This man has shown extremely high levels of Patience and restraint. I'm jealous.
Haha!! The irony!! Those 2 idiots yelling racial slurs not knowing the brothers being insulted are US CITIZENS!!!
Right so many don’t know puerto ricand are citizens really despicable
@@axlmatute3355 2023 is almost over. At this point in time and in their lives how could you possibly NOT know that. Again I stand firm with IDIOTS!! And plus there’s cameras everywhere. Again IDIOTS. let’s face it each individual has their own prejudices and that’s ok. Just have them in the confines of your own house and keep your mouth shut when in public and treat everyone you encounter nice, politely and with respect. It really isn’t that hard to do..
maybe you did not listren. they are from P.R. so probable no visa, no license, no insurance, no taxes.
@@rls5938 you do know Puerto Rico is a US territory. They are US citizens and have US passports. Do some research next time so you don’t sound stupid. They have SSN’s so they pay the same taxes as me and you..

These people are pathetic, the response from the guys working was great..none at all. Kudos to them, those guys work harder than most and have to take shit like this
Who cares about the lawncare guys? Did you see how gorgeous that reporter was? Wow!
@thomasluby1754 Meh. She just has a good makeup artist and hair stylist.
Such an intelligent man to not react to them shows a lot of intelligence right there
Yeah, intelligent enough to evade deportation for decades and raise a familia of non-citizens.

You know who else said they were just doing there job? NAZI'S. Just saying. Anyway, anyone Familiar with the 1St Amendment? Speech is protected (unless fighting words). Stop responding with Feelings.

Funny thing it’s the whites and blacks that collect the most government assistance. Guess yall feel it’s owed to you mean while Mexican citizens work hard to pay for yall to live here what a privilege
ONE: the media forgets to mention these guys are Puerto Rican, meaning, they are NATURAL BORN CITIZENS.
Two: They were not hanging out in a corner or committing crimes, they were literally working hard. The types of people we want in this country!
Three: Even if they were illegal immigrants and you are against illegal immigration, which I am, you don't treat human beings this way. They deserve respect. At the end of the day, humans created political borders, God didn't. So the least you can do is treat God's people with kindness and decency.
Everyone should know that I mean puertoricans have been american citizens for more than 100 years
Stupid is what stupid does.

Something she probably can’t EVER do.
Love your comment! It's spot on !
@davidblack741 one time for the moron cherry picking small details to win the arguement. He wasn't just recording them, he followed them around. Got directly in their faces while spouting his bigoted nonsense and at one point leaned against their truck and then clutched his pearls when the guy told him to get off of it. If one of them had dropped him and slapped his silly bitch for being all up on them like that you'd be calling for them to be deported. It's not about the recording or free speech, it's about the harassment and invasion of personal space. Maybe watch the whole video. Now get back to "auditing" libraries and harassing public workers.
Someone drop the address in the comments. Thanks
@davidblack741 And I am sure all the bigots and xenophobes are glad you are defending them.
@davidblack741 I'm not the one defending them in a RUclips comments section, but you do you. Keep coping.
The way the landscaper silently ignored them not reacting at all........ It was like a slap on their faces😂😂😂😂
It was like "" hey, shout and yell all you want, I care two hoots ""
They wanted a fight
It's not the noise that was bothering them. It was the color of their skin. 😮 Muchas gracias, J. Martin. Ustedes son buena jente. 🙏
They have never liked us
Unsurprisingly to anyone, when the police showed up, they said there was "nothing they could do," knowing dam* well that if the roles were reversed and these men had treated this couple the way they treated them, they would have been arrested immediately. As usual, once the video went viral, all of a sudden, the police CAN do something, and they were arrested. Just racism on top of racism...disgusting. In true Karen and Ken form, they now want to play the victims and let everyone know how hard/scary this has been for THEM.
It is very scary when you reach the FO part of FAFO.
@@99Noodles I researched further, and like I said, once the video went viral and public pressure built up, they were arrested.
He handled that really well....
I can't believe this is news worthy....Waaa. you all need to grow the F up!! imho...
There's nothing like a couple who emphasizes ignorance with obnoxious verbiage.
Puerto Ricans are Americans!!!! That couple should be forced to apologize! I can think of other things I'd want but they will be protected
It doesn’t matter. I’m American and I guarantee those inbred bigots would say the same to me .
The good thing about freedom of speech is it lets you know who the A-holes are. You can't force anyone to apologize. This is America not some comi country. Let em make jerks out of themselves.
@@Diggerdog2nd"freedom of speech" does not protect the speaker when it's harassment. In fact, there are many scenarios where speech is rightfully limited, and that doesn't make us "comi's", whatever that is.
@@Diggerdog2nddamn right
@@Diggerdog2nd Thank you for telling me you have 2% functional brain cells
No VISA, but I have a MasterCard. 🤣
People from Puerto Rico , Alaska Hawaii ,American Samoa , Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands are all Americans ! But I don't care where you were born, no one should be treated this way. Every DNA test starts your ancestral Journey in Africa, so we are all decedents of the same immigrates, that have spread all over the World for a better life. So we are all related. There are too many people in this world just like these people , full of hate of their fellow man, they are miserable people that can't wait to put it on other's. This is abuse, and they should be punished by the law. But even if they aren't they can't escape Karma. I just wanted to add an update ! So there is no confusion, On the 1st Amendment as regards to this interaction. Connecticut Karen Couple Arrested After Harassing Landscapers By Demanding Their Visas On Video. 63-year-old Robert Shaw and his girlfriend, 58-year-old Sherri Bourgeois-Williams, of Middletown, Connecticut arrested, claiming they were drunk at the time!
🤣😆🤣😆🤣 Alaska and Hawaii? They are states, you more on. Who would question ones citizenship if they are from Alaska or Hawaii, or any one of the other 50 states? 😝😝😝😆😆😆I can understand if some Americans are unaware that Guam or American Samoa, for example, are US territories but not Alaska and Hawaii. Maybe you need to check your own, moronic thinking?
Ever heard of the 1st Amendment in Our Constitution? Hate Speech is protected under the Constitution 🇺🇲 If you support Americans you should support the Constitution 👍 Just because it offends you doesn't mean someone can't say it🇺🇲
@@richkline5087 I know all about the 1st Amendment.but historical expressions of hate-with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, or alarm, can also be charged with aggravated harassment. And that is a crime ! This meets that criteria !
@@richkline5087hate speech is absolutely not protected speech you fucking dipshit
@@sandramolina5068 so you give the definition of aggravated harassment which changes per Jurisdiction. You say you're familiar with the 1st amendment but failed to refer to it. Were there fighting words? They're not protected but none said. Don't give (D)efinitions of crimes that weren't committed. Also, remember in America we also have the Presumption of Innocence. Bet you think that's a constitutional right 🙄 Nope, Case Law. 6th amendment implies it.
Amazing restraint. Shame on them! Absolutely disgraceful. They should be arrested on hate charges
Please Sir do not let those idiots be any representation of the rest of us good, respectful, and accepting Americans. Ron White "You can't fix stupid"
That's typical white folks. They've been this way since the beginning of this country towards everyone.

