Gerard Butler Charged with Crime

16. Good for Mr. Butler! Papparazzi are the scum of the earth and should not be allowed to even breath air. I think that they should be outlawed. Everyone hates them. I hate them.

18. It's not that I don't want to see PICTURES and NEWS about celebrities.., I don't want to see celebrities provoked into anger by assholes. Big difference #11

21. Wtf David, this isn't about Gerard snatching a hamburger from the mouth of a hungry child, it's about him punching the lights out of an annoying stalker who put someone else in danger...how does that even fit the category of Celebrity Boxing: Street Life?

Yea that's an important issue, but not for this type of party.

22. Well David I must say you never get up promoting your causes. As for Mr. Butler, no jail time, but I'm sure he'll get a fine, or at least have to pay for the guys medical bills.

24. Hey fighting paps is Blair Berk's thing. She fought the paps for Reese Witherspoon too. She loves this particular fight and wants pretty stringent laws passed enforcing distances, etc.

The thing about this specific case is that this pap was not content taking the standard issue pap photo at the after party like the rest of the paps. He felt he had the right to chase Butler's limo through the streets of LA for nearly an hour, allegely driving recklessly and putting not only other drivers but pedestrians in mortal danger too. Frankly I don't care what made Butler finally lose his cool & smack this butthead around. At least he did it. It should happen more often and give us all a little more entertainment value with the photos. The jerk deserved it. If Butler winds up paying in any other way than just a nominal fine & a doctor's bill, then there's no justice.

25. Tonight he dines in maximum secruity! Probably not though, courts are ruling in favor of celebrities against press. Chasing recklessly through the streets after people for photographs is damn ridiculous — that guy should be charged.

26. It's obvious that the papps know more than I do. Who the hell is this guy?

27. Reading these comments about the paparazzi is funny because aren't you all aware you are on one of the leading celebrity paparazzi websites? Now come on if you hated the paps so much why are you even on this site. It's just too funny.

28. He'll get off because all those entertainment criminal lawyers have 'special relationships' with the judges. Anyone on film is treated like a deity.

The guy went to a movie premiere at a pap hot spot, what did he expect? If you can't stand the pap attention, pack up your millions and get out of the public eye. But these actors don't because in fact their lives are pretty darned good. Can't have it both ways.

29. I would have loved to see Gerard use those muscles. Yummy! It looks like Gerard restrained himself because that's a pathetic pic of a boo boo on the loser pap's lip. Lesson learned: Don't look stupid chasing after people.
