trying to start a thing.
If this was the era of flash we would see tons of replays comical
music.
I mean they both are humans and have to take this event seriously.
I remember walking outside for my ex I do exercise. Nodded some people
nearby me. They nodded back and a little while start to laugh about
that
nod.
Seriously they are just being respectful. They are human, life is not
a videogame-movie.
This is not "Street Fighter II" movie where M.Vega ( Bison )
is walking with the big-four and
the stereotype scientist moves out of the way with fear.
........
I have been around tons of guards, they are very human, and things
could
get crazy.
You want to see "Body Guards" go visit the Twin-Towers site.
You will be greeted by the
most kindest man there ( Very tall ), and tourist will be like
"Is it possible if we could see inside the
building" and he will call his supervisor who is an even bigger
guy ( so tall he has to lean
down when he opens the door, with two smaller big guys. ) I am not
kidding you. It is like
a protocol of some sort.
This video these guys are not so tall. Maybe the leaders had inching
boots.
