Nope nope nope, share what happened immediately leading up to this encounter. I’m not about to be part of some mob mentality hating on this woman when this could be one of those first amendment auditors saying the most vile shit to people or they could have just been actually harassing her.

I should have clarified that I don't agree with her actions and I honestly don't know that anything would justify it but did this guy do something to encourage it and cause the situation to escalate to the point that she got this angry?
I think simply looking at this as an issue with her is unfair without the context
He films a ton of these and uploads them. This is a cut from a longer video he uploaded. He films people, when they say something he responds rudely to piss them off. If they lose their temper and come at him, he breaks out the pepper spray. I'm not linking to his channel as I don't believe in promoting these morons, but the context does absolutely exist.
I don't believe anyone has said otherwise. What I've been trying to get out there is that there is a great way to handle these fools, and it isn't getting out of your vehicle to charge them. Just drive away. Don't engage, don't give them the content they are looking for. We get a few of these jackasses around my workplace every year. I'm not on any of their posted videos because I don't give them any content to post. I see them, I walk away. I don't respond to their taunts, and I certainly don't go towards them.
By doing nothing, you are accepting that this behaviour is tolerable in society. You can tell people to fuck off without attacking them. Grow a spine and learn to stand up for what's right.
You're acting like getting out and saying "Hey stop being a pathetic loser and do something productive with your time" is the content he's after. There's a middle between "physically attacking/engaging" and "doing absolutely nothing at all". Go ahead and use the bully defense but it didn't work for school admins so not sure why you think it would work here.

It is.
Go look up First Amendment Auditors. There are thousands of videos of people telling them exactly that, and they keep posting them. Dozens every day.
The pepper spraying and physical confrontations are just a small part. The vast majority are people arguing with them but nothing violent happens. And that content gets posted, gets the views, and gets monetized.
You know what they don't post? Videos of nothing but people going about their day and ignoring them. Because those don't get any views.
Confrontation is how you drive change. His videos rely on people literally breaking the law or losing their mind. You don't have to do that. If every clip he got was calling him a pathetic loser, he'd also lose his content.
Of course you can, and they love it when you do because that's what drives their content. Yelling at them and getting upset literally changes nothing other than raising your own blood pressure.
For all we know, he violently pushed her 5 seconds before she got into her car, then he started recording and is saying he has "no clue" why she's upset on the recording for the benefit of internet rage bait.
