Is Harassment of Public Figures Acceptable: Your Sincere Opinion

No, it is not. I would compare Trump's statement to Obama's about "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." and "argue with your neighbors and get in their faces". Examples and counter examples of hyperbolic rhetoric are not what I am trying to discuss. Each side thinks the other sides offense and provocations are the worse. I'm also not talking about politically charged people at rallies, or while protesting, or at demonstrations getting into altercations unless they have actually organized to do so. I'm talking about activists stalking and confronting notable public officials who are engaged in their private daily activities.
