Meanwhile, stalkers continue to get away with loitering around and walking up and down outside their victims' homes, workplaces, the victims' childrens' schools etc whilst thinking thoughts that amount to actual de facto criminal activity. Yes, certainly, one law for one and the lack of law for another in our society.

@pmrose18 I guessed there would have been a backstory. But there have always been laws that police can use to move people on, stop them loitering. The immensely disturbing and sinister aspect here is that she was arrested for just thinking.

@muzzthegreat You highlight a key difference. Stalkers target individuals - and the police are not interested in individual victims. The woman who was arrested for perhaps thinking/praying was perceived to be committing a crime against an element of the prevailing ideology.

@kimy123nicholas 👍 I reckon you're onto something there!

@psychologicalprojectionist Joining the police does not work. You have to go along to get along. You'd never be promoted if you didn't adopt the current orthodoxy. I know someone who actually did that. He's lost to the majority of society now.

@kevinheath7588 I'm not sure that I understand your point. If a woman commits a crime then of course she should be arrested and charged. About 40% of stalkers are women. Police arrest very very few stalkers of either sex.

@tomhollins5303 Bizarrely, the police aren't keen on honest, decent folk. Seen it too often in the last few decades.

@DJWESG1 Oddly enough, I have wondered about that possibility given the high incidence and prevalence of the crime and the way the police most often ignore it (only 5% of all cases are prosecuted). Coupled with the profile of some victims. Evidence needed though.

@psychologicalprojectionist I think you may have missed my sarcastic tone in my previous post. Like you, I would think that the arrested woman is known to the authorities. It seems like she would have known or ought to have known that standing in the vicinity of this clinic on more than one occasion would be of some concern to the staff and clients. I'm not altogether sure that anyone these days would get away scot free in circumstances that could be construed as an anti-abortion clinic protest - even if silent and all in the mind! We're living in an increasingly politicised and partial world. It sounds like you are not so familiar with how the police work nowadays. I envy your faith in their fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality whilst upholding fundamental human rights and according equal respect to all people. I only wish that they actually did.
