- Unfortunately, that's true. However, some states, like Washington, have
- laws which can be used to stop or prevent the tactics that you've described
- these people using. It's commonly called a Stalking Law, and a person can
- be arrested for following someone, and generally harassing them. It's been
- or being put to the test now.
-
- Stalking someone and/or their family to stop them from doing a legal action
- is illegal in this state. I hope those criminals who stalked that doctor
- in Texas realize that. (hummm, isn't Texas supposed to be George Bush's
- home state--or so he claims? No wonder.)

- I don't approve of illegal tactics, on either side. However, I understand
- your frustration and anger. We should work within the legal system to stop
- these radicals.
