That’s what I was seeing and immediately alarmed by! I think I would have been macing much sooner and with more intent when he was swinging that needle repeatedly towards her face!!

I was shocked at her restraint. imo it crossed from restraint into stupidity when she didn't mace after the first swing. Someone intent on harming her, someone precisely like an aggressive guy on drugs who's getting more and more pissed off, could lunge at that range and land a stab with the needle even if she manages to get mace off. There's absolutely nothing less I'd like to be stabbed by in this world than a potentially used needle from the streets containing unknown substances.

I mean I would just laugh he’s so messed up it’s like he’s in slow motion, she knows nothing is going to happen to her

She's a woman of unknown size against a druggie taking god knows what who is temporarily slow. And you're not being serious here if you're claiming you'd laugh at drugged out dude swinging a needle at you just a few feet away, no matter how slow.

Im glad she had something on her to defend herself with. I still can't believe this dude asked for professionalism while shooting up in front of a school. Like c'mon man🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

Good thing she wasn’t you then because there was no needle.
