Last Sunday, a 48-yr. old Iranian guy (name withheld) goes to Nobu, a fancy sushi place in Malibu with his girlfriend. There walks in Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls, an Olympic gold medal winner and a teammate of Michael Jordan. The Iranian guy takes a few pictures of Scottie and wants an autograph for his son. He follows Scottie into the parking lot and Scottie punches him in the mouth and kicks him in the face; all in front of the valet guys and in bright daylight at 6:30 PM.

Scottie leaves the scene. The Iranian guy is unconscious and is taken to the hospital by an ambulance with broken teeth. The next day, Scottie is all lawyered up and voluntarily goes to the police department and says that the Iranian guy bothered him all night for pictures and autographs and called him the N-word and spat at him, so he had to defend himself and his family.

No matter how annoying the paparazzi behavior of the celebrity fans is, there is never a justification for beating the crap out of someone who is half your size.
