Look at his eyes. He's almost in tears. This is not the face of a man who wanted to kill anyone, he just did what he had to do. Thankfully such a man was there, able to make the split second life or death decision and stop a tragedy in its tracks.
I think the best part of this is that there's nothing out of the normal. Parliament resumes, starting the sitting exactly as it always has. The message: You won't stop us, you won't make us change.
+Brad Parr It was comforting to know Parliament continued the next day.
Never fuck with a level 90 retribution paladin.
wtf?
Rob It's a joke relating to that huge ceremonial mace he carries.
You should not use such foul language
@@blitzwolf17 calm down the sentiment is what matters.
Haha love the wow reference.
Imagine if he took down the suspect with the golden mace. That would be one story.
"Canadian Ret Paladin takes down gunman. Doesn't even pop CDs."
@@Qwerty0791 He wasn't scared because he would just bubble
that mace is worth more than 10 times his lifetime worth of his yearly salary.
that would have been ' old school'
Her majesty’s hammer of justice!
While I recognize this man's actions and agree that he should be recognized, I can't help but feel a little bad for him. He killed a man yesterday and another soldier died. I imagine that's a good portion of why he's emotional.
I was thinking the same thing. He is a great man, but i can't help but notice that he seems like he is going to cry. Very traumatic thing to go through
The other emotional aspect is every person in that chamber is his charge, and they're all alive because he did his job.
He isn’t just a regular pedestrian who did it, he’s someone that goes into work everyday preparing for that moment or even worse. And the he and the person who died arent soldiers, they’re glorified policemen. I’m sure he mourns the loss of someone he probably knew well but this definetly isn’t a situation completely unforeseen to him.
Killing is never easy, no matter how much you think you prepare
@@jamescliff8038 it's a one in a million in the modern day. He definitely didn't expect it
Just stop for a minute ad look at Mr.Vickers face. He did what he had to, to protect people. Not for glory or fame, but because that was his job. He had to take a life, look at the emotional effect on this man. Its easy to act tough on the internet and say that you would do the same, but I would be surprised if most people could stay cool under pressure. Mr.Vickers you are a hero, for more than just killing that man. But for being willing to make that sacrifice.
it was not just taking a life. your man was there to destroy the very freedoms the Dominion of Canada lives for only because they decided to join a US lead assault on people who had no faith other than worshipping murder.
L Hall well said sir, well said.
Awesome post you written
That's exactly what I saw in his facial expressions.
It's the same face that Michelangelo's David makes.
I can't believe it's been over 6 years. We still remember your bravery, sir.
He was carrying the +5 Scepter of Canadian Warding. How could the terrorist not know this?
Lmao.
I hope U.S. newsertainment organizations will learn the lesson being taught by this- focus on the heroes and the victims, not the criminals.
As an American that would be very welcome. There's many reasons I don't watch the television news anymore and rely on internet news sources and the way they handle situations like this is a major one.
Murder is just passé here. Too many of them.
***** Same here Antony.We as American's have resorted sadly to the latest big or soon deflated ass of Kim Kardashian.ugh! The dignity of House Of Common gave me goosebumps. Come on America, this is how it's done!
Why not pass a law Benny that restricts armed citizens only to uniformed on duty officers of the national army? Sure, its a hunting rifle but I believe anyone who wants that license needs to prove they are members of a legitimate gun club. Keep in mind there was some public rancor after a hostage situation at a train station was resolved by a sniper. Some say that's overkill and aggressive policing.
Yeah about that..
Let us also honor Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the Argyle who lost his life. Kevin Vickers acted as a true hero, as did all our first responder's.
An amazing hero. Having an older brother in the police force makes this all the more emotional. Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers deserves a 24-hour standing ovation and the highest honours that can be bestowed on him by the Government of Canada. God bless him.
torontothegood That was my thought. He just stands there stoically looking a bit sheepish and uncomfortable in the spotlight, which is a common reaction among heroes.
Wow! The longest standing ovation I've ever witnessed. And well deserved.
That man never needs to pay for tickets to a hockey game ever again.
A great man..but in his eyes you can see the hurt of taking another man's life.May your heart and soul and mind find peace from that tragic day.
