If I have beef with someone, I could punch them and go to jail.

But I can also bully them, humiliate them, degrade them, psychologically annihilate them even, and that’s fine, legallly. Why?

    It’s possible, but unlikely because there needs to be proof and it needs to be extremely serious. That is the reason I mentioned death threats, actually.

    The biggest problem is that even though harassment is clearly defined in my state, “harassment” is still likely subjective.
