Ivy Leaguer Emma Watson, a freshman at Brown, was stalked and harassed by more than a few jerks hailing from rival Ivy League Harvard. Watson was in Cambridge for a Harvard v. Brown game where she appeared "quite shaken" as she was flanked by body guards according to Page Six. The stalking and harassment was coordinated by the Harvard Voice, the school's student magazine. The plan was to draw as much attention to the starlet as possible in hopes to get her riled up.
Before the game, a blog post on the mag's Web site said: "We will be Live-Tweetin' the game and possibly stalking Emma Watson, so keep your eyes peeled for that, too!" A succession of tweets posted on the Voice's Twitter account during the game followed, including, "Let's go Hermione! Lolz," a reference to Watson's character in "Harry Potter." It went on, "In enemy territory. Lookin for a certain witch," and, "WATSON FOUND. i repeat WATSON FOUND."
Following the game, which Harvard won 24-21, the magazine posted a photo of Watson on their website and called the stalking campaign a "success."
The Voice eventually attached an editor's note to its post of Watson's photo, saying, "There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown."
You would think that with the audacity of such a stalking stunt The Voice would be, at least, fairly legitimate but after perusing their website it's pretty clear that these kids are nothing more than nouveau riche scum with enough cash to throw around that actual talent isn't a necessity for working for the publication.

Unfortunately stalking and harassing women has been legitimized in our society.
I hope Harvard takes some action, but if they do I will be surprised.

Gangstalking is a reality. And if you have a few hours to read about it, there is plenty on the internet. Start with reading about what David Lawson wrote. He was a gangstalker who wrote an expose of the methodology and philosolphy.

This is just wrong and unacceptable. These are college students from where? They are our future? Is this what Harvard produces now? Sad really really sad. Let's not mention, we, as a nation, already have some imagine loss in the international circle. I just spent six months in Prague as an international student, showing people we are civilized and caring...Thanks Harvard!

How despicable! Emma, like the rest of us, is a human being...just because she plays a role in a movie is absolutely no indication of who she is as a person in real life. Those jealous of her success and think it's cute to pull this stunt should be dismissed from the university (I'm not holding my breath). Most of us are totally disgusted with the lack of education these days turned out by progressive (i.e. communists) on our faculties. Recently "evil" Fox News did a man-on-the-street at Cal-Jerkley asking students at random who their favorite president was--and to make the question even harder--they asked why? You'd have thought the Fox reporter had asked for an explaination of Einstein's Theory of Reativity! The deer-in-the-headlings look was stunning. Some did managed to blurt out "Lincoln" while one girl mentioned Benjamin Franklin, who--just in case anyone from Harvard is reading this--was NOT a president! It's ignorance like this that's gotten us the Marxist megalomanic in the White House along with some of the other moonbats in Congress. If we don't start teaching readin', and writin', and 'rithmatic again (toss in some civics) we're doomed. Way to go Harvard--living down to your standards again in what was once America's premier university named for a Christian--a clergyman, no less. Seems to me like even the mythical Hogwarts has it all over you guys--they actually celebrate Christmas and Easter there. One more civics lesson Harvarites--there is no such thing as separation of church and state in the United States Constitution. In Hitler's immortal words: repeat a lie long enough and people start to believe it.
