But the start of this branch of the thread was that the "victim" should have stood up and fought, rather than running to the press. I do have a fear of taking photos of people, especially of kids, as I have already once been "heavied" just for being at a sporting ground while a game was on. It was not nice, and the more I stood up to them the worse it got.
I actually feel that publicising this stuff, and showing the ridiculousness of the situation, is the best way of dealing with it.
Regarding whether one should be in fear, all the things you say may happen to you. But if you knew you had a really dodgy ticker or other high risk factor in your life, you may well be in fear.
If rootbeer gets into situations where he may be attacked, then he has a right to fear it.
I tend to simply stay away. Some people have no choice.
