Comment by Andrea on July 26, 2009 at 10:55am: Understood.

Comment by Jay on July 24, 2009 at 8:58pm: Oh hell no, I"m trying to justify their actions but just from the video all Im saying that we arent getting a whole story.

Comment by Andrea on July 24, 2009 at 7:52pm: I see what your saying, and it makes sense but damn. Those guards weren't playing. Do you think it was justified then? The way they followed them down the street physically hitting them?

Comment by Jay on July 24, 2009 at 5:45pm: The head of security didnt catch me but other people who had cell phones and cameras had their items confiscated.

Comment by Jay on July 24, 2009 at 5:44pm: Yeah, I'm just saying that I dont the full story but from the looks of it the security guards were biased. But I find "well one or two security guards said it was ok" argument at fault considering security guards in general differ. For example, I was at a Lupe Fiasco concert and i brought a camera. i asked three guards if it was ok to tape the concert and two said yes, one no. the two that said yes however also told me to hide the camera whenever I saw their boss who was dressed in a different color uniform. Take it for what you will.

Comment by Andrea on July 24, 2009 at 5:30pm: Well I do recall them asking the security guard if that was ok and I believe he said it was as long as they did not start harassing them. And they only tried to ask a question and were manhandled, so take it for what you will.

Comment by Jay on July 24, 2009 at 5:15pm: 4) Some people shouldnt be part of security.

Comment by Jay on July 24, 2009 at 5:13pm: A few things:

1) It doesn't seem like we are getting the full story. We don't know if they had done anything else besides video tape.

2) We don't know if there are specific rules for this festival concerning cameras. Despite what they say in the video, events can request that no footage be taken.

3) It does seem like the two kids were following instructions from certain security members which does imply that some of the things discussed there can be looked upon with hate.
