No it isn’t.
Didn’t the comment say he flipped the guys hat off? That’s not mouthy.
This I agree with.

Same applies. They’re 15. 15 year olds are often idiots.
Sorry, don’t want to argue about this actually. Adult male slams child into the ground. I’m not arguing over wether it was deserved or not.

Ok. I’m not here to argue either. I guess we have different opinions and that’s fine.
Not trying to spark any heated debate but where is the line in behaviour from both sides which if crossed can result in physical contact?
The comments say the bloke called him a retard and a pussy before he flipped his hat off. He wanted a fight
I’m not questioning that.
If I saw and heard a security guard doing such things, I think the sensible thing to do would be to leave. Not hang around and knock their hat off.
But yeah, I’m interested to know where the line is that a security guard can decide to place hands on a person? Or a person can feel they can act before getting such a reaction?
It’s probably pretty grey.
It’s not two blokes on coke in a pub garden though. It’s an adult and a bunch of baby face kids.
I suppose I’m saying you have to be pretty pathetic and unprofessional not to be able to just go, oh they’re just on the wind up, let’s just call the police in and go and have a sit down in the office

Perhaps what I’m trying to say is neither party are right (or wrong?).
I remember experiencing a very similar scenario at the same age as those in the video. Skating a spot, getting moved on and kicked out, begrudgingly moving on but moving nonetheless. Some pretty heavy riot police saw what was happening and started to tell us quite bluntly to go away. One person in the group decided to claim they were free to use public space as they wished. Things accelerated from 0 to 100 in about three seconds with said skater knocked down, pinned and getting lifted into the back of the police van. Obviously he started to profusely apologise and try and seek pardon. The riot police finally let him go. All I learnt from the experience was not to push it in the face of law and order. Especially if there’s no point to it. Did riot police overreact? Yes. Were they in their right? Yes. Were we being cheeky? Yes Were we just innocent young kids who the police and security shouldn’t waste their time on? Yes. No real winners or losers.
Yeah, but this isn’t a policeman, it’s a security guard for a shopping centre and in the example you used, in a just world the police man would lose his badge for use of unnecessary force

I got punched by a female security at Cabbot square same spot when I was like 16. Had headphones in didn’t hear them and got lamped in the shoulder.
Exactly power trip. Regardless of what they said they are minors. If they are being that badly behaved call the feds. Not slam is head to the floor.
My Mrs got a football kicked at her head the other night by some kids. Picked up the ball walked over was like guys be careful it’s busy I know you are playing in the street. I didn’t throw him around.

I dont think it was unnecessary force but if you’ve ever encountered French riot police (CRS - who I think are actually a branch of the military?) then you know not to answer back to those robocop looking guys.
You’re probably right that there’s no point going back and forth but you said your mate said they were free to use the public space and that’s what justifying pinning him to the ground.
If you think that’s justified then there’s no point pontificating on it, you’ve already made up your mind
My friend was just being a smart arse and trying to argue. Anyway, enough said.
On with the continually updated instagram posts…

Did you see the Sewa kickflip in that game of skate against Tom Asta though? I think it might make the all time top 10.

I’ve watched that about 10 times now.
He’s hot rodding a little on that set up. Cracking line.
It’s mad that Sewa, who could arguably be put in the top 5 most technically gifted skateboarders of all time, has zero sponsors.
But in a way I get it, despite him having been a YouTube/berrics fixture for the best part of a decade I couldn’t tell you a thing about him. He seems like a very quiet guy without a marketable personality, and that’s probably more important than having exquisite kickflips.
Shame he never got on anything else after quitting Blind. He’s got Primitive level skills, but seems to have just missed his shot at levelling up.

The trouble is, he’s so good that he’s that good all the time so he couldn’t surprise us with anything if he made a big part. It would be all low level tech stuff that will just look far too easy and standard and he’d no doubt do stuff on standard, boring spots.
I don’t think he’s inventive enough to come out with something bonkers.
His snap is ludicrous though.
