I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, but what she did is really shitty and she should be charged with it. She could have at least asked him to stop before destroying property.
It's really no different than if she smashed someone's phone because they were recording video in public.
We don’t actually know that she didn’t, unless you’ve got another article with more detail. This article is sparse in details, but it’s only his word in it that she didn’t talk to him. That nobody was bothered by it. That it went from 0-100 in the span of a look.
And idk about you, but that doesn’t sound all that likely to me, when everyone laughs at him for the consequences (seen in video). The whole thing screams this guy is an unreliable narrator. The whole thing to me reads like he knew he was pissing people off, like a YouTube prank channel sort of bother, and expected to walk away from it consequence free.
This article has a bit more detail and it does make him sound like a shitty prank channel sort that relies on annoying other people going about their lives. But again has no info about the encounter except his own words.

This is a very unpopular opinion in my opinion
Unpopular unpopular opinion: recording public places for yourself shouldn't even be considered a bad tone. Distribution of those recordings should, unless they contain some illegal activity.
These go through Facebook's servers. This is not a private recording.
Counter point: if you start filming me in public without my permission your phone is getting smashed, and I don’t care how shitty anybody thinks it is.
I'm glad the law disagrees with you. Someone doing something you consider disrespectful doesn't justify assault and property damage.
It sounds like you have some anger control issues going on if that's your go-to response.
... Are you a cop or something?
When you wake up and walk outside to the corner store, you've had like 40 devices filming you.... lol
Yeah but there’s a difference between a security cam and someone filming me to mock me on the internet. And for the record I’m not stoked about everything else filming me either.
https://www.foia.gov/ - Entire youtube channels with millions of followers request city camera, body cams, court cams, traffic cams.... everything... and mock you on the internet. I don't disagree with your feelings just reminding you of the world we live in.
If I could get away with it I would destroy those too.
Places where those cameras are required the most: police officers' cabins; mayors' and legislatives' offices.
Those devices don't get in your face, aren't easily manuevered to film like a creep. Also the same device don't follow you around like a stalker.
Are those differences really that hard to see?
I think the internet has ruined many people’s perceptions of what is socially acceptable and that there may be consequences for harassing others.
Yeah but I can't reach that high
Don't need to with a high powered laser pointer...
Aren't these usually CCTVs?
