Now, having done sentry duty on Parliament Hill, we were always told to ignore anything done to us unless someone touched us or made a move for our weapon, in which case it was GAME ON against the bugger who dared to do anything like that. We once had an idiot stand right in front of us as we marched down the hill with his camera aimed at us. One of the RCMP guards told the guy to get out of the way, as we weren't going to stop for him, but did he listen....oh no. Did he get trampled and have his camera ruined? Oh yes. He complained very loudly to the RCMP officer, who just shrugged and said " Be glad they didn't back up!".
Some people just don't know when to leave off I guess.
