Newspaper editorial on assault in Montana

[Rich]

Perhaps.

But I'd like to see law enforcement step it up in general.

One of the most common things I hear is -- there are already laws on the books.

Yet fans think they have the right to come to my car and scream and swear at me after a baseball game while I'm undressing in the parking lot.

This is assault. When I suggested that once to a policeman and asked him to get rid of these idiots, I was laughed at. I then asked him what would happen if someone came up and screamed and swore at him after he got done directing traffic and told him how horrible he was. The officer told me that person would be arrested.

What's the difference?
