What would YOU do? I'm almost afraid of the answer....

If they aren't right up in my face or in any other way preventing me from leaving the area, then I ignore them and go on my way.
If I'm being hindered from leaving the area, then I have every right to use the necessary force to move them so that I can leave.
But that doesn't cover the issue of somebody having the 'right' to not be verbally abused'. If we actually had that right, then we'd also have a legal defense to prosecution if we took violent measures to stop that abuse, would we not? Therefore, nobody actually has a 'right' to not be verbally abused, just like nobody has a 'right' not to be lied to.
