Who was in the wrong here?
Probably technically the shop keeper but camera dude seems like douchebag
You're viewing a single thread.
Use of pepper spray is typically appropriate in self defense, so in response to a threat of physical violence.
I didn’t see a clear threat of physical violence in the video.
Camera guy probably landed himself an assault charge with that escalation.
The other person was also in the process of turning away and leaving.
Damn that’s crazy, I have the complete opposite conclusion.
Yes, camera guy appears to be an antisocial shithead based on only this video. However, he was standing on presumably a public sidewalk and did NOT use physical force first.
The business owner or manager was clearly the first to use physical force trying to shove away the camera when no threat to their safety was present.
Again, camera guy appears to be in the moral wrong but it’s pretty clear who starts the violence.
The other commenters point is valid as well, when camera guy retaliated, there was clearly no continued threat to their safety.
They’re both idiots and the almighty business owner should have known better than to do the dirty work when the state monopoly on violence was on their side from the start.
