We have loads of boats and guns in the water getting as close to Iran as they possibly can. If people were pacing outside my house with loaded weapons and loud speakers just daring me to stumble off my property and onto the public area, and one of my friends just got tired of the people pacing and went up and yelled at a pacer, I'm not sure how much effort I would go to in order to explain my friend's actions either. It is going to happen again and again and no matter what I say the stalkers aren't going away.
