Wallace had no idea that Artest would run into the stands and start a riot. I think the fines and penalties were fair, even though Jackson could've been given the season along with Artest. The emotions were up from the rivalry, and anyone watching the game realizes that Artest just went off the handle. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think Artest knew he was going to get suspended, so he could promote his rap album. Everything just kind of snowballed and got waaaaaaay out of control.
