It falls under the category of " it's worth a shot ". Guy probably has a wife and two kids making 20 bucks an hour. Florida is a anti-union state. It's tough for any employed tradesman to make a decent living. Not saying that's an excuse for his behavior, just maybe a possible cause. Or, he was just busting the guys shoes, only he knows his intent. Obviously it backfired. Sh-t happens.
