Not the same at all. It would be more like the mechanic smashing up the mechanic shop -- Not other people's belongings.
The lobby belongs to the Travelodge not the construction company.
Sorry but this is wrong. The construction worker was wrong. If you’re not being paid take it through legal channels and the court system or government agency.
I had plenty of people who stiffed me and i didn’t wreck their house

Well of course he was wrong. I'm not justifying what he did. It's destruction of property, and can be seen as a myriad of other criminal charges as well.

Apparently he's not the only one not paid, many others too. This guy now has a go fund me to help pay his legal fees. I'm sure he's done more damage then the amount he was owed.

Apparently construction workers not getting paid happens quite a bit in this area, not just the one company. Per the guy who started the GoFundMe page (currently at $6200) for him:
“The person who launched the campaign says the man in question, who has already been identified but not named, will be the "silent beneficiary" of all funds raised and that he is not only a "deserves huge respect and he’s a real gent who has stuck up for himself, his income and many in the building industry," as building workers going unpaid for services rendered is evidently a huge issue in the area.”
If he’s been doing construction in this area for awhile, it’s possible this has happened to him more than once, and he just had enough.
I think in the end the guy just might be a hero, if it prompts someone with authority to look at the employment practices of these companies.
I might have a little sympathy for the man if he had bulldozed the offices of his employer. But Travelodge had nothing to do with this wage dispute; they are an innocent victim of this rampage. What's more, his reckless disregard for the safety of his coworkers (as seen by him risking damage to the structural support beams, while others were inside the building) should erase any "hero" image of him.
And another thing: how is it that the police didn't show up when this guy was apparently doing his thing for 20-30 minutes?
It doesn’t change the fact this area is notorious for companies that don’t pay construction workers. Guessing cops didn’t show cause no one called them (hotel was not open and only construction crew and others working on the building were. Perhaps no one called because they themselves have been stiffed.
The video goes on for over five minutes...nobody thought about stopping him?
