You miss the whole point of this incident - it's about the shabby personality of Brian.
He is not an innocent caught in this game of public exposure, his whole life was dedicated to gain more fame, more money, more recognition (even in nonadjacent fields).
Now he demands privacy. It's impossible and ludicrous, especially if the action takes place on the sidewalk.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely, if you look at the encounter from that point of view.
However if you read Brian's account of the situation he was thinking I the fans and those fans and their parents are very much on Brian's side.
The fact the camera man was asked and agreed to stop filming but then carried on was the problem here, not the fact that he had filmed something, but the fact he wasn't willing to allow Brian and the fans, some of who apparently were young, a few minutes away from media glare.
The press/media should accept bounderies, if they don't or you are not willing to accept that you end up with the situation Freddie had around his house, I know this is extreme in comparison, where the press can do what they want regardless of personal feelings.
The facts still stand the guy got a few minutes of footage he was asked politely to stop and give the fans and Brian a few minutes but basically had the attitude of fuck you I'm going to carry on.[/QUOTE]
Contrary to what you may deduct from my posts, I am on Brian's side from more than 40 years now.
Like the father a Down syndrome child, I love him, but I'm also very disappointed.
And I'm not so convinced about his great guitar player abilities anymore.
In fact I elude any comparison with other guitarists fearing the result.

Indeed, replying to someone you don't like on another thread is the absolute attention-seeking stupidity on this forum.
It's only a preview of your devastating syllables you prepare for me on your own thread, right?
I'm eagerly waiting.

I was wondering which idiot would be the first to bite and you didn't disappoint.

Shows you up for being the repugnant human being I always knew you were. This remark is the most abhorrent from you yet.
You are lower than low.

@Thistle: You are wrong. It was a very apt, worthy and wholesome comment. I'm certain if you saw a frenzied downsyndromed man slapping wildly on your windows of your home, his Gretard Thunberg disabled eyes staring vacantly, shouting "AYUUUUH NUUUH, HOW DARE YOU!", you wouldn't be so courteous.

You've already said this last week, with exactly the same words and to the same person:

Is it the debut of Alzheimer or you developed a crush on her?
This is a public forum, not a private club where you are the sole owner and president.
However, there are rules applicable to both - like "respect other members".
Why do you feel the urge to gratify the author of "I was wondering which idiot would be the first to bite and you didn't disappoint"?

because, well, YOU are an IDIOT. you prove this by replying to a post belittling the attention-seekers - with an "attention-seeking" response of the first order.

Officer Clawhauser deciding what is right and wrong again.....when's that promotion due?
Do you get a badge or a new bouncy ball for post count thresholds?

I hope your prompt (7 min. - impressive) "Heil Bob" will be rightfully appreciated by the party leader, Brenski.
Your position in the staff of this exclusive Queen club is secured anyway (as a Brian May fan, and as a Brian Boru descendant), while I have to sneak through the backdoor entry together with the delivery boys.
It's increasingly harder for me to beat your coalition against logic and common sense.

Sorry to reply like this 9WITH CAPS) but the 'reply with post' thing seems to be playing up. So...
Vocal Harmony, your post...
"You're both talking crap.
Calling someone a parasite, telling them to go away and saying somethings ugly is going to happen are not direct threats of violence.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT YOUR CALL. IT IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE PERSON IT IS ADDRESSED TO. TO BE THREATENED WITH 'SOMETHING UGLY'S GOING TO HAPPEN' IN THE MANNER BM SAID IT IS BY ANYONE'S STANDARDS A THREAT OF VIOLENCE. DON'T KID YOURSELF
Brian asked the guy to stop filming after he ad filmed for a few minutes. He did that media thing where they say ok but carry on. Brian wanted some private time with the fans, not an unreadable request and one that the fans appear to have backed.
SO WHAT? IT DOES NOT GIVE BM THE RIGHT TO THREATEN (I.E. TAKE THE LAW INTO HIS OWN HANDS). IF I COME HOME AND SOMEONE HAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE I CAN REQUEST THEY MOVE THEIR CAR BUT I HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY "MOVE YOUR CAR OR THINGS WILL GET UGLY'. THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A THREAT OF VIOLENCE.
Brian made a grab for the phone. He didn't hit the guy, he didn't cause any damage and he didn't make any slanderous comments, unlike half of runner_70's posts.
So what exactly are you expecting Brian to be sued for.
I HAVEN'T MENTIONED 'SUEING', 'HITTING', 'CRIMINAL DAMAGE' OR 'SLANDER'. WHAT I HAVE DONE IS POINT OUT THAT BRIAN COULD BE PROSECUTED FOR ASSAULT UNDER SECTION 39 OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT. ASSAULT IS THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE, NOT THE ACT (WHICH WOULD BE BATTERY).
The other telling thing is channel 7 ran the edited version of the footage but have said and done nothing about runner_70's alleged assault or splicksplack's insightful reading of Australian common law.
NOT SURE YOUR POINT HERE. ALL THAT IS RELEVANT IS THAT VIDEO EVIDENCE EXISTS OF BM THREATENING THE CAMERAMAN.
Splicksplack you studied law, good for you. I learnt to fly, it doesn't mean I can fly a Typhoon euro fighter any more than you seem to be able to talk much more sense than rocker boy Weckwerth_70
I WOULD IMAGINE FLYING A TYPHOON FIGHTER IS HIGHLY SKILLED SO NOT A VERY GOOD COMPARISON. ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO UNDERSTAND SECTION 39 OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT IS THE ABILITY TO READ. WHICH MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE FIRING OFF ANYMORE HYSTERICAL ARSE-LICKING POSTS.

Brenski I see you are still ranting on here and blaming everyone else but yourself.
Time to play nice as you keep telling me so just do it! lol
