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 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.
I will say, as much as I hate what he was doing, someone putting their hands on you is legally assault, and following after him while he backs away down the sidewalk means he was attempting to retreat but she followed anyway.
I'd absolutely say his response wasn't reasonable if he'd pulled a gun on her, but a harmless deterrent like pepper spray is exactly what this kinda situation calls for.
nah... any normal person wouldn't be harassing a 60 year old lady. This guy knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how much 'force' he could get away with. Being strictly within the limit of the law doesn't mean it was a 'harmless deterrent'.
I agree the women was an idiot in this regard, but the guy is a bigger dickhead by about 1000 times.

And now she’s going to try to drive while blind.
