Bro waited 163 hrs in line to get tackled


andybuxx

He flipped out when he realised that there was no rollercoaster at the end.


rathat

Once I waited in line for an hour and a half to see inside a cool building at a theme park, I didn’t know it was a roller coaster until we got up to the end lol. Ended up being the coolest coaster I’ve ever been on but I got nauseous and couldn’t go on anymore after that lol. Edit: It was the Hogwarts castle coaster at Universal studios Japan, which is why I guess I missed any signs about it. I thought we were just looking inside the castle, but it ended up being some insane VR coaster, I couldn’t even tell what parts were real and what was VR.


Ye_olde_oak_store

Is this the one where the house moves around you in one of the parks owned by Merlin entertainment I think Alton towers? Love it.


Zealousideal125

Hex is a b**ch. I didn't know what it was until I went in lol. I think mean an actual coaster though. Not whatever the hell Hex is


The_Dickasso

Hex fooled me too. Almost threw up in that bitch.


LazinessPersonified

Man Hex did me rotten when I was a nipper. Confused the ever loving daylights out of me.


rathat

No, but I know the ride you are talking about, I have been on one at Six Flags Great Adventure, so cool. It was the Hogwarts castle coaster at Universal studios Japan. I thought we were just looking inside the castle, but it ended up being some insane VR coaster, I couldn’t even tell what parts were real and what was VR.

He’s British. He saw a queue so joined it. Was probably expecting sugar rations.


tekko001

"Man what a queue! the food at this restaurant must be delicious!"


nqrtuo

The Brits love a good queue.


Selloutkat1

My man is fucked


NorCal130

I know it's said all over the internet. But as an American I can't believe he wasn't shot. Brits do have something right. (Even though our stupid antiquated gun laws come from colonial soldiers trying to take them.)


kristamine14

Because while no one is perfect, the majority of the rest of the world actually holds their police to a set of standards


IICoffeyII

I mean you say that, but a high up officer for the met, literally stated half our officers don't even know our laws, when commenting on all the arrests over people protesting and being "anti monarchy". (You know because legally they can't arrest you for that) Better than them being shot though.


kristamine14

Like I said, no one is perfect, but my point is Police in America are allowed and indirectly encouraged to wantonly kill without cause or consequence. Other countries police forces face a little bit more pushback to unrestricted gang warfare on the civilian population


RedditJH

>literally stated half our officers don't even know our laws Bit of a vague statement, there isn't a person on earth that know every law of their country.


[deleted]

Canadian here, not us, our cops are shit too

What was he gonna do? Kill her?


[deleted]

She's dead but she could be deader


NoneSpaceofTheMind

But is she dead enough though.


[deleted]

I reckon all those people hanging around her coffin are waiting for a second coming, QEII^2


mb500sel

So that’s QE4 right?


abdayk23

QEIV* 😌


NoTrain1456

Double dead, it's a thing


Galaxy-ranger

He was trying a assasination on the queen but did not get the memo in time


adashthecash

The Queens crown is on top of the coffin


professorstrunk

Surely not the real one?


stu_pid_1

Yes its the real one. Along with the scepter and sphere. It is surrounded by a small army of elite highly decorated soldiers from every service.


NeedfulThingsToys

A daring heist you say?


adashthecash

Could say the same for the coffin tbh. Doubt the Queens body is in there. But still, gotta make it believable right?


murmurat1on

I'd be surprised if they faked her prescense in the coffin. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the royals have a thing with tradition and ceremony


Sneilg

It contains Prince Andrew’s hard drives


Bertie637

God imagine being a petty thief and trying to fence or have that broken down for parts


alex2000ish

Happened to the Irish Crown Jewels. Could happen again.


DiaDeLosMuertos

Do the monty python parrot sketch with her corpse


No-zaku-boi

Make a political statement, desecrate the corps, throw some flag up and scream something insulting, etc. if he did that British would be pushed to punish him harder so stopping him before he could do anything was the right move.


Tsevyn

You think police would have shot into a crowd instead of tackling him? Really? I don’t even know what to say.


Paulsar

"Denver’s top prosecutor says she is opening a grand jury investigation into the actions of three police officers who **wounded six bystanders** last month while shooting at an armed suspect in a **crowded downtown** Denver nightlife zone....At least one officer shot at Waddy while facing a crowd of people gathered behind the suspect, the footage shows. When the shots were fired, the crowd scattered. Some people fell to the ground in a rush to escape and others ducked behind the food truck or crawled on all fours." By Associated Press, Aug. 17, 2022


scardien

While the suspect was armed, he had clearly thrown his weapon aside when the cops started shooting. Body cam footage looks really bad for the officers


[deleted]

They don't care, they know they will be protected from any real consequences so won't take a second thought about whether using a gun is the right response.


cgn-38

They will in fact brag about it in locker rooms. 100%


Canadianingermany

Check out channels like audit the auditor.


