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.

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.

And that's ridiculous. You have no expectation of privacy in public. I thought the hate was overblown back in the Google Glass days, too.

Nothing to do with privacy and everything to do with someone attempting to openly mock me and throw me on the internet without the expectation of consequences. It’s about respect.

You also should have, in a well-functioning society, no expectation of violation of personal rights (or even human rights) in public. Yet here we are.

What a dumb take. Go back to putting up flock cams everywhere, cop-lover

It was a subway car, can he just grab her breasts? Ass? Where is the line on sexual assault? Let's review Creepy McCreepface's video and see exactly why this woman got upset.

So you're cool with letting men video children in public parks? Because it's technically legal?

In multiple threads you've been really focused on sexual assault and harassment happening but I don't see where in the article it says he was doing that? I'm sorry if I'm completely missing something
