"While at the precinct, James was interrogated by defendant officers, who kept asking James to provide them with information concerning drugs and guns in his neighborhood "

Break, baby, break!

Yeah, it didn't come up in my most recent background check, so I'm hopefully okay? I also have a whole dossier of stuff proving I'm not her and she's not me.

I had a similar problem when I was in college, where I almost lost my scholarship because of an underage drinking violation...garnered by another student with the same name, while I was out of the country doing my semester abroad. They had this "We've ultimately decided to renew your scholarship, but we're very…

Better watch out: if she gets too uppity, she'll be facing seven years in prison soon.

While black yes. It's illegal to be black actually.

I once failed a employment background check because a woman in another state with the same name and birthdate as me had three active felony warrants. Ten minutes of googling confirmed that she'd been murdered by her boyfriend shortly after the warrants were issued. So I'm not surprised that arrest warrants issued…

I know that feel. My eyebrows mostly wash off....

To be fair, it was Nice Guys who won the Nice Guy title for themselves.

Nice is being used ironically, btw.

I don't think the person cares that awkward/creeper stops being awkward or a creeper, they just want them to awkward and creep somewhere the hell away from them.

These are all good suggestions, and they're pretty much what we do. I think the outcry is more about the fact that responses to these threads, even from well-meaning, upstanding men, are usually about what We should do to solve the problem once it starts, and not about how the guys doing it are out of line.

I think…

Because the person shouldn't be doing the unacceptable behavior in the first place. This goes with all unacceptable behavior, constantly hovering over a person and trying to prevent them from engaging others in conversation is poor behavior. Are you really saying that a person can do whatever up until the point that…

Or he could be creepy. Or he could be a rapist. Or he could be a serial killer.

If you want an immediate confirmation or rejection, you need to solicit one. Human interaction is complex, and gradient, and highly imprecise, for sure, but it's hypocritical at every level to expect someone else to be direct with you if you haven't been direct with them.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and, while I at one time had difficulty understanding social cues, have worked hard to be more receptive. I know on a rational level what is and what is not appropriate, even if I may not immediately grasp why.

There are numerous projects online where women can speak freely about their experiences with harassment. Physical violence is very common.

People communicate more things with body language and tone of voice than with the actual words spoken. There has been research about this for over a century.

Everyone I know with Asperger's learns all about facial expressions and social nuances (to make up for not knowing initially), and are better at it than I am.

Hints are communication, it's just a social norm that some people are oblivious to. Seems odd, though, that instead of taking advice and learning to pick up on obvious body language, you'd rather insult anyone using it as being inhuman.
