Persistent threatening behaviour by one person against another. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 creates two offences relating to stalking. If the harasser's behaviour makes the victim fear for his or her safety, the maximum penalty is two years' imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. When the behaviour does not lead to a fear of violence but does cause distress, the maximum penalty is six months in prison and/or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum. The behaviour must have taken place on more than one occasion and the prosecution must show that a reasonable person would realize that the behaviour would have the effect of causing the victim to fear violence or feel harassed (Kelly v DPP ( 2002 ) 166 JP 621). Both offences are immediately arrestable without a warrant, and the police have power to search the harasser's property. The courts may make a restraining order immediately after convicting a person of either of the two offences. In Scotland the common law has always provided protection against stalking through the offence of breach of the peace.
Stalking first attracted widespread public concern when a young actress named Rebecca Shaeffer, who was living in California, was shot to death by an obsessed fan who had stalked her for two years.

In general, stalking victims are women from all walks of life. Some are trying to end a relationship with a man, often one who has been abusive. The persons involved may be married or divorced or may have been sexual partners. In other cases the stalker and the victim may know one another casually or be associated in an informal or formal way. For example, they may have had one or two dates or talked briefly but were not sexual partners, or they may be coworkers or former coworkers. In a small number of situations, the stalker and the victim do not know one another. Cases involving celebrities and other public figures usually fall into this category.
At the federal level, a number of statutes have been enacted to protect victims of stalkers. These include the Full Faith and Protection provisions of the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (18 U.S.C.A. § 2265–2266 2000), which mandate nationwide enforcement of orders of protection, including harassment and stalking, and the Interstate Stalking Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A 1996), which makes it a criminal offense to travel across state lines to stalk another person. The act also makes it a crime to stalk a person across state lines using mail, E-MAIL, or the INTERNET. Such crimes are punishable from five years to life in prison.

Get the this thot on my body she tryna harass me boy in the back you cannot pass me run to the back and i feel like a athlete, she said that ice said im movin too flashymug. Nonononono. It's isn't my criminality that is getting your kids threatened. YOU ARE DOING THE HARASSMENT FIRST. And now I know for a fact that a slew of YouTube faggots are watching it happen and participating in it and now if I don't get a pay out you lose one of your kids. You take their plausible deniability away from them or I'll take one of your kids away from you. It isn't a mental illness to say that. They are not all that important. Evidenced by the fact that the JEWS are blowing them up and shooting them in the face, daily. So fuck your kids. Fuck your retarded, piece of shit kids in the face. It resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia. It alludes to a broader from or surveillance and information/misinformation sharing about me. I'm not going to a site to get it removed. I'm not bringing you evidence that I can tell you already have. I'm not letting you wait for evidence. You get your fat ass over here and YOU being ME the evidence you fucking whore. I swear to your Jewish fucking incest God I will grab and stab the shit out of one of these little bastards so fucking fast it'll make your head spin.
Hym "Nooooooooo... You are doing the harassment... And then you're getting killed for it. That IS the order of forms. You've likely already gotten one of your schools shot up for it. If don't give a fuck if you think there is no justification for killing a child or anyone, you are letting the Jews do it and you're paying them to do it. The TARGET doesn't matter. I don't give a fuck if the Jews are TRYING to kill kids and are just doing it accidentally. If they can find an excuse that I can too. None of that if justification for indefinite harassment for which you are actively barring me from seeking legal recourse. So I won't. I'm not seeking it now. I'm demanding it. You bring your fat ass down here and you BRING ME THE LEGAL RECOURSE ON A SILVER FUCKING PLATTER... OR... You can LIE TO THE PARENTS AGAIN... And tell them it was the brain infection INSTEAD OF THE HARASSMENT."

Get the Harassmentmug. Who did I harass? This fucking goateed midget is OBSESSED with me! He's in love with me! Seriously! Joe, if you end up killing me for threatening you kids, make sure you send this guy my skin so he can finish the transformation, holy shit! His WHOLE LIFE is ABOUT me, dawg! This is wild! If you told me that he had some overies impanted in his prostate so that I could breed him.... I would believe you.
Hym "OOOOH! DEFENDER OF WOMEN! THAT GOLDEN CAMPION WE ALL NEED! HE'S DEFENDING WOMEN FROM HARASSMENT! Okokok, so listen... I'm at work last night, right? And this guy comes in claiming to have been assaulted, right? And my coworker starts freaking out on this guy. Screaming at him to get out. And his justification for it is 'He harasses women!' And it's like... You are a middle aged gas station worker and the fattest, grosses, baldest, fish-mouthed piece of shit on the planet. You are not 'defender of women.' He is just the worst fucking communist snitch you would ever fucking meet in your life. Thank whatever God you pray to that we aren't in Nazi Germany because this fucking guy would rat a Jew out for a... Sheckle? Is that the Jew money? It's always the fat fucks isn't it? Literally, the guy who is most invested in whether or not women are being harassed is the least attractive or fattest man in the room. 'He HaRaSsEs WoMeN!' Get the fuck out of here, fat-shit."
