    Everything about this is stupid, but breaking the trophy isn’t his fault. They knocked him over in a way that made him hit the trophy stand.

      Then who is at fault? Security? For doing their job? They wouldn’t be on stage if he hadn’t broken the rules. It wasn’t over-use of force, from the looks of things, just unfortunate placement.

      Saying the resulting damages aren’t his fault is like forgiving the person who caused a pile-up for driving reckless.

        The security guy who pulled him down towards the trophy sure seemed to cause the trophy to get knocked over though. The stagerusher was pretty far away before that.

        Yes, the trophy was security’s fault because it was from excessive force. He was already restrained! I’m not saying the guy wasn’t in the wrong for climbing on stage, but people climb on stages all the time without security breaking the centerpiece of the event while apprehending them.
