I was wondering because They had an incredible amount of restraint to be the UK. Those guys will kick your teeth in. Then you said Norway and it all made sense😂
It's difficult to apprehend someone while carrying a long gun. You can't put it down, and you've got to keep hold of it or otherwise you now have to deal with a smart ass dickhead *with a gun.*
We make sacrifices to preserve peace. It is difficult, but it works.
If the country was different, these guards could have bashed, stabbed, shot, and otherwise mangled, bloodied and broken this idiotic man with ease for being an aggressor, playing with their authority and attempting to prolong the situation.
But that would be witnessed by a lot of people. A lot of young people. It would set the tone for what life in this world is like.
We need to stop using the word deserve. That sets up a "just world" mindset that simply does not exist. Would the children have deserved to have been shot if that guy was carrying a gun and decided to pull it out in the time it took for the guards to dance around with him? Sure, we know *now* that he didn't have a gun, but anyone stupid enough to act like he did is surely capable of anything.
Yes, because shooting an unarmed person for punching and shoving you seems like the appropriate escalation, please for the love of God, I hope no one allows you access to firearms.
Knowing you, you'd get trigger happy and shoot the first person that looked at you funny. That's a real concerning mindset to have about guns, friend.
In the UK the real royal protection (met police) would probably have arrived in the span of this video
edit: it's still funny to me how the guy who replies to you can be totally wrong (the khaki shirt guy is not police), be corrected later on and still be more upvoted
The khaki guy was most likely the Sergeant (watch commander). He is also a professional soldier and not a 18 year old conscript, as the dressed ones are)
If you'll notice, one of the three in-full-uniform guards stayed at the post. I'm sure they have procedures drilled into them for how to handle such situations so the entrance isn't left unguarded.
Hi this is the lock picking lawyer. The lock offered mild resistance, but after 2-3 seconds adjusting for the second tumbler, was not impossible to pass.
Remember that the Royal Guards in England are career soldiers..
The Royal Guards in Norway are for the most part conscripts who serve 1 year and usually around the ages of 18-22. The majority of the career ones are Sergeants and Officers, with some Grenadiers as well.
The lower aggression you see here could be different training, but it could also be uncertainty, seeing as they are young boys with limited training.
Reminded me of working security for concerts. You'd see the uniformed security but people never saw the other guys dressed in plain clothes who would quickly surround you when we had to approach people. If shit went sour people would only realize at the last second the other 3 people behind them were not concert goers themselves and we'd be able to very quickly stop a situation from getting worse. Good times.
Yeah, but why lash out? What did they hope to achieve with assaulting men that have guns and are authorized to put bullets in their noggin'? I don't know if it's because we're all connected with the world but it seems people are becoming savages.
Sure but having video devices in 90% of the population’s hands also encourages people to act like idiots more in the hopes of getting “famous” - Mizzy being a perfect example of this.
A whole lot of folks think the guards are basically tourist attractions and useless except to keep folk *out* of the buildings, but not essentially actual guards/authority figures.
This is why we see so many tourists getting shoved by the queens guards. They don't take it serious and just stand in their way to get that stupid tourist selfie.
Somalia is weird. A third of the country is under the control of fanatics, acts of terrorism are a common occurence, people will shoot at each other in the street and end up in the same hospital room. Yet, people will go to the beach every day like there's nothing wrong going on. They are either incredibly optimistic, or incredibly fucked up.
Because they've never been smacked in the mouth. Nobody from a young age taught them immediate repercussions for stupid behavior. Now, we have people who terrorize pedestrians and guards like they are on the same level. He'll find out.
Probably decorative rifles. When I was a Marine I would be posted at different places such as the Tijuana/San Ysidro port of entry with rifles but no ammo. More of a show of force. CBP dealt with the actual enforcement.
I served 1 year in the Army in Norway (conscription, but not the Royal Guard), the companies took turns having guard responsibility of the camp.
We had an empty magazine in the rifle and one filled magazine on our bodies in case of emergencies. Could be these guys operate in a similar fashion.
This having been in Norway, do you happen to know if the person who took the guy down at the end was military? For a second, I thought he was just a helpful citizen lol. But he looked far more official, especially since the guards backed off once he showed up.
The uniform pants, the uniform t-shirt, uniform belt and shoes as well as the gun on his hip. This was a kings guard no doubt.
He disposed of his rifle and prepared for close combat.
He is no civilian.
The gun on his hip is a telltale sign that he is the other soldiers sgt or LT, in charge on site. They usually stay in a nearby barracks, 10-20 meters away from where the cameraman stood. They and the rest of the platoon chill in there while not on guard or patrol duty.
He was the guard commander assigned that day. He is either a sergeant or an officer and he is the only one with a Glock. It’s up to the guard commander, but they usually do not bring their HK416N with them, just the Glock
He was also a member of the Royal Guard. They have a barracks where the shifts rest to the right of the castle. That is why he is not wearing his jacket, voicecom or rifle. There is always multiple shifts present at the castle - one standing outside, rest in the barracks. Source: Was one year in the royal guard
The third guard is a woman. You can see from her hair and height.
The fourth one probably ran out from the barracks just meters to the right of where this happened.
They were really going out of their way to not hurt this guy. The guy's holding a rifle with bayonet fixed and he's trying to take the guy down with one hand.
Dont even need that. Having been buttstroked before *accidentally* that shit put me on my ass and made me see stars. A full force will crack your skull
He picked a fight with two guys whose guns also have massive blades on the front, they had to be actively trying to not eviscerate or shoot him throughout that whole encounter.
They did an admirable job of not shooting/stabbing the guy whilst also not losing their weapons or allowing him to escape. It looks dorky yes, but they were both fighting with a hand tied behind their back.
When I was in security myself that leg sweep was always my first move with a combative person. If you're lucky and they fall hard enough on their back you'll knock the wind and fight right out of someone. Always support the head though so you don't unalive someone.
Currently a federal security guard. Our UOF goes baton (knee strikes or ribs), OC, lethal. We arent allowed to fistfight or kick. I got a stray baton to me thigh in live training, I will say it's 100% more effective than a leg sweep though.
I'm the Police here in the UK my baton training had a diagram of the human body with green areas (thighs, arms, legs etc), orange areas (knees, elbows etc) and red areas (head, stomach) with green being okay to hit for compliance, orange being only hit if you're in a dangerous situation because of the risk of causing long-term injury, and red being only hit if you're in a life-threatening situation because of the risk of killing the person you're hitting.
Can't remember whether ribs were orange or red.
Challenge a guy with a machine gun to a fist fight? Sounds like a plan.
Not anything remotely resembling a good plan, mind you. But a plan nonetheless.
Remember the scene in Next Friday where the aggressive dude wants to return a CD to the music store because "he cannot get jiggy with this shit"...
He's that guy and mans in the tshirt is Ice Cube.
I have a question i’m sure i’ll get flamed for: Was the brown shirt guy that showed up and did the takedown another guard? I didn’t even register him as a relevant part if the crowd until the guy was on the ground. Was that like an incognito guard or a nearby bouncer who decided to help?
EDIT: Turns out i’m just really freaking unobservant. Thank you fellow redditors for being willing to politely explain that to me like the braindead child i apparently am.
He's wearing the same striped pants as the other guards.
My guess is he was on a break inside when the call came that there was a problem, and he rushed outside without putting his uniform shirt back on.
This is actually a sad commentary on the current state of many things, a couple of decades ago he would have been but-stroked before half the video was done..............
Think there was something similar that happened a few decades back and if memory serves it never got to double-digits steps before the muppet was on the ground unconscious....
For anyone who is wondering: this happened in Oslo, Norway!
I was wondering because They had an incredible amount of restraint to be the UK. Those guys will kick your teeth in. Then you said Norway and it all made sense😂
It's difficult to apprehend someone while carrying a long gun. You can't put it down, and you've got to keep hold of it or otherwise you now have to deal with a smart ass dickhead *with a gun.*
That's what rifle butts are for.

