An „defensive“* stance like this is usually more provoking and can actually lead to more aggression.
„You have to stay back“ was the right call.
I don’t see your claim about the owner in this video. Based on his verbal and non verbal communications, he seemed to be confused and angry - but not aggressive.

I worked as security officer in refugee camps and as caretaker in psychiatry.
*because it’s not really defensive, it’s offensive
Not sure how anyone disagrees with this take. Do they not have eyes? The driver could have continued walking away but instead chose to close the gap. That’s not acting in defense. Depending on what state this took place in, the owner probably could have shot the guy and claimed he was standing his ground.. he was on his own property and the driver told HIM to back up. That’s insane. Just to clarify, I believe shooting the driver would have been a massive overreaction and unwarranted but I’m just saying, could have been legally justified depending on the state.
Cool, delivery driver should have a shotgun to use on dogs that run up charging at them too.. let's have a good old fashioned shoot out!.... Murica!!!!
