Do You Think This Freep Is Violating The Stalking Laws Of His State?

[DistressedAmerican]

I have been repeatedly contacted by e-mail be a freep that says things like:
"Stop the abuses of the Southern USA! Kill those douchebag Yankees!
I'm distressed that you're an American. And your ideas suck.
Also, you abuse exclamation points!!!!! Asshole."

I have gotten several and tracked them right back to their source, One Preston Coleman a serial e-mail harasser. I have found other blog posts by others he was stalking by e-mail and phone (see below).

So here's my question: Do you think I have a case against this guy? I will be contacting the local authorities soon. This guy is clearly a wack job.

I'd love to see a freep arrested over this classic freep behavior. Maybe it would slow some of them down?


Here is the statute:
§ 16-5-90. Stalking; psychological evaluation. 1993. Amended 2000.

(a) (1) A person commits the offense of stalking when he or she follows, places under surveillance, or contacts another person at or about a place or places without the consent of the other person for the purpose of harassing and intimidating the other person. For the purpose of this article, the terms "computer" and "computer network" shall have the same meanings as set out in Code Section 16-9-92; the term "contact" shall mean any communication including without being limited to communication in person, by telephone, by mail, by broadcast, by computer, by computer network, or by any other electronic device; and the place or places that contact by telephone, mail, broadcast, computer, computer network, or any other electronic device is deemed to occur shall be the place or places where such communication is received. For the purpose of this article, the term "place or places" shall include any public or private property occupied by the victim other than the residence of the defendant. For the purposes of this article, the term "harassing and intimidating" means a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person which causes emotional distress by placing such person in reasonable fear for such person's safety or the safety of a member of his or her immediate family, by establishing a pattern of harassing and intimidating behavior, and which serves no legitimate purpose. This Code section shall not be construed to require that an overt threat of death or bodily injury has been made.

(2) A person commits the offense of stalking when such person, in violation of a bond to keep the peace posted pursuant to Code Section 17-6-110, standing order issued under Code Section 19-1-1, temporary restraining order, temporary protective order, permanent restraining order, permanent protective order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction or condition of pretrial release, condition of probation, or condition of parole in effect prohibiting the harassment or intimidation of another person, broadcasts or publishes, including electronic publication, the picture, name, address, or phone number of a person for whose benefit the bond, order, or condition was made and without such person's consent in such a manner that causes other persons to harass or intimidate such person and the person making the broadcast or publication knew or had reason to believe that such broadcast or publication would cause such person to be harassed or intimidated by others.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, a person who commits the offense of stalking is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(c) Upon the second conviction, and all subsequent convictions, for stalking the defendant shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years.
(d) Before sentencing a defendant for any conviction of stalking under this Code section or aggravated stalking under Code Section 16-5-91, the sentencing judge may require psychological evaluation of the offender and shall consider the entire criminal record of the offender. At the time of sentencing, the judge is authorized to issue a permanent restraining order against the offender to protect the person stalked and the members of such person's immediate family,
and the judge is authorized to require psychological treatment of the offender as a part of the sentence, or as a condition for suspension or stay of sentence, or for probation.

§ 16-5-91. Aggravated stalking. 1993. Amended 2002.

Proof that this guy makes this a full time effort:

Preston Coleman is now a stalker

"I just may have to come up there to Chicago and teach you a lesson, son." That's part of the message Preston Coleman, the now felon, left on my answering machine this morning. Why, I believe that was a threat, which constitutes assault in most states. Not to mention a few other statist laws. But I don't wish jail on someone for phone harrassment, so I'll let him off the hook for now. You'd think the idiot (now I'll call him that) would block his Georgia phone number 706-789-3265 from caller id. If I played his thick-neck threatening people game, I'd call the number and probably find it's a pay phone so he doesn't get his mommy and daddy in trouble for using their phone to committ crimes. Then again, he's probably not smart enough to figure that out. I saved the message to play for authorities if he keeps at it. Not a smart felon at all this Preston Coleman is. I hope he does make a trip up to Chicago to "teach me a lesson" because he'll be an idiot yet again when he figures out I'm about 3-1/2 hours away from Chicago.

While I'm at it, Preston Coleman is claiming he's getting 10,000 hits a day at his lame website. I'll admit he has some entertaining things there, but it looks even more amateurish than this site does. So I looked up his website at Alexa to see where his oh-so-popular website ranks.

His traffic rank is 4,247,393. (I won't be linking to his site, but you'll figure it out if you check Alexa's ranking.)

So I thought I'd compare it with my website to maybe get an idea what kind of traffic his "ground breaking" website is getting.

My website ranked 693,925.

Hmmm. Seems Preston Coleman needs to pass more than 3.5 MILLION websites before he's getting more traffic than I am. And I don't spam people to advertise this site. And I don't think this site is really anything special at all. My "hits" are about 1,700 a day in August, and we all know "hits" don't mean a darn thing. Sitemeter says I get about 75 visits a day and my Awstats says I'm averaging 115 a day in August. So that means Preston Coleman is getting maybe, MAYBE, 15 visits a day total, and half of that is probably himself. So Preston Coleman is a spammer, a stalker, a felon, a fraud, and a LIAR. Certainly NOT a libertarian.

Sounds like just the thing to get this freep the attention he craves. Hello local police!

What do you think? Is there a possible case here?
