I've seen people run after Paul's cars before; usually they are hoping to catch him when he stops at a red light. I think there is even a scene depicting this in the "Love You Make" film, where he asks his driver to try and get away from somebody who is chasing the car. As for our flower girl here
, I am guessing there was no security past the one guy standing on the corner, and it looks like she just blasted past him before he realized what was happening. The other security people were in the cars driving behind Paul and I guess didn't have time to get out of the cars to react to her.
Yeah, I think since I was running with giant flowers too, they weren't too suspicious, and might not even have known what I was doing until it happened.

How old are you? George was stabbed in his home 'only' 13 1/2 years ago. I'm not blaming you for what you did and it's great you got to see him up close and have a mini-conversation (even if you can't remember it!)
Just be careful in the future so the cops don't haul you off and you miss the concert!
Security has been a concern for all of them since the beginning. When they were doing big stadium shows in the 60s they expressed concerns about anyone being able to get a shot at them. After John was gunned down (by a fan that got an autograph earlier in the day) the others were rightfully paranoid and extremely concerned about their safety. George amped up the security on his Friar Park estate and some insane person still got through and tried to murder him in 99. When I watched this video I honestly was surprised that you weren't grabbed. I know there was nothing but good intentions but his security has no way of knowing. I listened to the interview on KEXP from his car and there was clearly a moment when he was distracted by something outside the car, maybe that way you? You should listen to it to see if it jogs your memory at all
I did listen to that interview! Although I don't think it was at the same moment I gave him my gifts. But that was such a cool interview, I really enjoyed it.

I'm 18-years-old. Yeah, that would have been a big downer if I couldn't go to the concert after. I made sure not to put up a struggle when they got me off his car. Didn't want to cause myself any trouble. Thanks for your advice though, I definitely will be careful.

Looks like she surprised security by running after the cars like that; since the car carrying Paul was already around the corner, there probably wasn't anyone blocking her from where she originally came from. And notice as she runs around the corner past the one guy who IS standing in the street, he just turns around as she flies past, but it's too late to stop her by then.
you should have seen Paul's face when i got to his window!!! surprised to say the least, but he was great -- so joyful and genuinely happy to see me and get my gifts. wish i could have talked to him for longer. i barely remember our exchange i was in such an elated state!
That's determination! So happy for you!
