	NAP or not, sometimes you just get your ass kicked, and nobody really has a problem with it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: NAP's solution to harassment of old person on street?</title><link>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/508112.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 05:12:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:508112</guid><dc:creator>Wheylous</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/508112.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://mises.org/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=508112</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;
	Yeah, I can imagine rules against stalking on the streets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>NAP's solution to harassment of old person on street?</title><link>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/508078.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:06:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:508078</guid><dc:creator>Blargg</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/508078.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://mises.org/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=508078</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;
	I saw a clip of some (fortunately staged) people verbally harassing a couple of individual old people in the street. There were no threats of violence, just put-downs. Let&amp;#39;s say that these people followed the old person as long as they could in public space and continued. How would the NAP address this?&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	What I&amp;#39;ve come up with: Since it&amp;#39;s just verbal put-downs, it&amp;#39;s not a volation of the NAP, so the old person has no justification for using force. The old person could thus learn how to ignore it. In a society with all private ownership, owners of streets/sidewalks could take action against harassers, since their customers wouldn&amp;#39;t like it if they tolerated it.&lt;br /&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
