You can't ram pedestrians just because they are being jerks. Sometimes when some idiot is jogging toward me on the left side of the path (my right), I'll keep my line and slow to a crawl, or even a stop if needed to avoid an accident. Eventually, they either get off the path to their left or move to their right.
Some people just insist on being in the wrong place, but if you intentionally caused an accident to prove a point, I'd blame you as much, and probably more, than the peds.
