The assailant should be put down easy and thrown in a dumpster.

“If somebody yells at you in the street, you yell back. “
That way it’s easier for the lynch mob to come up on you.
Me, I always got a nickle for anyone who yelled at me. That’s how I became a millionaire./s
If somebody yells at you, quietly take out the knife or gun (not the licensed one, the other one) and wait. If you don’t have one, pick up trash from the street that might be useful, but next time have one, should you live so long.
Travel in twos.
