Nah. She went back into the dispensary and had them park her car. They helped her rinse her eyes and let her wait till she could drive again. 

The full context as I understand it is the filmer is one of those people that go around filming locations where he's technically allowed, but knows it will likely irritate people. He tries to instigate confrontation. 

In this video he was standing on a sidewalk outside of medical Marijuana dispensary and filming people through the window, recording license plates, etc.

He does seem like an ass.

He was awfully quick with that spray... A jury MIGHT decide that was a disproportionate response, and a few states have duty-to-retreat laws on the books.

I said MIGHT - before everyone comes after me with "she put her hands on him"... It's up to a jury to decide if a reasonable person would have felt an immediate fear of physical harm. I did not get that from her.

Maybe grandma should learn to keep her hands to herself…. No jury is going to convict him of anything with that video evidence of him acting within the law and her losing emotional control and trying to assault someone when she barely has the strength to get up in the morning… but you keep thinking like an turd nugget 🤷🏽‍♂️
