The host of the morning show that I intern at made a very good point.

It's the violent culture that we live in today that is the macrocosm of this small event.

Things like the turkey incident in Ronkonkoma, Long Island where teenagers threw a turkey through some poor lady's windshield (and she may never fully recover from it).

Other brawls in sports as you mentioned...my boss uses the bullpen incident at Fenway Park with Jeff Nelson and Karim Garcia from a year ago.

It builds and builds and it just exploded that night.

I'd like to add Jeff Brown to the list of people who's asses I'd like to kick. He's the one who threw the cup of alcohol (which he wasn't supposed to drink because he was on probation) onto Ron Artest.

Artest jumps into the stands and nails the wrong guy.