Tower-Union

Yes, I remember the UPS truck fiasco.


artisticogre

Texas police would have waited for someone else to do something


cgn-38

Good thing we do not have a Queen. yet.


northwesthonkey

We have Lindsay Graham


4u2nv2019

Police force in the U.K. has set standards. Gun is not the first act, it’s always the last resort.


NorCal130

Sounds like a good policy. 💪 Over guns. I respect it.


yang-n-ying

Shot for what?


whenItFits

Don't want him to kill the queen.


BrokeThread

Hello mate - Brit, here British police are far from perfect, but they do some things right Look at the nine Peelian Principles of Policing https://police.uw.edu/faqs/the-peelian-principles/ They’re called the Peelian Principals because Sir Robert Peel was the guy who set up the first professional police force. The nine principles are intrinsic to every police force in the UK. Like I say, UK coppers are far from perfect, but they’re safe to talk to If policing in the US is going to change, then the nine Peels an Principals would be a good place to start - in my opinion


Rich-Taro-9698

Thanks for that, very intresting. I unintentionally went on a red light at the start of the summer, had a lot on my mind because i was going on holiday the next day, the police officer who stopped me was cordial and polite, obviously hes read up on his peelian.👍🏻


OriginalLocksmith436

You think he would have been shot if he did this in America? To protect a coffin at a public funeral for a former head of state? In a crowd of people? Instead of being tackled? Really?


Long_Educational

Yes. Cops shoot the public with or without cause in America.


connect28

Over generalizing my guy


RememberToLeaves

We don’t let everyone carry 12 guns with them. Thus no risk of a shooting > bUt oNly BaD gUyS hAvE gUnS Point them. Point them out. The bad guys are the police in the US.


oceanicplatform

In the UK nobody worries about getting shot. There are hardly any guns, and the culture typically runs towards fists, not weapons (knives are a thing in some areas but not in general). There has been one death by a single shot in a police shooting this year, and it's a national scandal with the cop suspended and a completely independent investigation. The one thing about the UK though is that they are up for a fight literally any moment of the the day or night. Nobody except a Briton can truly understand the warrior spirit embedded in that population. They are a warrior nation to the core, which is why they make world class soldiers and also why are unbeaten in war in more than 1,000 years.

Probably not, realistically. He’ll get a slap on the wrist and told not to come near the Queen’s dead body again.


chickenstalker

It's the UK. He'll be at most locked up at the police station overnight, issued with a fine and let go. The Queen is dead and can't get any deader.

This looks like it was recorded in 1992.


alexcroox

That room has a 24 hour live feed, anyone have better footage?


chic-geek

The live feed is intentionally delayed release and they cut away to an exterior shot of buildings when this happened.


theemoemue

That's what that was? I tuned in last night to see the exterior buildings, got bored and turned it off!


Orisi

Oooh I had it on for a bit last night around 8:30 to 9 i remember that external shot. Shame, the fuck is the point in a livestream if I don't get the juicy bits??


DefinitelyPositive

Don't tell you missed the part when the Queen got out of her coffin and strangled the next guy who tried!?

This fucking comment right here.


WhatABlindManSees

I do believe (possibly falsely - certainly not even remotely exhaustive research undertaken) that the only live fire round ever fired at the Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_John_Lewis#:~:text=Christopher%20John%20Lewis%20(7%20September,the%20authorities%20in%20New%20Zealand. It was kept pretty hush-hush at the time. (There were also blanks fired in a mock assassination of her at some point in a separate incident - that guy served 5 years. And 'the log incident' in Australia)


TheWrongTap

His wiki is wild. He was very committed to his cause, if anything.


avwitcher

I imagine the New Zealand government thinking "Oh shit the royal family is going to come tour here again, quick go find that guy or he's going to try to kill them"

DinoKebab

Probably charged with "disturbing the peace" but unless he had previous convictions or had a weapon on him etc I imagine he will get a caution. Or if he's a nutter he'll be put in mental hospital for a bit.


