QUESTION
Am I being harassed if my neighbor is extremely hateful and I feel his comments are making fun of me?
Asked on Mar 28th, 2014 on Personal Injury - California
More details to this question:
I’m disabled mentally and physically. Is being mean anything more than just being mean? He has me so stressed out. I do my best to avoid him because of how he makes me feel. He yells and is just so hateful. I’m afraid to say anything back other than just saying OK.

You might be a candidate for a restraining order. Some courts have free assistance.

People that pick on people who have "issues" are weak. They cannot deal with people who can and will fight back. Ignore him. He is not worth responding to. Don't look at him, don't talk to him, don't acknowledge that he exists. He is not worth it. If his comments become actions, then go to court and get a personal protection order so that if he violates the order, the police will arrest him and charge him with a crime.

You should stand up to that bully by complaining to the police and courts. You should consider applying for a temporary protective order against the bully. You could also sue him for emotional distress.

You might be able to get a protective order if he threatens you in any way. It won't hurt to go to the court and tell the court in the document what he has said to you. Given the circumstances, the court might order him to stay away from you.

You can get a restraining order against him. See the court clerk for the required form.

You need to provide more facts of what he is doing for a lawyer to determine whether it constitutes harassment such that you could get a restraining order against him. Re-post with more facts of what he is actually doing and saying to you and how he does it. Does he come on your property? Does he step toward you? etc.

It does not sound like actionable harassment.
