    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.

      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?

        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.

      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.

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