It was self defense, and defense of others around her. In my book, that's just about as much if not more than the police does these days.

A guy being annoying and recording a video in public is an immediate threat to yourself and others?

That sounds pretty fine. It's when the video includes you and goes to a remote system that is the problem.

That still isn't an immediate threat to you or others.
