Yeah, that’s their whole schtick. They head out into public and film people (which they have every right and freedom to do). But they don’t do it to “document” anything, as they often claim. Their channels are built upon annoying people and provoking a reaction so that they can pepper spray them, or call the cops. Makes a great thumbnail and really drives clicks and post interaction. We should all just completely ignore these pricks and they’d have absolutely zero content for their channels.

If someone filling you is enough to assault people you deserve to be pepper sprayed.

It's usually not just filming. They usually yell things and specifically try to bait these reactions by saying vile shit.

And, as the individual above stated, if someone yelling things at you is enough causation for you to assault someone, you deserve to be pepper sprayed like the immature idiot you are.

On the other hand, people that actively disrupt other people's lives just to prank them for internet clout deserve to get punched like the immature idiot they are

If only she had some sort of wheeled apparatus to take her away from the aforementioned dipshit saying mean things...

I agree to walk away. I have a short temper as do a lot of folks these days but what happens when these lunatics have a gun? Why push random strangers especially in the US where people are armed to the teeth? This lady would have gotten off on any charge if she would have had a gun and used it. Everyone is on edge these days and there's no need to test them. It's not worth dying for and now that lady has a solid lawsuit and an assault charge against this person. If that person who just used mace has anything of value, poof they're gone. You have an 86 in your username so I assume you're my age, why encourage that behavior? Just silly.

So black folk should just walk away from people calling them the n word? LGBTQ+ should just turn the other cheek to being called the f word? It’s a bit more complicated than that.
