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 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.
