For this collaboration, I documented along with @sidewalks2269 on the public sidewalk recording the happenings at Peet's coffee and a neighboring dining establishment. There were two people who stood out the most on this day. The first individual came to confront us claiming we were recording kids, which was a lie. He kept going on & on about if it turns out that kids appear on the video then we'd be having a different conversation. He even dared us to go record the kids inside the Taekwondo/Jiu Jitsu business across the street. I became concerned about his obsessive fascination about kids. I suggested if someone doesn't want their child to be seen in public, they could place a paper bag over the child's head (giving a visual example in the video). He then drove off, but would soon return multiple times. After we wrapped up the audit & returned to my vehicle, I have placed my main camera in the back seat with my cellular device mounted near the center console . Another individual Came up on the passenger side knocking on the window with his camera phone up against the window. Sidewalks22 got out to begin documenting, as well as I did, grabbing my camera phone that was mounted & began recording myself. This individual's main fascination appeared to be that I'm transgender & Sidewalks22 is Puerto Rican. He them claimed we were harassing & threatening American citizens & that's when I established we were doing nothing illegal & capturing life as it happens. Eventually after 78 minutes of going back & forth, The individual spewing his phobic rhetoric, returned to his vehicle where I returned the energy I got, by knocking on his passenger window with my camera phone near his window as he soon drove off.
