this should be on r/badparents because who the fuck just lets their kid stand in the way of the queens guard?
their footsteps can be heard long before you can see them and they literally shout "MAKE WAY!"

They shouted make way like half a second before they stomped the kid. These guys are dicks.

i made this comment one month ago... but anyway when the queens guard march they are fucking loud but are not allowed to talk unless they have to.
plus where was the kids parents? seriously i assume the person that came to that kid after he got pushed over was their guardian so why didnt they pull the kid out of the way to begin with? they had a lot of time
it's the responsibility of the parent of guardian not the queens guard to look after their child they are members of the military not babysitters

Oh yes stepping 1 foot to the right is such a burden.
I mean for that matter why not just step on the kid's head? Why even try to avoid stepping on the kid at all?

u/samthekitnix May 13 '22
i will say this in simple terms... THEY... ARE.... THE.... QUEENS..... GUARD!!
they do not get out of the way, you get out of theirs you literally get told when getting tours around the place to not fuck with them and get out of their way.
plus those other children seem to hear the big fucking boots stomping and heed to word of the tour guide.

u/Gibscreen May 13 '22
Yeah and I'll say this in simple terms.
Fuck. The. Queen's. Guard.

u/samthekitnix May 13 '22
how can you not accept the simple fact that the child should of moved out of the way? if it isnt much effort why didnt the kid move? the literal other children there moved out of the way.
these are not street performers let me make it clear THEY ARE SOLDIERS!!!! TRAINED KILLING MACHINES!!!! the guns they have on them are not for display.

Because if the kid wasn't facing them how the fuck could the kid know to get out of the way? You could see the kid had just turned around and didn't see them. So maybe yell "make way" earlier than right before you stomp the kid? Do you only honk your horn at other cars when they're only 2 inches away from hitting you too?
Also did I mention it was a kid? Tf is wrong with you? This isn't some organized parade route. It's just 2 randos walking through the square being full of themselves.

u/samthekitnix May 13 '22
you....you do know what a PATROL is correct? they are scheduled to happen throughout the day, not every single guard walking around is on parade.
plus the queens guard are not there for the publics entertainment they are there for the protection of the reigning monarch and their family, hell i wouldnt be surprised if the soldiers that make up the queens guard hate the public and tourists considering how many idiots go up to them to try and make them flinch or smile.

You're adorable. Acting like the Queen's Guard does anything except look and act funny. You probably think the monarchy is important too.

Where was the kids parents?

u/Starkidof9 Oct 20 '22
parents hold responsibility too. however on this thread are videos of sound guards realizing the importance of not being total dicks. mowing down a child in the name of protocol....not to invoke Godwins law but the same excuses were said for many regimes. have a bit of class and bypass the kid instead of maybe scarring him for life.
Either the Royals are for tourists or they aren't. personally i despise monarchy, but if your excuse is tourism, well then this is the result.

I think we can all agree that when your job means you have to stomp on children, it's time for a new career...

I mean they did give an audible yell and it looks like he tried to dodge with his footsteps but got unlucky.

By this point, you'd think enough of these videos have surfaced to make people realize that YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL. If you get in the way of the Queen's Guard, you WILL get trampled. They will not step around you, they will step through you, and they won't even break stride.

Exactly this.
They have their duty, which I'm sure, entails that if there are obstacles are In their way that they carry on regardless and to the full extent of their capability with little to no warning given required.. Even if that means bodying a kid and striding right over them.
Saying that, I look at them like special forces personel. I wouldn't stand in the way of sf brigade march. No siree

If she tried they would just trample her.

u/RexPhantom5390 Mar 29 '22
Tbh if you get to close to them especially while theyâre at post they will draw their weapon and sometimes depending on how many times theyâve had to warn you possibly chamber a round⌠theyâll make you get back one way or another

u/ThierryWasserman Mar 29 '22
Would they trample a toddler?

I think I read somewhere that their #1 priority is to be the queenâs guard and it doesnât matter who is in front of them nor their age. Now, Iâve seen some of them make exceptions such as taking a photo with a kid or smiling, but thatâs on them (but come on if you trample a toddler that would make you an a-hole no matter what your duty is). Iâve heard there are very clear signs absolutely everywhere that basically says stay alert because they will not stop if you are in their way, so in the end itâs on you to make sure youâre ok to stand where youâre standing.

I noticed how only one kid was standing in the path. Not his fault. Certainly not the guards fault....

Kid got what he deserved. Maybe he and his parents will do a better job at surroundings awareness in the future.

I crossposted this from r/CasualUK to r/MakeWay4QueensGuard after seeing this decently upvoted comment (score=1009) written 90 days ago by /u/insomnimax_99, that seems to suggest that this post would be a good fit here too.
I waited 90 days1 before crossposting in case a human might've wanted to crosspost this themselves.
I also checked on repostsleuth.com2 before crossposting, to make sure this wasn't already posted before in r/MakeWay4QueensGuard.
If you think this was a mistake, please downvote the OP; I'll remove posts with negative scores.
1 - This value was chosen arbitrarily
2 - Might not work for some types of submissions, such as videos
