I doubt it would be eating if it were rabid.
Maybe it’s drunk. Squirrels are tough animals. Could just be a mean drunk.
Good point. The excerpt only says the people were “walking”, but they may have been eating, too. The squirrel may just be demanding to be given what they have - kind of like Democrats.
Probably not in the SF Bay area.

Family member was camping a few years ago and a squirrel found a way into her locked trunk from below the car, and ate all sorts of stored food in there. They are nutty creatures for sure, around here they like to run across the road on telephone wires and they are pretty good at it, also they can run vertically up the sides of buildings (sometimes). I don’t think they are playing for our team in the spiritual battle though. Dogs may be.
Could be that someone regularly fed it, and stopped showing up. It’s fall...fattening up time for squirrels.

They're coming for your nuts..........
Rockey the flying squirrel gives a nod and a tail fliping.
I see the joke went over your head.
Sorry, pal—I got it.

I’ve never been attacked by a squirrel but I would think it would be easy to defend. Grab and throw to the ground as hard as possible followed by a stomp on it’s head.
Ah so you just don’t have a sense of humor. Got it.
My God, you’re a pain in the butt.
I’m sorry I responded to you at all.
