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.

[–] theDoctor@lemmy.sdf.org 73 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 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.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 28 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 24 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 13 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

[–] Danc4498@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] 257m@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His mistake was that first look back. I know he was concerned about being tackled, but you need pure unadulterated confidence in situations like that. He had a good strut, but you could tell he was nervous. Had he just owned it, he might have made it all the way down and back.

[–] norbert@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably could've turned it into a deal with someone after it was all over if he'd have just worked it.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Imagine like Lady gaga wearing it on the red carpet

A hero. Not a top tier (or even mid tier) hero, but the spirit is there.

[–] TruTollTroll@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, and this hero was actually wearing a cape too!! Double points!

Awwww.. cries in Mr incredible tears

Not sure if its my impression, but it seems people are looking at it like "yes, I can see it! Masterpiece!"

[–] Tigbitties@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Dude needs to work on his walk.

[–] Waldowal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Looks kind of staged to me. It's just too perfect of a gentle "tackle" and both immediately exit stage-right.
