It’s possible, but unlikely because there needs to be proof and it probably needs to be extremely serious. That is the reason I mentioned death threats, actually.
The biggest problem is that even though harassment is clearly defined in my state, “harassment” is still likely subjective.

If it’s in the workplace you should actually have more agency to do something through HR, but this depends on where you work…

To clarify: I don’t have an issue. I have a coworker I’d like to punch. The alternative strategies I’m taking because I can’t punch him are leaving me feeling dirty.

Are you saying you’re the workplace bully?

No, I’m asking why can’t I just punch a guy who deserves it.

So you can’t physically abuse your coworker but you can mentally and you want to know if you’re going to get into trouble for doing so?

No. Ostracizing just seems soo much more harmful. It seems kinda backwards to me. What’s an acceptable response and what’s not. That’s all.

You are right for feeling dirty, maybe reconsider everything about the situation and work on why would you even let hatred be part of your work environment.
