That's why I advocate making fun of him instead of having an angry confrontation. Let everyone around him know what a contemptible, pathetic little worm he is. If you shout and scream, you get arrested yourself, but if you are choking with laughter and trying to drag other people into the contemptuous, derisive laughter, there are no grounds for arrest. Being laughed at is far harder on someone's ego and far more likely to make them go hide.
