A steak knife-wielding man held police and security guards at bay for nearly half an hour at the Staples Center before the Los Angeles Clippers' game Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, authorities said.

Wow I wonder if they always pack rubber bullets. Makes sense in a stadium with so many people.

**InTheDrink** · 03-19-11, 02:09 PM

Are any SBR posters suspected?

**FuzzyDunlop** · 03-19-11, 02:11 PM

Never bring a knife to a (rubber) gun fight.

**Deuce** · 03-19-11, 02:17 PM

No bullets were shot, guy was tackled.

Since you go to Clippers game and have been to the Staples center a very famous arena, how the hell did this guy get in with a knife if they do a security check before you get to your seats? Explain that to me.

And don't say "They must of just missed it" cause if it was a gun then the guy didn't have to jump onto the court and could of took out anyone from the 25 row even further.

Any videos of this surfaced yet?
