No, what these skunks are doing is just trying to move away from you. They usually only "fire" as a last resort. Not even skunks like the odor of skunk.
I guess not even skunks like the sight of slow moving bright lights. I used to say hi to the one I saw last year, and that one kept going away from me too. I can handle not being that appealing to them though.
