I walked infront of the Jazz fans for a block. There were several jazz fans,one of them seemed routy and very aggrivated, he stood out, his friend kept calming him. They talked about how drunk they were. Their speech was inpaired and I could smell the liquor. As we walked they began talking about a "tough guy" and how he got kicked out As we reached the street,a car was making a right. Somehow, the laker fan in the car was the man they had been talking about for a block. They began to point and taunt the laker fan in the car. You could tell the laker fan was surprised to see the men again. The laker fan cracked the window and simply said, "whats up?" The Jazz fan then called the laker fan out of the car.The laker fan hessitated but began to open the door. By this time the Jazz fan had already left the sidewalk and was in the process of hitting the laker fan. It was obvious he intended to assult the laker fan. The laker fan then peppersprayed the individual. Then the jazz friend kicked the car the laker fan was in. Then the car proceeded with the right turn and drove off. Therefore, The laker fan did NOT initiate the fight OUTSIDE. I dont doubt there was an altercation inside, nor do i know who was at fault(inside the arena). What i DO know is that the laker fan was in the process of being attacked by the DRUNK jazz fan,and it was pure coincidence that they had ran into one another. The laker fan also couldnt have sped off because the light was red, they were already in the turning lane, and there were people crossing the street. the laker fan was surrounded.I dont agree with this behavior.Its a shame that based on a Team Preference people are stereotyped. Jazz fans are just as loud,drunk,and,aggressive as Lakers fans. Now if the story was turned, the Title of of this article would read; "Jazz fan is forced to use pepper spray in self defense against angry Laker mob". Keep in mind, I too, am a Jazz Fan, Born and raised in Utah. THAT IS THE TRUTH.
