metaphor!
My point was the total lack of concern by the *guards* - (the video did not show the rest of the attackers) - so had to wonder why they were behaving like spectators - rather than uniformed security personnel.
apologies for being obtuse.
My guess is that the uniform was about as deep as their authority went. Their rules of engagement might have prevented them from doing any more than yelling at the thugs, and manhood or not, you’re going to think twice when you’re outnumbered, unarmed and probably warned off getting physical with people.
There should have been real cops there, not just “security.”
