This is what I am saying is the problem. An arrest is much more serious for an average person than a 3-5 game suspension for a professional athlete. If Artest and and Stephen Jackson were throwing unprovoked punches at fans, they should also face prosecution.

well what do you want to do about the fans then? suspend them? put them under house arrest?....they are at fault, they deserve what they get
if no one threw anything and artest walked into the stands for a brawl because someone was saying something to him, then yeah you go ahead and arrest him...but if he's provoked by bottle hitting him, then no he doesn't deserve an arrest..a suspension suffices

I totally agree-- press charges against anyone who commited assault, player or fan. Throwing a glass bottle is most definitely an assault, and so is punching someone who didn't throw it.

I don't agree with that..I hate these punks that think they're tough if they go after athletes and this was clearly the problem here.
I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. I side with the players but I feel they deserve suspensions and fines but they were merely defending themselves. It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye. You don't stand around when someone is assaulting you.
