It makes me kinda sad that if this were to happen in my country (Peru), the police wouldn't do anything under the pretext that the suspect hasn't actually done anything.

I am not defending him because it starts like this and sometimes ends horribly bad... but what did he really do? other than wrote something on dirt (didn't even destroy her paint) and broke an egg on her car? In 80s I remember it was a normal thing to take few dozen of eggs to any street manifest and throw them at cops, other groups, etc. Insane how soy late snowflake weak people became these days.
I have no idea why you’re trying so hard to defend a stalker throughout this thread.

He was driving a considerable distance, on repeated occasions, while concealing his appearance, to harass someone. That’s not “snowflake” ethics - it’s wrong, full stop

It doesn’t matter how he chose to harass them, or whether the level of property damage was beyond a line you consider unacceptable.

You're not allowed to harass people. With it being targeted, that's what this is. Also, you JUST acknowledged that these sorts of incidents have a history of escalating.
Where did I say he act accordingly with the law?

And acknowledging something does not make it a rule. People who drink and drive do cause more accidents. But not every drunk person will cause an accident.