Facts, but above all you’re a human and don’t deserve to be treated less than that
You are a champion. God Bless you.
so sad at that age people are still ignorant. imagine them when they were younger..
Please give an update on this story when it is available.
What state is this middle town RI?
Landscaper dude is a Saint. I would've stomped Gargamels kneecap every time he came up in my face
When Jesus commands His disciples to go to the people of Israel announcing that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 10:7), He gives them a warning and some advice: “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matt. 10:16).
@davidblack741 he came at him speaking racial and aggressive. I would've feared for my life and bully footed his azz legally 😉
@davidblack741 ok I'm sorry. I'll try and explain it a little clearer because I didn't know you were a slow adult. I don't care about what is hate speech. What I SAID... was that when the man was talking hostile (Free speech or not) that can justifiably be taken as a threat physical threat while running up to you invading your personal space. You can LEGALLY defend yourself as he comes up to you. That's why I said, if I were in his situation, I would've molly whopped that guys @ss. Just like I feel like doing to you but I wouldn't hurt a slow adult. You have G.E.D. written ALLLL over you
Wow fitch..you would commit an act of violence because someone hurt your feelings?
@@alienprepper5918 I'm a man bro what do you think?
Aren't Puerto Ricans automatically citizens 😅
Puerto Rico is American soil. So sad.
Well free advertising for him so thats nice!
Darn sight more self control than I'd have in that situation
It's quite sad they don't know PR is a part of the USA. Ignorance comes in all forms!! Trust as an Afro-Latina I've heard worse! 🇵🇷🇯🇲!!
Pity the ignorance of RACISM
It's nothing in comparison than what is done against the Whites.
Sure landscaping noise is annoying but your neighbors hired them and people have hired landscapers forever. These people make me sick.
One would think that this type of people are dying out along with their bigoted views, but they raised kids and have instilled this philosophy in them as well. The sweetest part in all this is that the two landscapers are U.S. citizens and don't need a God damn visa.
Dear God i Pray That You Forgive the Hatred & Ignorance of Humanity
No matter how ignorant or racist the Geriatric Karen & Kevin want to be, they cant be charge for what they say.
They can on the other hand, look into harassment and maybe even a protection order that would basically keep them in the house, everytime they are in the neighborhood for work.
I hope this brings a ton of business to Mr. Martin and this helps his business grow exponentially.
Silence is key
If those two had kids I couldn't imagine them ever visiting. More like, running away from home at age 13.
Where is the video if the police arresting the crazies?
If there were no video, it could have been their word against theirs.
Oh sweet America what has become of our sweet country full of hatred and disrespectful shame shame on us .
🤔…This has ALWAYS been good ol Merica’
Lmao talk about barking up the wrong tree 🇵🇷
1:30 welp… time to bleach my eyes😃
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. They are Americans.
Now they get death threats and are afraid to get out of the house lol I love the internet for that 😂
If you see something, film it, especially the Karens of the world.
Wow….well, look at the bright side they looked old and in bad health, probably won’t be much longer anyone will have to deal with them. Here’s to hoping.😊
when they act tough but pull out a camera
0:02 no speaky ingi 😂😂
A day in the life of many hispanics in this country.
Puerto Ricans are Americans!
I have friends who are landscapers and tree trimmers, it's hard work and sometimes dangerous depending on the job.
I don’t believe they even had to talk with the neighbors. They should have just told them to speak with their client and continue working.
Congratulations to those two. They made the 5 o'clock news. They're famous!
Evil and Mean.
"Try landscaping in a small town"
I just don’t understand why adults would act like this. No sympathy or morals, whats so ever.
No speaky ingy? Nice one Grandma 😒
The cops should get investigated, and I don't mean by themselves.
#standwithkedricktheheadtrip
A victim was forced back into a group home because the abusers track the victims' phones, now a crooked cop rapes her for trying to escape the group home. Andrew Lindberg rapes her.
The cops apparently have the highest rate of domestic violence of any "profession".
I (Kedrick the Head Trip ) was subjected to retaliation twice for calling out abusers who tracked a woman's phone to force her back into a group home.
Out of respect for the victim, I won't say her name. The abuse at Gilead Community "Services" is so severe, a woman was forced back there by the predators who tracked her phone. I risked my life to protect her from the police. If not, they would've dragged her into an ambulance. I know she would never consent to any "relationship" with a police officer and that would still be inappropriate even if she claimed to consent. The police are notoriously abusive to women. The abusive staff members allow a crooked cop to exploit an #autistic woman for trying to escape the group home racket and #psychiatry.
#ibelieveher #metoo #metoomovement #ActuallyAutistic #BlueLivesMurder
Note : I deleted posts with the victim's name in them. I'm not about to desist from condemning the abusers.
A predator with blue privilege (sp?) retaliated.
Andrew Lindberg is at least 1 of the crooked cops violating the aforementioned woman. She can't be unaware of the domestic violence by the police. Therefore, she doesn't consent to them touching her in any manner.
The MIddletown police covered their own asses.
If enough ppl see my posts, Lindberg will be brought to justice.
@GileadCommunitySrv
The CEO, Justin Salvio, interrupted me to question my intentions to shift the blame to me when I condemned him for abusing residents; including the one I risked my life to protect. He said some crap about the "clients fleeing from abusive male partners" like he forgot that the aforementioned woman fled from a group home again and sought my help escaping the group home racket. I didn't abuse her, the staff members at the group home abused her.
The victim would never willingly side with the predators who track her phone to abduct her and force her back into thr group home racket. They won't let her tell the truth, and neither will Lindberg.

