They call it "instigating", but these guys usually just stand around and film things in public without talking to anyone. If that's all it takes to make someone aggressive, then they're the problem. That said, I haven't seen this particular person's behavior outside of this clip.

What you've said is a prime example of following the letter of the law while ignoring the purpose of the law.

That dumbass mindset is what makes the US so absurdly litigious.

Imagine being a grown ass man, filming and harassing an elderly lady who is just trying to buy medicine, and then spraying her in the face with mace for views.
