Most women who are serious runners (as I used to be) have to be prepared for some level of harassment, sad as that is, and although that type of thing doesn’t often escalate into an attack, it could. It's actually technically a firearm in the UK. I was doing a couple of things at once. Have you ever used it? It's practically useless, it will fuck them up, but you in all likelihood as well. And it works less well on people with MH, drink, drugs etc. The people who maybe actually attacking you. Get a snooker ball in a sock instead.

Pretty bold statement from someone who has a permanent facial expression that I can only call quizzical. The man looks perpetually confused.

Used SING (the instep portion of which was conclusive - I was wearing chunky heels that packed a wallop and I ran before I even got to N). I don’t think anything like mace or a roll of quarters would have helped. I would have had to access them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, Mlle. Zabzie said: Airports tend to be public government owned property (though it is really complicated sometimes). Banning people for speech from the airport (especially political or politically adjacent speech) seems fraught. I agree airlines probably could ban someone for harassing other passengers. I can tell you I will never follow a politician, screaming obscene language at him, in an airport here in Canada. I suspect that I would get arrested and that a judge would more than likely draw a line between political or politically adjacent speech and and harasment, After sentencing me he or she would then tell me to write a letter to the editor the next time I get worked up. You had just posted this and I had started my response when the phone rang, and it was a lawyer friend of mine, and we talked about your post. He too has seen the video of Graham being followed in the airport and also would not reccommend doing that here in Canada. Or in the US. He figures Graham has paid off CNN to run the video over and over to show proof that he indeed is a moral and upright person, shocked, shocked he says, at the events from Wednesday.

Yeah I haven’t seen the video - if the person got close enough could be assault or equivalent, which is of course different. But if someone is in the public part of the terminal chanting in the person’s general direction ? Even if obscene I think that would probably get a pass here. I know our standards are a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter issues ominous warning of more pro-Trump violence to come: report https://www.rawstory.com/trump-violence/ In their statement, they wrote, "Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021," with the Washington Post adding that Twitter stated that two presidential tweets on Friday were "likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021."

I was getting the Donald's campaign emails for a while (never signed up, as I'm not a racist, so no idea how they got my email address) and basically every one was the same. Stoke outrage, ask for money, please don't read the fine print on where the money's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