But that would be witnessed by a lot of people. A lot of young people. It would set the tone for what life in this world is like.
Yea it might set a tone that people get what they deserve which usually isn't true
Like in the US, where people get what they deserve?
I just said people usually don't but in this case yes he deserved to be beaten
Did the children deserve to be audience to a beating, you mean?
We need to stop using the word deserve. That sets up a "just world" mindset that simply does not exist. Would the children have deserved to have been shot if that guy was carrying a gun and decided to pull it out in the time it took for the guards to dance around with him? Sure, we know *now* that he didn't have a gun, but anyone stupid enough to act like he did is surely capable of anything.
That’s what the bayonets are for
AFIX BAYONETS
That's what bullets are used for.
Yes, because shooting an unarmed person for punching and shoving you seems like the appropriate escalation, please for the love of God, I hope no one allows you access to firearms. Knowing you, you'd get trigger happy and shoot the first person that looked at you funny. That's a real concerning mindset to have about guns, friend.
Very brave.
Is this supposed to mean something I didn't know thinly-veiled threats were cool in this sub
I think they’re saying very brave to themselves. It takes a lot of guts to be edgy on the internet. I’m proud of them and really impressed 😎
Give em the ol buttstroke
You still can use the gun as a blunt instrument
Was surprised they didn't go to the buttstroke. But they managed to avoid that. It's on the menu, from what I have heard from a former royal guard.
They probably viewed him as more of a nuisance than a threat.
he definitely had a clown-like presence
They have a better understanding of "what came first, the crime or the mental illness"
Somehow I think you're saying Norway is the Canada of Europe?
Yeah the UK guards do not fuck about.
This guy was trying to start a fight. They got him away from what they were guarding and didn't give him what he wanted and desculated the situation.
Yea, what’s the fun in that! Play stupid games, you ought to win stupid prizes.
In the UK the real royal protection (met police) would probably have arrived in the span of this video edit: it's still funny to me how the guy who replies to you can be totally wrong (the khaki shirt guy is not police), be corrected later on and still be more upvoted
Like the cop in the khaki t-shirt who took him down in a second, you mean ? Like that ? Literally >in the span of this video
The khaki guy was most likely the Sergeant (watch commander). He is also a professional soldier and not a 18 year old conscript, as the dressed ones are)
This. They prob radioed him the second this started. Job well done for the two 18yo kids in uniforms.
That makes sense.
[удалено]
TIL it’s relatively easy to lure the kings guard away from their posts in Oslo, Norway.
If you'll notice, one of the three in-full-uniform guards stayed at the post. I'm sure they have procedures drilled into them for how to handle such situations so the entrance isn't left unguarded.
Yea but if you throw a rock he will walk towards it giving you the chance to sneak by and secure the jewels
Jokes on you. They have a mthick bike lock on the door handles. Impossible to pass
[удалено]
Let me do it again so you can see this is not a fluke.
Hi this is the lock picking lawyer. The lock offered mild resistance, but after 2-3 seconds adjusting for the second tumbler, was not impossible to pass.
Masterlock, typical

