He got security to kick the guy out of the tournament.
Shocker yes, but true.
Didn\'t Tiger once destroy someone\'s camera though for snapping a picture right when he was about to swing? I mean he took it out of the guys hands and destroyed it. This was only a few years ago.
Anyway, on to Artest. After reviewing the Video, over a hundred times, thanks ESPN...
Artest went in to the stands... that is a no no. He DID NOT HIT A SINGLE FAN IN THE STANDS... after seeing the entire incident now, he grabbed the guy he went after, slipped as he lunged for him and they both fell a little, then picked him up (somewhat violently, such as a movie police officer grabs someone by the lapels to get information out of them). He asks did you do it, by that time the guy next to Artest throws water or beer into Artests face and Stephen Jackson who is on his way to Artest diverts and heads for the guy who throw the second beer.
Artest ONLY hits someone on the floor.
At first I thought Artest and Jackson were going in fists flying, but in reality Artest never hit a single fan in the stands, and Jackson hit the fan that threw a second beer at Artest.
Was Artest right for flying into the stands... no, was Jackson right for hitting that second guy... no, but all in all, they may be able to get past prosecution based on that sequence right there. And the fans were still pounding on (even the peace keeping) Pacers... thanks Ben Wallace\'s bros.
Look and see if maybe I am seeing it wrong, but it looks like that is the way it happened instead of Artest running in and punching the first guy he finds.
