Ron Artest's Arrest: Like I Told The Kids [13+]

A video compilation of media coverage concerning Ron Artest's recent arrest and how it brings powerful questions to the table concerning the altogether too many incidents of extreme violence involving professional athletes.

Like I Told the Kids:

In a Fox 2 interview with Artest, he bares his true thoughts and feeling about the infamous Palace Brawl that he initiated. The episode cost him over $5 million in salary as a result of the hefty NBA suspension that also cost his team and teammates the loss of his services for the remainder of the season.

Despite his previous claims of remorse regarding the world reknown incident, in the interview he incredulously echoes ("Like I told the kids") remarks he had made earlier to the children present that day, specifically, that his role in the incident was not at all a mistake on his part, but, rather, him finishing what someone else started. During his presentation to the kids he basically advises them to model their behavior after his survivalist skills.

Guns, murder, drugs, entourages, public violence, domestic violence? When is enough, enough?

The NBA and NFL, especially, need to take a long hard look at their policies regarding behavior codes and the accountability of negligence.