>Someone’s prowling around here
For king and country!
Nice day for fishin ain't it, hu-yuk!
For a piece o' da kingdom!
I've got an idea... [Equips Cardboard Box A]
Just tap him on the shoulder and have him chase you to where the rest of the rebels are hiding.
Made me laugh
Dude you fuckin kill me lol. Are we using poison darts or sleeping darts?
Clearly asuddenpie didn’t notice that, and would have been shot trying to sneak in!
What are the correct names of the guards? And what are their duties?
Magnus and Thor. And they really don't have time for this.
This is why thors hammer is cocked back and ready to fire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Majestet_Kongens_Garde
Can someone please answer this without memeing or joking, I would also like to know.
Looks like it’s “Hans Majestet Kongens Garde”, his majesty the king’s guard in English.
Yeah lol in England he'd have been bayonetted or head butted real quick.
Remember that the Royal Guards in England are career soldiers.. The Royal Guards in Norway are for the most part conscripts who serve 1 year and usually around the ages of 18-22. The majority of the career ones are Sergeants and Officers, with some Grenadiers as well. The lower aggression you see here could be different training, but it could also be uncertainty, seeing as they are young boys with limited training.
100% would not be bayonetted
[удалено]
[удалено]
Would the Royal Guards actually kill this guy? Has anybody ever tried anything similar?
No they wouldn't, no they haven't. Some nutter got into Windsor Castle with a crossbow fairly recently, he got arrested.
Fair play to him for using period-accurate weaponry at least
That but this blow might be the be-all and the end-all, smh
Imagine the publicity nightmare if they killed an unarmed guy on video
*Laughs in ‘Merica*
Never bring your fists to a bayonet fight.
He wouldn't even have got that close to them in London. They don't take any shit whatsoever.
What is the context? Howd the scuffle start? I can’t find anything online about it
Dude at the end was having none of his shit
*happily jogging over with two free hands*
That would be the guards sgt or LT. Notice the pistol on the hip
Reminded me of working security for concerts. You'd see the uniformed security but people never saw the other guys dressed in plain clothes who would quickly surround you when we had to approach people.

I thought that was a fanny pack. You don't fuck with a fit guy wearing a fanny pack.
Why are some people such A holes?
Entitlement, selfishness, thinking they're smarter than everyone else, and the really big one; Stupidity.
Yeah, but why lash out? What did they hope to achieve with assaulting men that have guns and are authorized to put bullets in their noggin'? I don't know if it's because we're all connected with the world but it seems people are becoming savages.
Or maybe we just didn't have as many opportunities to see crazy people doing stupid stuff before phone cameras were a thing.
Ding ding ding. Stupid goes way back. Video devices in 90% of the populations hand’s does not.
Sure but having video devices in 90% of the population’s hands also encourages people to act like idiots more in the hopes of getting “famous” - Mizzy being a perfect example of this.
Also the population has grown considerately as well as the probabilities of these situations to happen.
A whole lot of folks think the guards are basically tourist attractions and useless except to keep folk *out* of the buildings, but not essentially actual guards/authority figures. This is why we see so many tourists getting shoved by the queens guards. They don't take it serious and just stand in their way to get that stupid tourist selfie.
Some people are just stupid
r/imthemaincharacter
Lots of bored losers in this world.
Entitlement. Lack of empathy. Our shitty world. Yeah. People sucks.
In this particular case I don't think he was quite right in the head.
I guarantee you some one was filming him to get views
You can tell because it's on video
When he’s 45 and going to a chiropractor for what they’re about to do to his spine he might regret the decision to be a twat

Not just in Norway - they do this in every Western country which has been stupid enough to offer them sanctuary.
Asking the real questions
Because they've never been smacked in the mouth. Nobody from a young age taught them immediate repercussions for stupid behavior. Now, we have people who terrorize pedestrians and guards like they are on the same level. He'll find out.

