All this talk about their rights? What are the rights of the people that are taking precautions?

Joy Reid just showed a reporter's response to one of these stupid protesters, She said the woman kept coming close to her, yelling and spit flying even though she asked her to give her space. The woman told her she had no right to social distance.

Personally, I don't have the patience for stupidity. My days of being polite are long gone. If someone approaches me and is mocking me about my mask, and is all up in my space. They will get a Fuck you and get the fuck away from me response.

Given this pandemic - does anyone in this situation - have a case for harassment? This is exactly what this sounds like to me.
This woman refused to give the reporter space and told her she did not have a right to have the distance the reporter requested.

Any opinions on this?

Generally, criminal harassment entails intentionally targeting someone else with behavior that is meant to alarm, annoy, torment or terrorize them. Not all petty annoyances constitute harassment. Instead, most state laws require that the behavior cause a credible threat to the person's safety or their family's safety.

1. Stand Your Ground

Really should apply here....

R.I.P.

2. Well when someone gets up in your face when a

deadly virus is going around wouldn't you feel threatened. After all that guy in Florida shot and killed a guy for throwing popcorn at him in the movie theater. He was standing his ground. That asshole that murdered Travon Martin got off because he felt threatened by a black kid with Skittles.

3. I've stated this here before.

During this pandemic, if someone agressively, and with ill intent, got up in my face screaming, close enough for their breath to come in contact with me, and I told them to back off and they refused, I would knock them the fuck out and take my chances in the courts.

7. +1

Though more likely to find my foot refusing to acknowledge their space in return.

4. Their approach to this is identical to their approach to their guns

Their right to bear arms is more important than your right to live. They and their convenient ''thoughts and prayers'' leaders don't give a flying fuck about schoolchildren - why would they care about anyone else?

5. My response will be go gargle with bleach.

8. Or tell them they can

stand as close as they want after they drink a cup of bleach.

6. We should follow the method in brave new world...they all go on the reservation where they

Attack each other.
