Nobody said that there was an excuse. It was "retaliation" however.

There's no excuse for elbowing and pushing an opponent like that either. The Lawrence player instigated the incident and has pretty-much admitted to doing so from what I've read. Iow there's two wrongs on the play, not just one, and both wrongs should also be penalized- not just one.
