Same scene happens and I'll add a wrinkle. What if on that trip over those 10 rows to this idiot, Artest runs through and steps on a 5 year old and seriously injures or KILLS this kid? There was an elderly woman on the bottom of the pile behind that bench.

Ask yourself this, what if your child, mother or grandmother was injured or killed by one of these players storming after an idiot that threw LIQUID in a plastic cup, would you still think it's okay?
Then I would sue the individual that started the altercation. Why are you throwing things when you were not involved in the on court fight? Why are you drinking like an idiot in public and cannot control your actions? The NBA is just as responsible and should be sued by players that have continuously have seen these events and allow them time and time again.

I am not saying the player take no responsibility. I am saying that we need to stop justifying the actions of adults that drink and say anything. As far as I am concerned, the women that got hit in the face should take a great deal of responsibility for her noise being broken when you confront players and say things to people you would never say outside of that sporting event. I do not know about you, but I have seen some people get in the face and call a person names and usually they did not just walk away. Maybe their first reaction was not to throw a punch, but they did not just stand there and take it.

Peace
