      you should read the reddit thread, it's pretty much Americans and Brits falling over themselves to respecta the monarchist customs.

        I'm surprised by the American veteran in the r/publicfreakouts thread being the one voice of reason.

      Commenters on the Daily Mail wanted the guard to shoot the kid. I wanna end this comment with "lmao" but that doesn't feel right in this case.

            Hahahah I thought "You have to kick children if they're in the way, it's the rules" was going to be the worst take.

            Nope, they skip straight bemoaning that children these days don't respect the troops enough and should be kicked by soldiers more frequently, and "It'd be called racist if the kid was colored".

            Comment link isn't working for me. Do you have a screenshot (much as I'm sure I'm going to regret asking)?

              You're in luck, since I can't find the comment anymore. Might have been removed.

      it is simply a matter of personal responsibility to not kick the shit out of children
