The incident involved the protester repeatedly demanding Baldwin to vocalize "Free Palestine" while he was at the cash register, prompting Baldwin to take action.
Relentless Harassment
The footage reveals the protester persistently urging Baldwin to say "Free Palestine" despite his reluctance. The protester, known for hosting an "anti-fascist" show, continued to confront Baldwin, even bringing up his ongoing legal case regarding the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust" in New Mexico.
Accusations and Verbal Altercation
Accusing Baldwin of murder and labeling him a "criminal," the protester escalated the situation, prompting Baldwin to attempt to defuse the confrontation by motioning for her to leave. The protester's accusations and aggressive behavior persisted, leading Baldwin to seek assistance from a coffee shop employee.
Confrontation Escalates
Despite attempts by a worker to intervene, the protester continued her harassment. Baldwin, visibly perturbed, eventually resorted to smacking the protester's phone after what seemed like an attempt to seek help from the employee.
Uncertain Timeline
The exact timing of the encounter remains unclear, as the video does not provide a timestamp. However, it is evident that Baldwin found himself in another altercation with anti-Israel activists, reminiscent of a previous incident where he faced similar protests and scrutiny.
Previous Encounters
This encounter adds to a series of confrontations Baldwin has had with anti-Israel activists, including a previous incident where he faced hecklers questioning his stance on Israel. Baldwin's response, expressing support for peace in Gaza, left the activists dissatisfied.
