Black Friday shopping wars used to turn into a good old donnybrook, back when malls existed.

From the Donnybrook Fair, held near Dublin Ireland from the 13th to 19th century. It was finally banned in 1855 due to the drunken brawls.

Reminds me of a popular Irish drinking song:

🎵Cuz we fight, and we drink, and we drink, and we fight...🎵

Six hundred years is a heck of a run. It took nearly a hundred years of complaints before it was banned.
