severity of your actions. Swinging a helmet at another player's defenseless head is inexcusable, he is very lucky it did't quite connect.

I am just saying why most people are quick to pick a side, because one side "clearly" did something that was also way worse than what the other one might have done. One clearly did something wrong, the other might have done something wrong, but the one fact does not negate the other and also wouldn't/shouldn't even if Rudolph ended up being guilty. Thus it is easy to pick a side, not due to race, but due to the acts committed.
