I don't care who you are, if somebody steps on your shoes you don't loving tackle them. that said, those prankers forgetin deserved it because their whole intention was to get a reaction.
what if someone walked up to you and ripped your shirt, or took your phone and threw it on the ground. would you be a "forgetin child" if you laid someone out for that?
The difference with these examples is that both of those things actually ruin whatever the item is. Stepping on a dude's shoes on the sidewalk is
at worst going to leave a small scuff. Not worth throwing a dude on the floor over.
