Arresting someone and telling them to go away are two very different things. With the second one, there’s usually a reason the cop can come up with besides what the creep was actually doing for arresting the guy.

A series of actions like following someone for quite some time and repeatedly ignoring their words to go away? Or more than that?

Star for an excellently-thought out point.

When human emotion becomes involved, reasonable doesn’t necessarily indicate rational. Unfortunately, humans are not rational beings. The rational response to my opening post would be reading my name or that post in my profile, realizing there’s a good chance I’m trolling, and then ignoring me. The reasonable response…

This.

“Reasonable” and “rational” are two very different things, unfortunately.

It’s wheel spinning. Take a look at how many of the articles on this site in the past have complained about the same events over and over, only with different people... and the complaints are often in the same exact tone. Everyone makes a lot of noise, a lot of complaints, it quiets down... and then it crops up again…

Which is why I shouldn’t exaggerate when making a post.

From this article and others? Yes, it looks like he told her to stop following him.

I’m sorry for your experience. I hope you never have to go through that again.

Massachusetts is the state where upskirting was ruled legal in a court of law. Needless to say, they changed the law, but as this story covers, the current law has a loophole in it in that there must be a reasonable chance someone cannot see up or down the clothing.

Starred to bring out of the greys.

Someone coming at you, yelling and making it clear they might be out for some kind of vengeance, is pretty much a reasonable fear of serious bodily harm.

Or you completely missed my point.

Do I have to change my name to “Lesbian Woman” before it becomes obvious?

Good. You’ll pass out, fall down, and start breathing again. And then you’ll wake up with a headache.

The guy, obviously. Legal creepiness is still creepiness.

Yes, I do.

Going by actual court rulings? You may have that backwards.

Starred for a good reply. I was using hyperbole.
