i dont think that i could disagree more here. if he doesnt go into the stands, there is no riot. the guy who throws the beer gets arrested, and we arent dealing with any of this today.
instead, he went into the stands, and essentially started a riot. i am not absolving the fans in any way by saying this, they should be held responsible as well. but it was artests actions, and his actions alone that caused the whole riot, and for that he should be held accountable and he should be punished.
if you want to argue that the punishment was too harsh, then go for it, but to say that he did nothing wrong here except get the wrong guy, that is just wrong.
