No. That's the answer. Even with just one side of the story no it wasn't legal... well more of a civil case. People may not like it, but property destruction is generally not looked on favourable by the courts simply because someone didn't like something.
Maybe she made a fake-out lunge at him and he knocked them off his face.
Actually... still illegal... well... more of a civil case.
I'm not sure if whomever wrote that knows people in general but no one defends people on a subway. At best people will just watch. Or worse, film it. People are desperate to see action play out.

I know we often make jokes about America and their cheques (especially their spelling of it), but at some point in the past decade I thought it had been relegated to just that, a joke. I hear nothing but talk about credit cards and cash lovers, I actually thought cheques disappeared. Are they still a thing? It's been legit 3 decades since I've seen a cheque book.
Let me suggest that the damage done to Germany by the Nordstream action was a magnitude greater than any damage done to the dome at Chernobyl.
Considering the pipeline was not operating yet you might be wrong but ask Germany. Also it's not the action itself at Chernobyl it's the potential consequences of the action that is the concern but that might be too much forward thinking for some. Also no-one seem interested in finding out? Isn't the most comprehensive investigation from the Germans?
Apparently you cared enough to lie about it. Russia has consistently claimed it was acting in self-defense and defense of ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
Lie about what? I acknowledge Russia says a thing that does not make it true or an acceptable justification for anything.
NATO was intervening in an ethnic conflict to prevent genocide, contrary to your claim that was not ever a sufficient reason for military intervention.
Not to prevent but to stop an ongoing genocide
Call me what you will but even I, the opposite propagandist know these are like the level 1 from your side. Go back to motherbase, get the 2025 talking points, you're still on the 2022 version. At least I'm good at it! (because the facts are on my side)
A lot of people have self-inflected hearing loss.
Usually not resulting from wearing a homebrew hearing aid that you cranked to 11 until it damaged your hearing, though. That's in essence what that guy did to himself.
No, it doesn't excuse the behavior at the McDonald's, but people who fake their disability or intentionally injure themselves for sympathy are making things worse for those who are truly disabled.
That's the thing, someone who believes their day-to-day life is so fascinating that they need to be able to record video at any given moment, probably has a severe case of main character syndrome.
So yeah, "asshole glasses" definitely fits.
It's been done before, taking pictures on the subway, and those were done by photographers or people trying to get into photography. Such pictures are easily found by doing a simple search.
It's about perception. When someone is wearing these glasses they are looking at you with their eyes. When someone is taking a photograph, the camera is between you and them. It's obvious what the person is doing.
Gotta be honest, every time someone collapses and is in distress, there are always a bunch of people who pull out their phones and start recording.
Schadenfreude is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Turn on the 11 o'clock news and it's car crashes, plane crashes, fires, crime, corruption, and death. It doesn't make it right, but it's just human nature to gawk at someone else's misfortune.
I found an article explaining that incident, but it doesn't get into what the guy's supposed medical need is for wearing his camera glasses. So, I went and did the needful - I asked ChatGPT:
Over decades of use, his “visual system” has adapted around the EyeTap: he claims that now he cannot see correctly without it
His dependance on the glasses was self-inflicted, which makes him more along the lines of people who put those Temu "Service Dog" vests on their pets, rather than someone with a genuine disability.
Nordstream is a given I'll say that but it does not carry the risk to relations nearly as much as Chernobyl, is also in the ocean and was likely rebels, not a state action.
Russia points to the Maidan revolution and following civil war as being instigated by Ukrainian "Nazis' spurred on by NATO
Who cares? Everyone knows that is not factually true. Do you think that's true? It's not true you know.
Russia does not lean on an attack on their people or terriroty as one of their many justifications.
Serbia
Oh, pray tell, and what was happening in Serbia that wasn't happening in Ukraine?
Who is going to find them out and hold them to account? No one.
What do you mean? Everyone! Europe would not be happy with that. The USA would not. Russia has every incentive to expose such an action if it took place. Belarus would also be very incentivized. Seriously, think about it.
This is a war and both sides are to blame.
No, this is an invasion. Ukraine did not attack Russia, even Russia acknowledges that. You can say an invasion is justified and make that case but that's the position you're starting from, Ukraine was not looking to war with Russia, you can't just hand wave a "uhh, both sides" here and that does all your cognitive work.
Calling it ethnic is one of the justifications Russia gives but if you think about that's not something we would use to justify an invasion from anyone. It's bullshit, this is political and a power grab. Putin isn't exactly secret about things.
a company that can't even crack double digit market share in its home country.
That's if you count *only* streaming platform subscribers though. Paramount/Skydance is far older with a very thorough IP catalog (4500 films, 200k TV episodes), owns and operates CBS with all that comes with a major network, also operates CBS news, multiple other networks (Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Showtime).
Even in revenue Netflix is bigger but its $33B vs 29B. They are pretty close and you can just as easily make a case that considering the size and age of WB's catalog it makes sense for them to join with a "new media" company than combining the catalogs of two very legacy media companies. I don't know if it's a good argument but I think both these companies are pretty equal footing as to who "deserves" it.
Ukraine has more reason to attack it and blame Russia, so they hope Europe will poor more money into them
This doesn't really track as the most likely scenario, I mean the risk to Ukraine is enormous if this was found out, particularly when Europe is and has been helping them. Really just an overall needlessly risky plan. I'm not totally convinced Russia has a legit reason to attack intentionally, an accident seems likely.
Also it's "very close to the Russian Border" only if you're the type of person who considers Belarus just another part of Russia at this point. It's closer to Kiev than the closest Russian border.
How many more reboots, sequels, and multiverses does spiderman need exactly?
Depends. Lets look shall we? Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: $690million global, Spider-Man: No Way Home $1.9billion global. It seems that the world wants this stuff. You may not, but others do.
