Creeping up step by step and looming over a lady is not de-escalating.
it's not possible for him not to loom. He's 6'2" or something. Walking slowly isn't creeping if they're watching you the whole time.
I'm sure he was counting on some type of intimidation to help, yes, but it obviously didn't and he seemed to get right away he wasn't going to cool her off, so he stopped trying.
He's not a personal hero or anything, he's some gestapo-adjacent heavy. I'm just saying. He didn't make it much worse like NYY boy did.
