One thing I can't help but notice ... Brave Sir Robin over there is holding that shield high, he's uncovering all of m'lady's legs ... but Brave Sir Robin is wearing a sodding great tin hat. If m'lady gets hit in the legs he's left uncovered, Brave Sir Robin is going to have to drag her around like a sack of potatoes and when that happens, she's going to get hit more.
Were Brave Sir Robin a little more concerned with protecting m'lady and a little less concerned with looking like he's protecting m'lady she might be better off...
LATE EDIT: Heh, the other Brave Sir Robin - the one in the tweet without the tin hat - is doing much the same thing. He's mostly protecting his own body armour rather than m'lady. Now if you were an arsehole you'd snipe legs or head - either on Brave Sir Robin or m'lady - and the way he's holding that makeshift shield there's very little Brave Sir Robin could to to stop you for either one.
Not even saying going for kill-shots in leg arteries, just if you were a bastard and wanted to give a guy or a girl a dead leg from a less-lethal round so you can watch them limp around the rest of the night. The only protection Brave Sir Robin presents is if the Police aren't actually interested in hurting anybody.
Could be tomatoes, but all you need is one asshole in the crowd throwing stones even if they aren't all doing that. If you're going to protect m'lady, protect her.

You're overanalyzing it lol
Are you talking about the knight picture? Dudes using the shield for shade not protection.
To me it looks like the crowd is throwing tomatoes. So he's doing it to protect her dignity, not because they're actually trying to hurt her.
Whatevers happening its not the above analysis.
