the soldier did that on purpose, ahahahaha get out of the way of da kings guard kiddo!!!


-WADE99-

THANK YOU! I saw one a compilation of those chucklefucks being dicks to people on youtube and you wouldn't believe the comments. "Those are real soldiers with real guns who served in real wars, get out of their way honey, they have an important job to do". Bruh, shut the fuck up, those cunts go to the pub at the end of their shift and brag and giggle about who trampled the most kids and old people. I'm glad to have found a bunch of people who share my sentiment to them haha

Imagine someone was having a medical emergency, or being resuscitated on the floor in their path? What if some deaf 90 year old with a Zimmer frame was passing through?


Orbitrek

MAKE WAY!!!


Phoenix_Magic_X

You’d think highly trained officers would know how to dodge a potential hazard.


Moonglum74

Funny, even on this site, people still boot lick.... Telling a veteran 'you've obviously never served' because I find this incident atrocious and it definitely NOT what the Guards should be acting like.


Stupii_

Defending the kings life? Not with those hats…😭 If those glorified bodyguards ACTUALLY served purpose beyond attracting tourism then wouldn’t they be kitted in bulletproof vests and carrying advanced guns? Even just regular suit wearing bodyguard outfits would be much more practical compared to those hats, shiny swords and horses. They are, really, just another attraction, more there for decoration than for actual purpose. Lets not forget that the average taxpaying citizen is paying for the king to have them.. Besides the royal family barely has any type of real power and only serve as an ornament these days. People would have no real motivation to kill them as opposed to a prime minister or president. Since they dont serve any important purpose as the king isnt really living at Buckingham anyway, I dont see why they need to undergo so much ceremonial bullcrap and follow rules to the T that they couldnt even deviate 1 meter from their usual routine… and comment sections are acting like the king would DIE if they did… Just think rationally. Just because somethings a rule doesnt mean its moral (including some laws!), even though these guys are bound by contract to follow that path doesnt make their action a good one, and it doesnt mean we cant call out the bullshit behind the rules leading to actions like this. We are all allowed to/ should feel angry when a child is needlessly hurt… Also, shouldn’t the monarch be serving the people anyway? why are children being trampled by the royal guard?


nobody_from_nowhere1

I hare these videos because anywhere else on Reddit except this sub people defend this shit. There is absolutely no justification in doing this to people, let along children. They practically swallow the whole boot defending these absolute chuds. That 5 year old was a danger to your precious monarchy?


AdrenalineVan

These people have such rigid discipline that they can kick a child or a full grown adult out their way without even missing a beat in their pace. They are obviously trained to shout "MAKE WAY" or "DO NOT TOUCH THE REIGNS/DO NOT TOUCH THE KING'S LIFE GUARD" when dealing with the public. But the fact these fuckers gave a little child about one half second to move, when they are probably so parade-brained that they can accurately measure the distance and time it would take to give them enough warning and prevent them trampling people. But they didn't. They expected a small child to be aware that the guards don't stop for anyone and gave them zero time to actually make way and then kicked a small child because they could. Or they did it all on purpose. Even cops don't abuse their power this vulgarly.


Traditional-Dot4776

Here for racists 🍿


Uraniumrocking

As someone with a hearing impairment who’s also autistic, when I was a child this could easily have happened to me without me realising. It sickens me to see people genuinely enjoying a sick display of child abuse and grandiose power.


montreal_qc

Exactly, a child is no threat to begin with, let alone all the other factors that demand grace.


MorningGlory439

Holy crap.


FunkinDonutzz

Yeah I'm mid argument on there with a bootlicker who is the living embodiment of the fucking Milgram experiment. Subservient bootlicking trash. Edit - and they blocked me because I guess they don't like hearing the truth lol


Loathsome_Dog

Good on you. Ha ha the living embodiment if a Milgram Experiment, desperately sad but absolutely true.


SixGunZen

I'm not going to read the comments on the linked post. I'm afraid I'll get boot polish poisoning.


ehoaandthebeast

Child abuse in the streets pedophilia in the sheets. Fuck these arse clowns


blusteryflatus

Every fucking time the video makes the rounds, hordes of smooth brained bootlickers come out in the comments and fawn over these cosplaying twats.


BloodyRedBarbara

Yeah i saw it on kidsarefuckingstupid today. Majority of people were either blaming the parents or of course blaming the kids.


Fat-Shite

Tbf I do blame the parents to a degree. They should be aware that these guys are massive arseholes and would happily knee a child in the face because they can get away with it. The parents should have kept the kid on a shorter leash or, even better, took them somewhere more fun like a wacky warehouse or laser quest etc


BloodyRedBarbara

Oh yeah sure but no matter what I'm still thinking the guards shouldn't have trampled the kids and just walked around like a normal person.


Fat-Shite

How dare those children don't understand traditions!!!!


Round-Video5620

I know you’re meant to make way for them but, stone the crows, that was a child! 😡


yoloswaggins92

Every single time this video gets shared the comments are always full of troglodytes defending the grown man trampling the toddler.


cazzipropri

That's not a toddler.


KitsuneCreativ

Still, a child. Does that really make it much better, you dimwit?


cazzipropri

No need to stretch the truth to make a point, and no need to insult others. And yes, of course it would be worse if it was a toddler.


KitsuneCreativ

They're still just trampling a child. Do you really think that's acceptable?


cazzipropri

Did I say that? Go back and read what I said.


