I think what you do not get is I do not care what your personal feeling is on this. This is not a debate to change your mind. This is a debate to show you that others are not on the same page with you.

Now you are a mind reader? I guess you had a personal conversation with Artest and talked to the others around the situation? I forget you are all knowing and the moral police. Remind me not to ever listen to anything you have to say because you seem to think your point of view is the only one important here.

Comparing murder to a fist fight is a bit much don't you think?
I am going to assume you were not there. I am going to assume you have not talked to anyone there. I am going to assume that you are just speculating here to try to prove a point. If you have to speculate to make your point, your point of view is really wrong. I am not saying what is right and what is wrong. I am stating what the situation is. People should not kill other people or hurt anyone, but they do. I know what I should or should not do to provoke people to react to me or things I say. It does not give anyone the "right" to react to me in a negative way, but they will if I push the right buttons. I know if I talk about someone's wife or children in a certain way, I know they might come at me physically. It does not matter if their actions are right or wrong, but it does matter what they do if I am not careful.

That is no different then idiots shooting at each other past innocent people. The fact that nobody got seriously hurt, does not lessen the risk that two groups of idiots put them under, because they cannot control themselves.

Let me say this. I know the places I can avoid so that does not happen to me. Of course nothing is promised and anything can happen, but I sure know of places I can avoid where people that shoot at people regularly hang out.

It is still
PR. The action of the NBA has nothing to do with the law. As I stated before, I am a Pistons fan and I am not a fan of Artest. I think he acts like a clown most of the time. But I do know better than to throw something at the man that is much bigger and taller than I am or hang around those kinds of people. I also know not to drink so much in public where I cannot control all my emotions or act in a way that people would want to hurt me based on things I do. This is one of the reasons I do not go to bars on a regular basis or places that have built in trouble as a result.
Peace
