I still think the best option is to encourage self-help in cases such as these. There's no better way to discourage nut-jobs from going after people than to help the people gone-after from defending themselves. That's the whole point of having an informed, self-sufficient citizenry. We shouldn't need the police to hold hands of people; we need them only when something has happened that ordinary people can't help. If he's violating the restraining order, shoot him. Or sue him.
