Photographers of an Arrogant nature

What's sort of beyond belief is your interacting with this woman. Seriously, if I were in your position at a pubic event, I'd just photograph. I'd only discuss photographing anyone if I was going to ask them to pose a certain way for a particular photograph. As for anyone else photographing in the same area, they have just as much "right" to do so as you do.

I read this article (not sure anyone else will) and find the situation behind the story to be completely different from a public performance in a pubic venue. This poor guy tried to take a photo of a couple in a private moment. Now that is bad photography etiquette. We should never intrude on private moments (one or both may have been cheating on a spouse for all the photographer knew). I don't think the photographer deserved to be beaten to a pulp but he clearly used poor judgement when he took that picture.

Kindness are often seen as weakness. I’m thankful we have good mannered people like you.
Maybe next time you get an answer like this take pics of this person and tell them the same

Arrogance knows no age limits, no generational bounderies, I know just as many of my age (old retired) & older/younger who fit that description, there might even be a couple on this venue. I know fine, upstanding, kind, compassionate parents who have produced horrible progeny, and complete and utter axxhxxx parents who somehow managed wonderful children...... Arrogance is a learned, or acquired behaivor, I doubt anyone is "born arrogant"...

"In the public domain" requires no permission even though it's polite to do so. For many years I have done photography for the NCSHP and several years ago there was a wreck on U.S. 1 right where some prisoners were picking up trash. While doing my wreck pictures a guard came up to me and said that I wasn't allowed to take photos of the prisoners since they had no option for being in my photos. I told him that he could take his argument up with the Highway Patrol and secondly that if the prisoners didn't want to be in the photos all they had to do was turn their backs to me. Funny...he didn't give me any more hassle after that.

By the long-established traditions of “street shooting” she was doing nothing wrong, and to my ears you sound just as arrogant.
My opinion exactly. The woman was simply doing what other people were doing as well, taking photos in the crowd and of the crowd. No problem at all. The OP sounds to me like the arrogant one trying to take ownership of his, "model" which was not his at all. Apparently the woman being photographed didn't seem to care or she would have said so. The OP asked but in reality he needn't have done so. He could have just as easily taken the photo without asking.
Our own street photographer submits photos every day of people and I doubt he asks their permission ever.

I offer that you have practice seeking an 'okay' from your subjects and this feels right to you. I applaud your caution and or restraint in shooting in public.
For the aggressive woman cell phone photographer, as pointed out by others, doesn't need permission. For you it is frustrating, but again, for you, you are doing it your way. Try to avoid shooting near her to reduce the number of times you see her aggression.

I would have photographed the other photographer and the joint subject - that would have been a better story.

I'm not sure what you were going for with your images, but if you want to catch spontaneous moments ... it's best to just fire away.
Subjects change if you make them aware you are recording.

I would not intentionally photograph an Amish person, period.
Kind of aside from the point, but for me I'd have to find an Amish or Orthodox Jew first to even have to think about that. I'm in California. But even here it is not cool to photograph children with out parental permission.
Again, personally, it might not be surprising I photograph Flowers and Sea Shells and Landscapes mainly. They don't complain or try to assault or sue you.

I'd say you are a polite and respectful person who does the right thing. In some circumstances you risk getting your head caved in if you act like the woman in question. Try taking some pictures at an Antifa rally without getting their okay on it and see what happens. Andy Ngo found out.
Keep doing what you're doing. You don't need to ask to take a picture in a public place but if you value your health it's a good idea.
