XSV hit the buzzer and raba run down and mowed the last guy - There will be punishment im sure but raba did apologise straight away but think that the heads will make a stand and issue some sort of a ban i fell.

what happened did he keep shooting cos he lost ??
well going by his apology on facebook it was malicious overshooting rather than any accidental playing on etc:
I just want to apologize for my actions. I blew up and lost my cool and it was not professional at all. I apologize to my fans foremost because that is not the kind of person I am. I want to congratulate XSV and apologize to Jerry. I am very sorry and you wont see anything like that happen again from me. - Justin Rabackoff

That to me looked like it was more than just rabackoff who carried on shooting...

i agree that's what it looks like but i can't really tell from the video if the second player was actually firing or just running with his gun up. either way the apology issued by rabackoff was done via the tampa bay damage facebook so i guess if any other players had been involved they would have followed suit.

Looks to me like Rab launched into a sprint as the buzzer went and was just dead set on going for the run.

Looks like it all got heated by the ref pushing Rab and the guy who got run down going aggressive. And then when every man and their dog gets involved thinking a fight needs to get broken up it all adds fuel to fire.

Maybe there was a malicious intention but it looks like it's been blown out of proportion to some extent.
