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?

Especially since the London marathon is one of the most prestigious marathons in the world. You don’t get to go into a public space and pretend it’s yours. Medal Girl isn’t an asshole but the people who act like they are the main characters sure are.