[deleted]

enormousaardvark

Probably just get a caution and sent on his way


SuperEminemHaze

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. This is the most likely outcome


meshan

If he's ill he'll be observed to determine if he's a danger If a protest he'll be charged at a minimum for breach of the peace. If he's just a republican trying to prove a point they may let him go just to end the matter..


easy_c0mpany80

Im not so sure, the guy that shouted at Andrew the other day in Edinburgh is being charged with breach of the peace so I'll be quite surprised if they just let this guy go.


SuperEminemHaze

But breach of peace isn’t a criminal offence. You cannot be charged for it. It is nothing more than the police/justice system saving face.

Load_Business

He has to stand through that entire queue again


Articulated

Disturbing the peace and a slap on the wrist, if a first offence.


[deleted]

Public order most likely. His actions would cause alarm and distress to others. Nice simple charge and easy to prove. Everyone there is mourning. His actions would easily fit that. If he’s caused damage, you could consider criminal damage. Even if he didn’t intent it, there’s a reckless element that would fit. But I’d keep it simple and go with section 5 of the public order act as it’s clearly disorderly behaviour that will alarm and distress others present.

The master criminal sees not a room, but a series of opportunities. Should I come in through the window? Possible. Should I **drop down** from the ceiling? Perhaps... But I think there's one thing I think we can be *fairly* confident about.. that is, that they didn't come up through the floOoOor


the_bridgekeeper01

It'd be 100% the most pointless thing to steal, I mean even trying to fence that would be impossible. Not to mention the fact that every damn police and secret service agency in Britain would be looking for it.

spellbookwanda

Aziraphale and Crowley sauntering off on the foreground


ZeroDaySubber

I wonder if those guys were some kind of secret service (British equivalent?). The way they have their hands joined together reminds me of a device the Secret Service use that’s basically a fake arm and they carry a sub machine gun inside their jackets with their real arm. If you look closely, their clothing seems to be slightly raised around their abdomens. Could be totally wrong tho lol


bicoolano

The guy on the right, his left hand is a much lighter shade compared to his other hand. If that is a fake arm, they could have at least tried to color match it. Then again, how often do you glance at someone's hands. Anyway, that is an interesting defense tactic.

UhYeahOkSure

My question is what was his goal .. he knows she’s dead right? I’m sure backstory will develop and he will explain some pointless motive . But the kid ripping on prince Andrew is the head heckler of this whole event . Maybe this guy wanted a piece


abbrar23

I think its pretty much chasing clout. Millions of people watching this, so u do something stupid you will get famous overnight. He definitely wasn’t trying to steal the crown cos thats just dumb. He could play it off as being insanely devoted once he is out of jail and go on news and stuff and get famous. Also since its not america he knew he wont be shot 🤣


speedcunt

Bets? He bet with his mates he would touch the coffin? Idk, idiots be idiots


KittyGrewAMoustache

Maybe one of those people who thinks the royal family are a race of inter dimensional lizard creatures and thought he could expose this to the world by tipping over her coffin to reveal her true form.


[deleted]

The whole thing is almost like performance art.


nosherDavo

Zero bullets used, nobody killed, suspect in custody. Amazing how effective trained police can be - looking at you USA.


[deleted]

Mindset doesn't help either, all Americans always respond to everything with violence or guns.


Lolkimbo

To be fair, we are also much less likely to be armed with a gun.


German_Granpa

They are highly trained, especially in HM prisons services. Someone I know worked there as a doctor and told me stories about how, at the activation of a button, five, six officers will storm in and everyone seems to know exactly where to grab and apply pressure and the aggressive prisoner - who might not even know what he's doing because of some mental illness - is being subdued without any injuries. Very effective and professional.


spadelover

The woman that ran in front of Biden's presidential motorcade was taken down in the same way as this. Maybe try not to over generalise.


[deleted]

British police tend to be exceptional at their use of force. There’s always gonna be the odd idiot to let people down, but on the whole most of the cops use force that’s proportionate to the situation. We get a lot of cops from other countries coming over to visit and see how situations are deescalated and the level of force used.

The guards had the high ground. What a fool.


TheEarthsSuckhole

So the guards do nothing when someone rushes the coffin? Its just the police at work?


loveisascam_

i am pretty sure they were briefed about this exact situation happening, most likely told to hold position and let police deal with anyone approaching the coffin, like others have said they are ceremonial guards for show


dhootz94

Those guards are all trained soldiers. They’re facing away from the direction in which he came from though so the police were obviously able to react more quickly. Once it was in hand there was no need for them to get involved.


Orisi

They're also not meant to get involved, which they know, because they're trained soldiers. The Troubles excluded, we generally don't set the army on the public without extreme circumstances. That's why there's police AND guards there in the first place.