Tell them Puerto Ricans have citizenship! They should be mad at us government for controlling Puerto Rico 😂
The U.S. doesn't control Puerto Rico, they have their own government. but the country does benefit from being associated with America. Still, I can't figure out why they can vote in our elections & not be a state. I'd welcome them as the 51 state instead of pretending they really are totally independent.
You should be aware that Puerto Rico has the Freedom of Speech because of America. Therefore, Americans have the 1st Amendment which protect Speech, citizens of Puerto Rico should know this. You can FEEL however you want but your FEELINGS don't Trump our Constitutional Rights 🇺🇲

Trash comes in all colors. When I was a kid, I was told that sticks and stones ect... What happened to America? Freedom of speech is just that. Granted these 2 idiots are abusing it but who cares about words. Words are nothing when you have self worth. Camera guy has self worth. America needs to stop nit picking at stupid shit like words and come together as family and embrace one another.
“Very disturbing” is knowing that they have not been charged of anything or have not been held responsible for anything.
How would they be charged for free speech. You realize it's legal to be a jerk, right?
@@alistairproductions Updating my comment, both were arrested, charged and released on bail. There is a huge difference between free speech and racism and xenophobia, but unfortunately intellectually limited people (like this couple in the video and some people commenting) cannot distinguish between one and the other.

Why ?There isn't when the races are reversed. Matter of fact there isn't any charges brought against them nor are they arrested either.

Wish they'd paid attention to the actual problems in America the fentanyl crisis that is going on today and you worried about this crap
My EYES!! 1:30 👀🙄
Just to put it out there, Puerto Ricans are Americans citizens. Puerto Rico is a United States territory, you do not need a passport to travel there. I personally know plenty of Puerto Ricans, many are Christians and veterans of most of U.S. wars. Puerto Rico's government is very leftist though.
Puerto Ricans have been American citizens for more than 100 years, the fact that there are people who do not know it at this point is shameful.
I heard no racial tirade..just someone losing their temper..big deal. Btw, the reporter should learn to pronounce the "T" in MarTin... failure of education system 😅..
Blue State 💩
Puerto Rico people are US Citizens, and the official language is both, Spanish and English. It’s supposed to be English, but USA was unable to fully incorporate their crappy language fully as official and only language.
