I have emboldened the two pertinent clauses.
I see. Thank you for clarifying.

Quote:c) As used in this section—
(1) the term “harassment” means a course of conduct directed at a specific person that—
(A) causes substantial emotional distress in such person; and
(B) serves no legitimate purpose; and
(2) the term “course of conduct” means a series of acts over a period of time, however short, indicating a continuity of purpose.
I just wanted to ask, though. They've been picketing the funerals of veterans. The soldiers' parents have expressed their emotional hurt afterwards. Wouldn't this classify as harrassment?
