None of us know the exact details how it went down, what floor, how close to an exit, etc. but don't pretend that spray and run is never a viable strategy, especially in a relatively well trafficked part of town in broad daylight.
Who is talking about fighting them? Pepper spray isn't for subduing it is literally just to disorient to give you a chance to get away.
Obviously a gun is better but the point of pepper spray is if you are forced by your employer/state to otherwise disarm yourself it is better than nothing.

Well said.
It’s another tool in your tool belt, plain and simple. Better to have it and not need it, and all that.

In addition, some pepper sprays are UV marking so the attacker can be identified later. Even if you don't score a direct hit to the face, the attacker is marked and won't know it until the cops shine a black light on them.
