Personal space is a sacred thing.
After letting him know he was making her uncomfortable, she eventually lashed out at him.
Now shes asking netizens if she was a jerk for doing so.
He was following her quite closely and obviously not shopping for anything.
Uncomfortable with the situation, OP hurriedly checked out.
But what does the law say about her decisive action?
Self-defense law is morecomplicatedthan you might think.
These rules also define how much force a victim can use to protect themselves.
To determine whether or not self-defense is justified, certain legal questions need to be asked and answered.
For instance, was the threat imminent?
Was the fear of harm reasonable?
Was it a proportional response, and was there a duty to retreat before taking self-defensive action?
Let the person harassing you know exactly what you want them to do and why.
Make eye contact and criticize their behavior with a firm tone of voice.
Then theres always documenting the situation.
Bored Pandacaught up with OP to ask her a few questions.
