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.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

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.

A wild, baffling overreaction. He could've just waited until the guy came back from his walk and asked him to leave. Jesus Christ.

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

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wow. Today I learned!

[-] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

He works for rich people.

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bfg9k@lemmy.world 11 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
