As I understood it, there was all of one security personnel on the floor at the time.
So while security and police would have dealt with the fan, they obviously didn't, and I'm sure that changed Artest's reaction.
By no means does that mean Artest isn't responsible for his actions, but had there been an appropriate number of security personnel there, I think it's safe to say the incident would not have escalated so much

Cory,
What I was trying to say was that there was enough security to handle one cup thrower. They didn't have time to deal with him, because Artest made reacted so quickly. If given enough time I think they could of handled it. They definitely did not have enough personnel on staff to handle the near riot that ensued.