An absolute hero. An ex Mountie that even when rewarded with this high ceremonial role never lost his old skills. I can think of nothing more honourable that acting in a way to protect the lives of democratic representatives gathered to debate and work on behalf of a whole nation. The protection of that free speech is vitally important. This man stepped up quickly and with the least bit of fuss, bravely took out this man, as if he were a mad dog, who threatened us all. It is the internally, not externally, morally resolute, that tends quicker on the draw. And now 58-year old Vickers returns to his post, and just bobs on his heels like the old copper he is. I'd be highly surprised if he's not offered the george medal.
RCMP officers deserve the highest levels of respect. Americans, not so much.
A true hero, defending one of the greatest free nations on Earth. I am a Brit, but I have always felt at home in this amazing country, and felt the anger at the actions of this low life scum. I love Canada and her people. 'God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee' - says it all....
Glad you’re here, lad. 🇨🇦🇬🇧
The young punk came up against a 58 year-old. Except that old man had 29 years policing with the RCMP including stints as Chief Superintendant and Director General of Branches of Canada's national police force. He's also an acclaimed marksman.
Kevin "Wick" Vickers ... sat that punk down with some heavy lead.
That was powerful. Well done that man, from the UK.
Thank you to our brothers in the UK for showing us how its done!
This is Canadian Parliament not the UK.
@Steve Elliott
still belongs to the crown of queen elizabeth the second
@@1peter1180 yea but in the capacity of the queen of canada or sth
He looks so sad 😞 he must be feeling all types of ways .. even though he saved people and what he did was justified I’m sure no matter what after you take somebody’s life it’s very hard
It has shaken him.
Golden Mace of Parliament: +5 against terrorism + 5 bullet protection +9000 Canadian Pride.
I'm not crying... I am just cutting onions... my eyes are just a little sweaty today... a true hero, I salute him.
I want to personally thank CBC Canada for being a calm rational news organization that didn't devolve into US 24 hr news style reporting that certain OTHER news networks descended into, thanks for being a PROPER news network.
This gentleman is what us Americans would call with the greatest reverence; One bad ass mot**r f**ker!
Truly one of the best our great nation has to offer. On behalf of all Canadians Thankyou, Sgt. Vickers.
On behalf of all americans, Great job Sgt. Vikers. support from south of your border
i was thinking that! *****
He is not a Sgt, a Sergeant-At-Arms is an officer appointed by the Governor General to be responsible for the safety and security of the House of Commons. Essentially it is a position, not a rank.
I'm German and all I have to say is: My deepest thanks to this brave man !
There ladies and gentlemen is a warrior.
Love it when an older person shows their worth and saves the day
Every older member of our nation is of worth. They built this incredible nation.
@@slightlyvisible8448 Also every member of this country is of worth. Incredibly so.
Six years have gone by and nothing has changed. That man is still a hero and you don't have to be Canadian to be proud of him. Just really touching to watch.
He has a wicked ambassador post now, dude is chiiiiiling
@@jeanprimeau5689 It is still touching. Even after all this time. He deserves all the best.
All of the MPs gave him such a prolonged standing ovation for his actions that they continued the ovation by pounding the lids of their desks after the first call to order by the speaker.
He certainly deserved his ovation!
Bravo, Mr. Vickers. Force must be met with force. You've done yourself proud.
''most people who thinks its a ceremonial activity know now it is not''
No reason why it couldn't be both, which it is.
Makes me feel patriotic - and I am from Australia. GO CANADA - our BROTHERS and SISTERS. Gutsy folk, I hear....
Cheers Mate!
Same here. I am from the motherland and have my respect as well
It’s kind of weird disliking this video. It is literally exactly what it says it is. Salute from a proud Canadian, to our Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vicker.
This is so incredibly moving. Vickers is the epitome of quiet, dignified duty.
The respect, very emotional scenes.
I am an American and I can see Vickers and his party walk in Parliament with a new found appreciation from the masses. One can forget protective police is there to protect the legislative leaders from anti-national horror and I truly believe their assassin from the day before was a killer of all Canadians.
Salutes of Respect from Australia o7
This man is a real hero of democracy. I think Canada must be really proud of him.
Not quite Terry Fox level, but pretty close.
What a man.
And, what's with the dislikes? Unless you are a sociopath, what could you possibly dislike about a man who threw himself into the line of fire to save others, and then they applaud him for it?
Some people...
Well deserved ovation and I am sure that he like all other Men and Woman in the Services would much preferred to have not needed to draw and use his weapon. From New Zealand to our brothers and sisters in Canada, stand proud.
