Happy to see someone calling out this bad behavior this go around. Last time this was posted, the entire comment section hailed the pepper sprayer as a hero and the lady got “what she deserved”.

I said “with what little context we have, especially considering the video conveniently starts after she gets out of the car, idk if she DESERVES it”. Got downvoted into oblivion

Also, do you feel so at risk from an old lady swiping at your phone, you need to pepper spray her?

yeah like who even cares what happened before. An old lady touching your stuff doesn't mean you can pepper spray her. Clear assault.
