This is unbelievable!!
I'm been looking for footage of that male security official and the older woman who was wearing a visor. Those two security officials where horrible people.
Similar story of a situation not being dealt with professionally by the same two individuals happened to us. We had just arrived on the festival ground for our third day. My friend purchased his girlfriend a beer and we walked towards where we would setup base for the day. I look back and can see security (The same two individuals as in the video) talking to my friends then out of nowhere forcibly grabbing them and dragging them to the "VIP area".
Turns out my friend hadn't yet gotten her alcohol wristband for the day and the security official walked up to them and just took her beer, she showed them I.D. and once they saw she was Canadian she said "I'm tired of you Canadian coming here and thinking you can get away with murder!" then put the I.D. in her pocket (MY FRIEND IS 24 YEARS OLD!). My friend went to take her I.D. back from the ladies pocket and when she did it all went bad, the lady screamed it was assault and forcibly grabbed my friend and put her into a headlock. Another from our group started yelling and telling them to let her go which in return they also grabbed my other friend.
We where all sober, and once they had the girls behind the fence I tried to sensibly talk to the male security official. His reply to me was "Where you from, Canada, this is america I'm not talking to you" and shut the door in my face.
My friends where evicted and ruined our experience.
This is something that cannot be let go! I had almost forgot about the situation then watched this video and see that its THE SAME TWO PEOPLE! Does the gorge do any form of screening when they hire these lunatics who discriminate against groups!?
Does anyone have any information on the two officials as I would seriously like to pursue some sort of criminal action or at the very least ensure they are no longer working there and causing this!
