He should get a medal instead. Calling the paparazzi pond scum is an insult to algae everywhere.

You might want to get the story straight. The pap was following Mr. Butler’s limo for 2 hours as the actor was trying to get away from the pap and go home. Finally Mr. Butler got out of the limo and punched the pap. Witnesses say that the pap was running red lights and almost hit 2 pedetrians.

Gerard Butler is a passionate guy, and stands up for his principals….and other\’s as well! Right on Gerry….! We\’re with ya….!

That\’s the kind of man I need, someone who can knock a pig\’s lights out when he gropes me.
While he\’s got the guy out cold then I can kick the pig in the head.
There\’s no justice in California and there\’s no God to give me justice. I need a real man, like Gerald to give me justice.
Unless California wants to change the laws so I can carry gun, in which case, I can get cheap fast justice on the spot.
The reason a monkey was put in office is because he\’s a man. Men put him there so scummy men can go on groping women and sexually assaulting them without any punishment at all.
Let\’s talk about what really matters. Stalkeratzzi don\’t matter, not to me.
All scum should kiss the monkey\’s feet because he the very reason you can continue to treat women as less than and the reason someone like me will choose a man just like Gerald who\’ll get the job done.
Thank you Gerald for taking care of a piece of filth predatory lowlife who more than likely treats women abusively. Retards treat everyone badly.

I wish it was me who was kicking some asshole. I can live vicariously through Butler. I’m suddenly feeling better. Ahh. a little happiness. Just what I needed right now.

This past weekend some ignorant ghetto monkey yelled hey baby to me, clearly trying to improve his genes. I wanted to put him in his place, the zoo, but didn\’t have a legal right to carry a gun to back myself up. I ran to my car instead and locked the door as quick as I could. I was terrified he was going to follow me to my car. I was thinking, he\’s probably going to get his foot stuck under my wheel but I\’m not stopping. Civilized humans don\’t scare other people just because they\’ve decided they have n opportunity to take advantage of another human being. Decent men don\’t act like monkeys. This ghetto trash was clearly unevolved.
I need a body guard. Then monkeys will behave around me.
