If you start to follow people around in public space while yelling at them loudly or threatening them, the police will eventually stop by, id you and possibly order you to leave the place or arrest you (depending on whether you are drunk and what exactly is being said). Also, if you happen to be not in town, but in mall or other privately owned space, security will kick you out pretty soon.

Generally speaking, a lot of what goes on twitter does not actually goes on in person.

Sure they do - I don’t like it but it happens all the time.

Think of all the protestors who show up on campus whenever a conservative is invited to speak.
