No need of that as a soldier. He could have easily marched around her.
If she were standing in the way facing him the push would have been justified.
This was an assault on a women and a battery. It was not justified.
If she had suffered damages, then she would have been entitled to damages. She was an invitee, the public being invited to this location.The fact that she stepped over the rope would only have influenced the amount of damages she would have received as a court award, if she was injured.
This is no laughing matter. If she had landed flat on her face there would have been some big bucks changing hands.The soldier should have been admonished by his C.O., and likely was.
As to the tomb of the unknown soldier in DC,, anyone interfering with that ceremony would be arrested and quietly taken away.If they resisted such arrest then they would be met with the force necessary to make an arrest. An arrest is legal. What this soldier did was not, even in England.
She crossed the line and it was a criminal trespass.
She should have landed on her face. Maybe it would have sunk in that you NEVER cross a LEGAL barrier.
Maybe she thought she was filming a scene for Patriot Games.
I disagree with you on the force issue. It is their country and laws. If they allow it, so be it. If not, go to court and see what happens. In this case no harm, no foul, just someone’s dignity diminished.
You are just dipshit stupid.
Raising a rifle is considered a 'final warning', after which the guardsmen is allowed to detain the person in question.
They are GUARDS - not tourist attractions. Unless she is deaf, wouldn't she have heard him approaching?
Your answer is the reason he should have thrown her to the ground. She ain’t in Kansas, and that Guard was well within his rights. Drag her away, and that would have been a lesson to her.
Nope, that’s not how it works. It was totally justified and she should consider herself lucky that is all he did. He is a soldier. He will not talk to you. He has no obligation to walk around you. She’s lucky he didn’t put her on the ground a point his weapon at her while yelling. They have a job to do and you don’t get in their way. I’ve seen many similar videos, you don’t mess with these guys - another example for all to learn from.
You can’t sue as easily in the UK as here.
Oh please. She made entry into what is considered a restricted area. ergo the rope. No damages and no recourse in any English court. The Queen’s Guard walks ‘around’ no one. Move or get trampled, by man or horse, doesn’t matter. And so it has been for a thousand years.
He gave a verbal warning and a shove. Even after that, the woman stayed on the wrong side of the rope at which point the guard DID step around her.
When you leave the good old United States you have no rights , you live by their rules. Been there done that, a jeep with a 50-cal on either side of the plane . It doesn’t feel good ,thrust me.
