I worked with Steve Buscemi's cousin...

i have to agree with andreas here

sounds to me like the opening post person is spoiling for a fight, and looking for a reason to justify it

I would not expect a man I was dating to handle my ex unless he posed a physical threat to him. Then it would be a matter of self-defense. Restraining orders and calling the police would be the first thing I would do. If he continues to violate them and I feel my life may be in danger then I'm taking matters into my own hands.............yes, that!

I would not go so far as to say "Physical violence never solves anything." In rare occasions it can be a useful method of communicating with certain types of people who do not respond well to words.

For example if some guy is assaulting her, I am not going to stand there yelling: "Stop! Stop immediately! Please stop! I implore you to stop!"

As a last resort, yes. I'd tell him "Look bro, you fumbled the ball and I recovered for a TD. Take your loss and keep moving. After that and he still kept harassing her, I'd go see about him and that's real. At the same time, I'd ask her if she's giving mixed signals like she wants the attention b/c women do thrive on that.

Whoa! I think you need to chill a bit on that Sierra. You are going waaaay off the deep end on this. Who said anything about being raped and killed? The OP said the guy just keeps calling and showing up where she is. He didnt mention anything about it going further. And, as I have said before, if she's smart, she would get a restraining order against the guy, if she's stupid, she wont. Simple as that.

Still, I would not get into a "physical fight" with a guy just because he keeps calling and showing up where we/the girl is. If he approaches her in a threatening manner, of course I wouldnt allow him to hurt her, but knowing the OP, he's referring to a "keeping it real" type thing. Not something someone your typical Jewish guy or Stanford graduate would do - fight a dude because he keeps calling a girl I am seeing. It would be stupid, ignorant and Im pretty sure assault which is against the law to "physically confront/fight" a guy just because he's calling her.

Not if she has not told him to f off yet.

For all you know she is playing you and him. "Keeps following" is a good excuse to keep her out of trouble. If he is actually a nut, confrontation will only increase your problems and maybe make the 6oclock news. Recently here in pittsburgh someone ran down a third party in a love triangle. Don't think you want that to be you.

Dump em both
