Serious question: what makes the ‘tackle’ by the security guard NOT assault?

There was no prevention of a crime that would normally warrant force. In most places you have to be asked to leave before it’s trespassing.

That seemed overly aggressive for a first reaction.

That guy clearly wasn't a security guard. He was the Fashion Police.

You know, it was a serious question but I can’t argue with this answer. Case dismissed.

Oh wow, a doctor and a lawyer!? You should be the first person to ever be disbarred for baselessly suing yourself for malpractice and countersuing for harassment. You'll become a legend.

Are you a fartographer? Where can I smell your work?

Upon the easterly wind, my child; at the early dawn when the dew first begins to settle and my doo begins to drop.

I really don't get security guards 😂 they can't possibly make so much money that it's worth escalating a situation like this... What if the guy was a lunatic with a knife under the bag... You really want to die for a fucking fashion show gig?

Jesus Christ just tell the guy to get off the stage and diffuse the situation...

WTF is it with cops and renta cops... Does no-one teach them to try to do things peacefully first?

fyi it is 'defuse', unless you are talking about perfume

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Wow. Today I learned!

They could be talking about aromatherapy tho...

I've learned in the last few years that a sizable percentage of the human population is sitting there lipping their chops waiting, hoping, for their opportunity to be the asshole and hurt someone.

I hate it when uptight people correct other people’s grammar… but I would hate it even more if I said nothing and let you make this mistake in a situation that actually matters, SO:

It’s “defuse the situation”, like defuse a bomb. Common mistake.

Also, good question concerning security guards. I have no idea what their motivation could possibly be.

He could've literally just grab his shoulder and point him off the stage, where he was already going. But fashion is serious business, i get it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

He works for rich people.

That tackle was so over the top and unnecessary that it got me suspecting that the whole thing was staged.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Security wait their whole lives for moments like that. You just gotta go for the touchdown.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah seemed more of an 'okay, very funny, now let's go' thing than a 'MR. FASHION GET DOWN' thing.

Maybe that guard was just bored

Was there more to this video that I didn’t see? I didn’t see any tackle. Just saw the guy getting rushed off the stage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did you watch till the end? It wasn't exactly a tackle but he full on got grabbed and carried off stage.
