You are correct and the fans should not have done that. Nonetheless it would never have gone that far if a couple players had not ran into the stands and attacked a fan. Turns out the fan who was attacked did not throw the beer. Innocent fans could have been hurt very bad by these huge men going ballistic in the stands. Maybe even a child. Look at the grandma laying on the floor.

Oneil (I am pretty sure he was the player) landedtwo huge punches especially the running punch that connected with the fan who had gone on the court and had just been punched by Artest. It is somewhat of a miracle that running punch did not connect very well and break his jaw or even kill him by cracking open his skull when his head hit the court.

I think he was very lucky and he could have easily been paralyzed with a broken neck.

Well, it never would have started if the fan hadn't thrown the beer. Did you see O'Neill getting pummeled from behind? Did you see Artest getting pummeled from behind? The person that Artest went after in the stands was interviewed and said that Artest did not hit him. He said he grabbed him and asked him if he was the one that threw the beer. The "fans" climbed on top of the players in the stands.Then, they go out on the court and THE SAME FANS come out on the court asking for more? That's when these fans got hit by O'Neill and Artest. Watch it closely.

You mean the fat boy that that ran up fists clenched and mouth flapping like he was going to do something? I admit it I cheered when Artest punched his lights out.
