Canada's Ambassador To Ireland Tackles Protester During Ceremony


Every one else was standing around like dullards. Sure, it looked a little silly but there shouldn't be an issue with what he did.

Canada's ambassador to Ireland, the man hailed as a hero for shooting Ottawa gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau after he stormed Parliament Hill in 2014, tackled a protester at a ceremony in Dublin Thursday morning.

Kevin Vickers, the former House of Commons sergeant-at-arms, was at the event commemorating the 100 British soldiers who died during the Easter Rising, also called the Easter Rebellion, when Irish republicans tried to overthrow British control of the country by force.

A male protester, wearing an Easter Rising T-shirt, stood up during the invitation-only event and could be heard yelling, "This is an insult."

Vickers was the first to respond to the disturbance, tackling the man and leading him away from the ceremony. Police later arrested the protester. Cont.
