While we're on the topic of ethics:  What about the paid professional
athelete who abuses drugs, and is allowed to return to that sport, and not
serve any jail time.  I thought using drugs was illegal.  Why aren't these
people being prosecuted?

And, since you've brought up the point:  Have you ever been performing in
front of a large, live crowd?  One that is there to (supposedly) listen to
your performance because they enjoy what you do?  Tell us how you would
react when someone picks a fight with you.  Tell us what you would do (more
extreme) if someone drew a gun on you.

I'd be willing to bet Saturday night's IU-PU point spread that you would
defend yourself.  That is what Sebastian did.  He defended himself.
Unfortunately, an innocent bystander got hurt in the process.  PU beat the
spread on Saturday .....
