I'm not a sports fan at all, but it seems everything would have stayed on the court and remained between players until the guy threw the beer. Artest responded to it, and went after the group of guys, missing the real culprit, who ended up sucker punching him from behind. This is an ugly scene.

The fans going onto the court are the ones who need to be arrested since they aren't responding to anything, but actually trying to start new fights. In particular, the two fat guys in Pistons jerseys. Of course, I think one of them got what he wanted, which was a good view of the rafters, courtesy O'Neal. There was another guy who walked out to fight Artest as he was being escorted out, before the cops ran over ready to pepper spray Artest, instead of the other guy, though four cops ran over to him.

The rest of it, the throwing of things was just disgraceful. What's worse, and I don't know if anyone noted this in the several hundred posts, is the two kids who were seen crying appeared to be leaving the stadium with the huge dude in the tan (on the left side of the Artest rumble). Ah, nothing like watching your old man pound a guy into the ground. The good thing about it is that these boys weren't cheering him on, so there's hope (and yes, this is based upon pure speculation that they were related)

What an ugly mess.