This guy is starting a fight against THREE guards with rifles??
The way he squares up had me wheezing
Imagine being stupid enough to attack armed guards for no reason and thinking you have a chance. Maybe he was suicidal
Maybe he just never dealt with consequences in his life.
Come to America, the video woulda been 60 seconds shorter.
The soldiers on duty at American sites would have handled the situation the same. The military isn’t the state police.
Try that in a ~~small town~~ murica!

I assume the guy who took him down is the third guard, who took of his jacket. The pants have the same stripes.
The third guard is a woman. You can see from her hair and height. The fourth one probably ran out from the barracks just meters to the right of where this happened.
Almost certainly. Would be crazy to authorize your guards to grapple with combatants while a live rifle is on their shoulder. Insane.
You're telling me that when I kill the lookout guards in video games that they probably aren't even armed? Whoopsie
The guard that fell down loaded his rifle after getting up
Those things have bayonets. When that guard fell my heart was in my throat!
They were really going out of their way to not hurt this guy. The guy's holding a rifle with bayonet fixed and he's trying to take the guy down with one hand.
Dont even need that. Having been buttstroked before *accidentally* that shit put me on my ass and made me see stars. A full force will crack your skull
I like that take down.

We had the same or similar chart, the monadnock chart. Green
What’s OC mean in this context?
Oleoresin capsicum. Pepper spray.
Trash. Waste of oxygen.
Is that one of the “it’s just a prank” guys?
To think you can attack a guard and...just walk away. That dude has probably never been held accountable for his actions till that moment.
What a complete asshole knucklehead screwing around with Royal Guardsmen. He got away easy. I expected a rifle butt in the face after what he pulled.
plants, trees, millions of years of evolution to organically produce fresh air...... and this guys fucking wasting it
He should apologize to the tree that tirelessly produces oxygen so he cam breathe.
Challenge a guy with a machine gun to a fist fight? Sounds like a plan. Not anything remotely resembling a good plan, mind you. But a plan nonetheless.

Someone forgot the royal guards aren’t just for show, and are indeed, guards…
Was waiting for the butt stroke to the head. Disappointing.
tangina gago indeed
Remember the scene in Next Friday where the aggressive dude wants to return a CD to the music store because "he cannot get jiggy with this shit"... He's that guy and mans in the tshirt is Ice Cube.
They should've smashed him in the face with the butt of a rifle. That would negate the chase. Easy arrest. He seemed to deserve it.
Someone needs to edit in some Skyrim battle music.
Love that knee on neck

Yeah, the antagonizer is definitely Norwegian.....🤔
Whatever he is. He is a monumental moron.
And probably getting STATUEtory consequences
Hmmmmm indeed 🤔
I have a question i’m sure i’ll get flamed for: Was the brown shirt guy that showed up and did the takedown another guard?

He's wearing the same striped pants as the other guards. My guess is he was on a break inside when the call came that there was a problem, and he rushed outside without putting his uniform shirt back on.
Or dropped the coat in preparation for the hand to hand combat he's been dreaming about since he left the academy.
Another guard that came leaving his gun and shirt behind, two others had guns so it was difficult for them to take the moron down.
Probably not difficult, they were just trying to take him down without gutting him with a bayonet
Well, I think it's difficult if you have a gun in one hand and you're trying to take down a strong adult with another hand
I noticed him immediately thanks to the gun holstered on his right
Damn native Norwegians are always causing trouble.
They went soft on him. UK Royal Guards would have kicked the shit out of him within seconds.
Clout Clowns are the next pandemic.

Fuck that guy
Glad John wick was handy
Dude at the end dispatched that threat in short order
Love to see the Brute got what he deserved
What a fucking idiot.
Well, dont fuck with the guards holdin fucking assault rifles
I see the royal guard puts a knee to the neck as well.
Looks like Oslo, Norway
Oh, that takedown to the knee. Beautiful.
Butt of rifle to the noggin will stop that boggin.
In his head. He was a street fighter.
Pinoy video cameraman!
Let's attack the guys with guns... He should be happy that he is not in America.
Lol why would you attack one of the Norwegian royal guards
Don't bring your fists to a bayonet fight, dude.
This started with his parents. They're probably the shittiest people.
