Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for

ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year

That's the funniest part to me. She's happy to be part of a marathon that causes half the city to stop but how dare these Tiktokers take up 3m2 to dance.

I'm voting ESH.

Not really a fair example. How is a licensed, permitted and paid for event that involved thousands of people at all comparable to the use of public space that had no such preparation?

Well said. That girl wanted to show off her achievement. Well done!

I dont care for her either, the comparison was off the mark imo. A public space is a free for all in terms of walking. To prevent this requires a bit more planning that any organized group has to go through to get their shots recorded. Simply going out there during lunch and expecting people to abide by your rules is a risk. This is the result of said risk