Can the US borrow him for a bit?
Good luck neighbor, you will need many like him to clean your house.
My first reaction was utter disbelief that something like this could happen in Canada, let alone Ottawa.
After seeing the video captured inside Centre Block, extreme saddnes overtook my wife and I. We had visited there several times over the years and this past summer had taken our two granddaughters on tour.
As Americans, we always marveled at how open, friendly, courteous, and clean so much of Canada is. We often thought this is how America could have been or at least could strive towards.
Now that dream or naïveté is shattered.
May the shooting victims ,family, and friends know peace.
The dream has not been shattered. One sadistic person should not have the power to change a country, and we should not let ourselves be changed by the acts of evil people.
Canada is still one of the most respected countries in the world, and my thoughts are with them at the moment.
There is no naivete; the desire to remain open and not over-react to acts of aggression was discussed actively today in the media and on Parliament here. I was proud on my first ever visit to DC to see that the Canadian embassy stands open to the public as does our Parliament. May it always remain that way, no matter how many commit suicide-by-guard there.
I am an American who never been to that building in Ottawa. However, I can see how patriotic Canadians are to their UK heritage and to the traditions that they still swear to today. You mercilessly killed a reservist on ceremonial national duty then broke into the legislative building through an MP only line. I can see why all of Canada mourned and demanded respect anew for what they were fighting for.
Proud to be Canadian
This video is the perfect way to taunt ISIS.
+TurfGuy I hope you are joking.
The Sergeant-at-Arms carries out his duty and democracy carries on - Bloody Marvelous!
1:57 you can almost see his feels at this moment.
Could this man BE any more Canadian?
His face just screamed "okay now, this is embarrassing, let's just move on"
After 5 minutes: "okay, really I'm getting all teary-eyed, so let's just get on with business as usual!"
Still a hero, after all this time, Bravo, Sgt. Vickers!
Strong man, I couldn't believe how long he was able to keep his composure through that.
Such a beautiful moment.
Absolutely beautiful!
God Bless this hero from the U.S.
Poor Kevin Vickers, "I'm supposed to be dignified...Its nice to be appreciated,..umm, this is embarrassing..when will they stop."
Personally I want to hug the guy.
If it wasn't for Mr Vickers, Sargeant at Arms, the bloodshed could have been 10 times worse. THANK GOD for you Kevin!!!! You deserve top honors!!
We stand on guard for thee.
This brings me to tears. We in America, sadly have much to learn
This aged well...shoulda been in DC on January 6th, 2021 :)
Somewhat ironic eh. The American Is cheered for not killing someone, the Canadian for taking a life. Yet, each doing what had to be done, to the best of their abilities.
You can tell he really loves his golden ceremonial mace.
Pure courage , the true soldier see he has your back
My fedora is tipped in respect. This is a gentlesir of pure class.
Huzzah Canada !!! Proud of our neighbors to the North !!!
The MP's almost died affirming their support for the American attack on ISIS. The man made clear in an officially leaked video his aim was to declare war to save his faith from pure destruction.
HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, he has the mace of Sauron, no wonder he could defeat any enemy.
He handled this with real class. Yes, he`s getting a long ovation, but he`s just killed another human being, and he could have really demeaned the whole thing by showing any other emotion than this solemnity. Bravo.
If any man in the US had the grace to absorb this much love with this much humility, it would make me proud to be an American. As it is, I wish I were born in Canada, and I regret my service to the United States as a veteran of Desert Storm.
God bless Canada!!
Never regret your service to your country, I am a Canadian Vet and was in desert storm with you (albeit with the British army as a "translator" so they could understand what the US Marines next to us were saying over the radio).
This man who you speak of was the right man in the right place at the right time, lucky for all he was also a Mountie and had the training and piece of mind to take action and win (Mounties rarely lose).
But his grace and heroics were well rewarded, he is the Canadian ambassador to Ireland now!
This ARMY vet says thank you non the less for your service. God bless.
Where was the American Sergeant at arms when terrorists stormed capital hill? 🤔
"Terrorists"
Hiding in a bunker.
He is the definition of a hero. Love and respect from your neighbors to the south. Stand strong Canada.
Always get emotional watching this.
This man..........Kevin Vickers. I admire what he has done, what he does and what he did. No more words can exemplify his true worth to his country and family. BRAVO Kevin Vickers.
