World Peace made a snap decision to clobber that guy, or he was just way too fired up and got rough in the process of clearing himself of the other guy's body.

And look at his "who, me?" reaction when the other team's players start to converge on him. I actually think it looks genuine, but yeah these guys are trained actors what with all the flopping & whatnot.

Anyway, I can see how it's easy to conclude that World Peace was on the attack because of how it looks in slow-mo, but if you watch the real-time replay and pay attention to the timing you might change your mind.

I think WP deserves to be disciplined, but kicking him out of the league... or even kicking him out for the rest of the season... might be a bit much.
