a

7:35 prostitute yeah the sting ones yeah Sting yeah usually at like churches and ████ that's my favorite part there's a one where this guy was out there was a church and this guy's like pulling up and he's a pastor and he's like trying to get a ████ or whatever you're under arrest and he starts crying immediately I think that's why they stopped it because the people that are coming in are actually like people of the community I remember one guy and I think it was was Oklahoma City or St Louis or whatever but all he did was just catch John's like as soon as he gets into the car with a hooker he would pull up and then have a camera in the back seat and he would catch pastors he would catch just you know how they're doing that ████ now with pedals but like independently people are streaming like whatever but this was like early YouTube Days that's what I've been seeing a lot of those I saw everyone's doing that now

8:26 Bradley Martin and stuff they like CGH like some guy that worked at Disney or something like that I was like godamn hey if this channel ever goes to ████ we'll probably just have to do that yeah we'll just catch P I love the on where they're slapping the ████ out of them be hitting him though yeah I saw one yesterday where they CH where they chased a guy out of like a of like a Best Buy cuz he was going to meet up with somebody and they started pushing him across like he was sprinting to the entrance and they kept shoving him he got up and started running again and they caught him they they kept slapping him and his one random black dude was like hey what's going on over here he's like he's a pet he's a Predator he was trying to meet up with a child he's like yo let me get in on this let me get in on this yo let me get it I was like that's that's community community punish my nobody likes pedophiles did

9:16 you see the one did you see the one where the um the the guy same thing he's he's confronting a a pedo or whatever alleged and this white lady comes out of nowhere and she's like I I just want make sure this brown person is is protected and safe oh my God I saw that yeah that was crazy yo she was like pissed she's like I just want to make sure I'm worried for this brown person you're like okay you want to protect the pedophile she was down she yeah she didn't care what the ████ they were saying no she but that's the thing she had no idea what he did and she's over here like I'm just making sure this brown person is protected and I'm just like yo you got to be honest the public defender nobody said that dude we have people like that have people like that here in America that's insane what's with white women right now man they're losing it white women are going nuts right now they're they're

10:07 like not on my watch since Co they're just like like they're they're you're trying to save minorities someone's going to do it you think they're going to do it I don't think so I think they're they're they're doing it the worst ways I think they finally watched some ████ about like what really went down in America and they got shocked and they're like I can't believe I was a part of the problem and it's like ████ we've been dealing with this this ████ and she goes I have to do something about it now because I wasn't doing anything before but it's like so misguided and stupid brother it's like let me go protect a ████ criminal and a pedophile because why you're still being racist cuz you're still ████ just judging them based on their skin color you're not yeah you're still being ████ racist being more racist than you were before yeah and they usually are dude yeah 100%
