After that video went viral, protesters stood outside of Lloyd Crawford’s business.

    Left out of the conversation: Lloyd drove by TWICE, yelling obscenities and threats. When he walked up, that's why the protestor had his phone recording as a deterrent. Thankfully it worked. Lloyd IS A COWARD, so nothing happened.

    Here we go... the classic playing victim after instigating the incident.
  • @ywalden2971
    Sorry lloyd- you obviously did want to "just talk" to this young protestor. You wanted to push this person out of your town and intimidate. That was your sole purpose.
  • I went ahead and stopped at 30 seconds. Lloyd's body language told me enough. Entitlement and justified in his actions.
  • Lloyd was driving under the influence and, because he was drunk, decided to doxx himself. Glad this guy is getting what he deserves.
  • @Jennny193
    I like how gentle he's speaking trying to make up for the fact thats the polar opposite.
  • Dear Lloyd: Why did you automatically assume the protestor was there to “promote violence”? Your explanation, if you can call it that, makes no sense whatsoever but I’m sure it helps you sleep at night. Shame on you, Lloyd.
  • I feel like I want my finances handled by someone who is a little less impulsive
  • @GregLoughlin
    Makes no sense. Young man exercising his 1A and this triggered Trumper doesnt like his opinion and starts a scene. Period.
  • @mimiclemons9848
    This is disgusting. That man was aggressive from the beginning. He is formulating this story as he goes along. He said he took several minutes to pull his car over and come back to yell at him. He needs to cut this nonsense.
  • @meee212
    If he isn't a grown enough man to ignore someone holding a sign protesting than why on earth would anyone trust him in his job capacity?
  • @terisalo9820
    He didn't want to talk. He wanted to fight! He's the instigator.
  • @bellepierre24
    "Yes I am is racist" words no racists will ever say. It is pointless to ask, actions speak louder than works. Lloyd probably believes what he is saying because such behavior has been normalized. He can have a Black guy at his house and still be racist. One can have a mother and still be a sexist, etc. These aren't mutually exclusive at all.

    East Memphis is a rock’s throw from Germantown. The protestor is not from “out of town.” I’m not from Germantown, but I spend money there all the time. Does Lloyd not want me to spend my money in Germantown? No one owes someone an explanation for standing on a corner, least of all Lloyd.

    As Americans we are allowed to go to any city or town in these United states of America. This guy has racist issues he has to deal with. Own it.
  • @alexraisola5714
    Just another example of “Systemic Racism” pure and simple
  • So as a grown man, I presume with a family and a good life. You were so upset by a random person on the side of the road holding a sign you needed to get out and talk to them. Threaten them, and tell them to leave "your" town as if you are the owner. Yeah, not buying it. Maybe go to therapy or anger management because if you're not racist you clearly have an anger problem.
  • @mobri1130
    Really disappointed that the interviewer didn't challenge him and his bs response. His exact quote from the video was "I want you out of my town." He didn't want to talk. He was being aggressive and trying to intimidate the protester. Honestly this interview was a joke.
