Metta World Peace Not Peaceful to James Harden

World Peace or Not

When people physically attack people on the street they are arrested for assault.  When athletes attack other athletes on the field of play, the police are never called.  When the athlete who attacks his fellow athlete is named World Peace, well it doesn't get any more ridiculous than that, but this is exactly what happened on the basketball court when Metta World Peace, a player for the LA Lakers did just that to James Harden, of the Oklahoma City Thunder.  It was seen on replay by the refs and was clearly a cheap shot, an elbow to the back of the head and neck, that sent World Peace to the locker room.

This isn't the first time Peace, as I like to call him, has committed acts of violence.  He attacked a fan in the stands during a game and was suspended for 74 games.  Now that's what I call justice.  Imagine if George Zimmerman, instead of killing him, attacked Trayvon Martin on the streets of Sanford, Florida and beat the hell out of him and then was told he was not allowed to be on Neighborhood Watch for two and a half months.  I suspect there would be repercussions from that judicial decision, yet that's what the NBA Commission had ruled when Peace attacked a fan.


In the immortal words of the Wright Reverend Alfred Sharpton,  "No justice, no Peace." Perhaps Rev. Al should consider changing his name to Loves Whites.