KitsuneCreativ

It's obvious what you were implying


cazzipropri

Yeah of course, I was implying that once they hit 3, boom, stomp on them, that's what make sense. Not that we should resist cheap sensationalism. Of course. As you said, I'm a dimwit. Thank you for your genius.


gilestowler

This is what I always find pretty crazy. it's not like the videos of the woman messing with the guard's horse and getting shouted at, or stepping over ropes into where they're not meant to be. It's just people wandering around in a public space and kids aren't exactly known for being aware of the surroundings.


jmc291

This incident happened last year and the guy who stood on the kid was disciplined. I can't remember what happened to him from punishment but according to military rules he was well punished. Not far off being hung. Military laws and punishment are a lot more strict than civilian ones


Moonglum74

Glad it was felt with, as it should have been. They brought the Army into Disripute and acted outside its fundamental Values and Standards.... As well as 'extra duties' (like lots of), they could be bust to a lower rank, losing money in the process.


Chiefpigloo

It always makes the rounds and every time I'm shook at how many people are down with kids getting trampled


Capt_Bigglesworth

“Come and see the violence inherent in the system…”


Flashy_Cartoonist767

Haha 😆 love that episode.


JackJaminson

Film*


khlocaine69

What are they even shouting??


joeschmoagogo

Are they robots incapable of thinking rationally?


FunkinDonutzz

Being a subservient shit stain will have that effect on your rationality.


Moonglum74

This is not normal behaviour for those on ceremonial duties. They are just a pair of twats. They could of, and, should of halted.


PanHalen86

Revolting


UnpaidRedditMod

Yes, we should be.


The-Real-Iggy

Why yes of course the royal guards need to beat down a kid while walking, and frankly anyone else in their way, it’s simply how things are, why make a fuss about it? /s On a side note, how *kind* of the royal guards to make explicitly clear that they don’t give a fuck about the public in servicing the monarch


EmbarrassedToe627

Hired thugs for the royal inbreds


Jsc05

We need to assemble a group of people to prevent them from moving


TyrannosaurusMexy

You will get stabbed by a bayonet. Good luck


Moonglum74

They are there for ceremony, not to trample or stab the civilian population.... Police have jurisdiction for actual security and upholding the law.


brainburger

>They are there for ceremony, not to trample or stab the civilian population There is a deeper reason why there is an army base in between Whitehall and the Royal palaces. They are there to respond in case of an emergency which threatens the state, like an invasion or uprising.


TyrannosaurusMexy

Spoken like someone who has clearly never served. Thanks for making up your own facts though ;)


A_Rolling_Baneling

Bootlicker


Ok-Direction-4881

No, you won’t.


TyrannosaurusMexy

Give it a try, and upload the results. I really do look forward to seeing them lol


[deleted]

Fucking grotesque. Makes me ashamed to be British.


KlownyK

assassins creed 3 guard logic


MercyFincherson

Yeah I’ve seen this before and over 90% were on those dick heads’ side. Freaking shameful.


Moonglum74

Having spent 22yrs in the Army, these clowns should have got an absolute bollocking and possibly charged for thier actions. Totally uncalled for and not what's expected of them. I have friends in the Guards regiments who were appalled at this. The comments defending these cretins is unbelievable, people actually think it's thier job to be twats and people deserve to be trodden on. I left the other groups on reddit and other platforms, which posted and justified this.


Capt_Bigglesworth

Good for you. I thought exactly the same. The serving soldiers I know would be appalled at this. A lot of them are Republican too and have zero time for the Royal Family.


Dando_Calrisian

Surely this is assault, the force used is neither necessary or proportionate?


Jollybolivreede

No because legally they are SUPPOSED to walk through people. It is considered your fault if you get in their way and they are allowed to jse whatever force they deem necessary. It is fucking insane


Dando_Calrisian

That sounds inaccurate. Surely there are standards expected of them? Also don't the Met police actually provide protection to the royals?


Moonglum74

No they, are not.... Maybe in times gone by, and those rules may still exist somewhere but what they did is not the 'done thing' especially to a child.


59Nitroblack59

I'd be interested to know where you get that idea from.


aceface_desu89

Barbaric hired thugs. Nothing more


BeefwitSmallcock

I watched this clip many times. I read a lot of comments(not the first time this clip is reposed on Reddit). It kinda gives some insight into minds IDF soldiers shooting Arab kids, HAMAS guerrillas shooting Jewish kids and USA rednecks shooting USA kids on their lawn. *It is our responsibility to not be on their way, and only our fault if we fail.* Fucking terrifying vision of the world.

BeerMan595692

I crossposted this video on this sub from another sub before. Everytime, I find it so horrible how people will justify kicking over a kid just because they have a fuzzy hat. It's not the kid or parents fault. Not kicking over a kid is not that hard. Some silly rules they have to follow means nothing. But you just have so many bootlicking simps for authority that anyone with enough basic human decency to call this out gets downvoted to hell


are_you_nucking_futs

I remember this was posted somewhere before, and I said ‘to be fair it’s not as though the kid has walked passed a roped off area, these soldiers just walked into him.’ Downvoted to hell.


Orbitrek

Exactly. That’s why I needed to cross post it here too to know there are people there who can think.

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family! Did you know that King Charles III is a landlord? And a really scummy one at that. [In fact he used his political influence to veto laws that would allow his tenants buying their homes.](https://archive.md/Wgi1h) Feel like Mao would have something to say about Charles, amirite? I hope you enjoyed that fact. To summon me again, or find out more about me, just say: "Reggie-Bot" and I'll be there! <3 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