Heroes come in many forms. Thank you, sir, from a grateful Brit!
Great job sir!! Man of honor...you Canadian's should be proud!
Bring that man to London and give him a Knighthood!
no can do. only british citizens can be knighted. he will at most have recieved the Medal of Bravery, and the Order of Canada. He does deserve knighthood though.
@@river1403 Not strictly true. He can be awarded an Honorary Knighthood by the UK but Canada decided against the award.
What an example of courage and quiet dignity
49 people just wound up on the RCMP's watch list...
TConX i'm 54th
TConX well if you unlike this article that means you support ISIS and islam
He deserves a standing ovation, a true hero no matter where you are from but it's sad that it has to follow so much death.
Such dignity.
Well done, good sir. I also applaud you...for you are indeed a hero!
A brave and cool-headed man, and deserving of our thanks - but how must it feel to get a standing ovation for killing a man? His face shows that he fully understands the weight of what he has done.
From an American, thank you.
We yanks feel sad for your losses, but we see Canada banding together and more united, like how we were 13 years ago. I wish our media had the class that yours has shown, I am thoroughly embarrassed by the "media" we have in our great country, ratings über alles...
Respect in abundance.
Barristan Selmy can still fight in his old age.
omg that made me tear up he's clearly trying so hard not to cry, it was an emotional event overall, but I think he's really touched by the applause and recognition he's getting, especially at his age and after having already retired from the RCMP.
Aw teary eyes, good man.
Thank you Mr Vickers. Never had to use your weapon until this incident.Doing what a sergeant at arms is supposed to do.
I think he should get a standing ovation every day for the rest of his life!
I don't suppose he is available to be loaned out on a "consulting" basis to Washington? Seems they could learn something from him. I hope he gets more than just 3 minutes of applause. He saved a lot of lives.
The dude terrorist had a shotgun not an ak47.
***** Why are you telling me this? I never mentioned in my comment anything about what kind of weapon he had.
He had a 33 winchester rifle not a shotgun, plus this isn't that states it's pretty hard to get an AK, we can't buy them in walmart.
They said shotgun sorry.
Proud day for the Canadians, congratulations. You should be proud of all those who ran to the sound of gunfire, and ended the threat.
What a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world
I am proud to be Canadian for the billionth time. Don't glorify that despicable human-being but press on and mourn the loss of that poor man and celebrate him by doing what us Canadians do best; standing tall in our unity through our great multi-cultural nation.
Now THAT is COMMANDING respect. RESPECT.
2:15 when the water stuck in your ear FINALLY comes out.
God bless Canada, always and everytime
"Fuck you - Not on my watch!" Well done Kevin Vickers, you are a man among men and a shining example of the pride and courage of your nation. Much respect from this US born poster!
The Dwemer may be gone but their legacy continues.
I genuinely laughed at this. Didn't expect to find this comment here. That Dwemer mace was enchanted I bet.
That Man is a true Hero.
he should no longer be called kevin vickers but from today on Sergeant BADASS
agreed. Or kickass
Sgt. Kevin Badass, (or Kickass, not both,) Vickers has a nice ring to it.
Do they give out Knighthoods in Canada? If so I'm thinking Sir Kevin might have a nice ring to it.
nunya biznez Would he be dipped in butterscotch pudding or maple syrup? As is tradition in Canaduh.
alvinfry I wouldn't know. I have never heard of such a thing. That said I would imagine since the maple leaf is part of the flag
I wish the US could have this kind of tradition
Here here
tkara1980 hear, hear :)
Someonez Mom Apologises, thanks for the correction.
no need for an apology I just thought I would let you know
You do! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_at_Arms_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives
Any man who can stow away his emotion when confronted with such praise is a true hero and example of patriotism, honor, tradition and duty. I am sure he wept upon leaving the House. Hurrah.
It was a good day at work for Mr. Vickers that day.
A good man protects those in his charge. A great man does so while running to meet the danger. Thank God such men are among us.
Its good to know that your Sergeant of Arms knows what he is doing. Bless him.
You know you've made it in life when you get immortalized in "Badass of the Week."
A Canadian badass. This video was moving. Well done Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers!
Almost 10 years ago. Thank you Kevin. Rest Well Corporal Nathan Cirillo. Lest we forget.
You can tell by the look on his face he is still shaken by the taking of a human life. Regardless of what this human life was doing it still has shaken him.
