Sounds to me like you need to beat the shit out of the loudest one of them, make an example out of him, and they'll leave you alone. I'm serious. That's the way it works, unfortunately. Score a point for yourself, and get the assholes off your back. Deck on of 'em in the mouth the next time he tries to step on your feet. Hey, man, it's self-defense, he was trying to cause you injury. That was assault and battery, and you have the right to defend yourself from aggression. -Jeffrey
