And lo, Ally turns out to be more frightening than anyone else mentioned so far in this thread...

Are you new?

Women who get stalked in the U.S. get shit protection. The perp has to actually attack the woman in order for the cops to get serious.

Ally OTM, and you know what? He should know better. If his motivations are so doggone PURE (and he's not just a kerrrazy stalker), he ought to be aware that women do, to some degree, stay on their guard all the damn time so don't give them any more fucking nonsense to worry about. It brings to mind men of my acquaintance who have said, "but it's okay if I whistle at girls! I'm not dangerous/creepy/disrespectful!". Le sigh of LONGSUFFERING FURY. THEY don't know that, you short-sighted priviliged idiot, nor should they have to concern themselves for TWO SECONDS about whether you are or aren't a threat. If a woman even has to ask herself that question, you're doing something wrong.

Without condoning private vigilantism, I sympathise with the lady but I also think it's sad that the dude's so unable to read the woman that he thought this might lead to something.

The Christmas tree farm where we buy our tree every year was started up by a couple in tribute to their daughter, who was shot dead by her "boyfriend" in the middle of church one Sunday, a day after she tried to break up with him. They channel most everything after operating expenses to a foundation in her name, which gives mainly to women's shelters I believe. Every time I hear or read about romantic obsession I think about this girl. Creepy doesn't begin to cover it.

to briefly address your question ailsa: the scots law of breach of the peace is so flexible as to be able to be put towards any action which can be deemed to be disturbing to a member or members of the public; it's really a catch-all crime (it's because of this almost indeterminate nature of the crime that it's been taken to task quite a lot, from what I remember, in strasbourg). here's the definition from a quick scout around the internet (reads like macdonald to me but there's no citation) (found on an activists webpage no less):

conduct "genuinely alarming and disturbing, in its context, to any reasonable person ... it is clear that something substantially greater than mere irritation is involved"

so yeah - another one of our problematic criminal laws folx!!

tomorrow on 'cozen teaches the law of scotland' we'll deal with the (in)coherence of scots criminal law, specifically in relation to the collapsing of mens rea into the actus reus of murder by the epochal case of HMA Vs. drury

So you could be fined for eating an ice cream cone, alone, out on the street?

i was at mcdonald's the other day and quite fancied this girl, so i looked at her name badge and worked out what her name was.. it was kind of creepy actually wasn't it?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 23 December 2005 09:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't think that's creepy.

only if you're posting this from her computer now

I think I committed a breach of the peace on the train this morning listening to vitalic at top volume through my portapros

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:04 (eighteen years ago) link

if ken googled her, would that be creepy?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i think it's a fine law we could do with here. peace-wise, there are few 'reasonable people' in london, hence people breach the fuck out of it.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I've always find it weird to call people who believe in love on first sight as "romantics". If you fancy someone merely based on her appearance, isn't that rather shallow, and therefore the opposite of romantic? I consider myself a romantic, but I'd never fall for someone without even talking to her to first.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 23 December 2005 10:15 (eighteen years ago) link

if you fancy someone enough, you'll find ways of liking them, maybe. i don't know, it's complicated, appearances tell you quite a lot, really. but i don't think you have to oppose 'romantic' to 'shallow'.

I committed a breach of the peace on the train to Weybridge with a copy of the Sunday Sport.
