She's 22 and he has no responsibility to sooth a person who's trying to screw him over. I feel bad for the lady, she's obviously in a bad place. That doesn't mean she can go around drinking and driving hitting people's car and we're just supposed to let her go.

He doesn't need to soothe her, that would require the patience of a saint, but I personally think the things he said were clearly making her feel intimidated and panicked. Even putting aside how it affected her, I think he only made the situation more dangerous and unpredictable with what he was saying. He probably would've been better off just recording and not saying much, I get why he is angry though.

Apparently he's a bystander that decided to follow her after the initial hit and run, block her in, and antagonize her. No sympathy from me.

Yeah, I mean I dont really have much sympathy either in this situation. I just think that it has the potential to worsen the situation when someone like the cameraman says things that are clearly making her feel intimidated. It's good he was recording. If I were in his shoes I think I would try to not interact with her verbally though because she is clearly having an episode and panicking her could legitimately cause more destruction of property.
