A viral video that surfaced out of Leesburg, Georgia has thousands of people upset. Antonio and Felinzay we’re making a routine drop-off for FedEx yesterday when a customer came outside and verbally attacked the two employees as they were walking off.
It was all captured on camera.
Unfortunately these two @FedEx employees from Leesburg, Georgia were fired after this video went viral yesterday. 😔 pic.twitter.com/q1qGrowMdF

Antonio, the person recording the video told his side of the story:
“All we did was deliver his package, he was in the house at the time. It was a quick stop and as soon as we were leaving he ran out his house cursing and threatening us. While we were looking confused we just apologized for being on his yard but he keep going on then kept saying he would whoop our black asses and then he told his wife to call the cops. That’s when he pulled out his phone playing victim and that’s when I recorded. Idk what the police did but I posted this video because we go through racism everyday on that route in Leesburg but he was the first one to actually come up and actually threaten us.”
Unfortunately, the two FedEx employees have been fired.
A GoFundMe has been started to help them during the transition of finding a new place to work.
