Wow that is a real shocker....if it is James Butler, wondered why he shot Kellerman's brother????

Mistaken identity perhaps?

Dont fornicate with butler. I wouldnt, but that is a real shock

Christ he only just got out too, the man's a moron.

Bizzare story of the year award. Still, he hasn't been charged yet, so who knows....most of the websites seem to be assuming the Butler did it though.

Yes, of course he may not be guilty, or involved in any way.

Damn right this is bizarre...what happened to Butler, how come he came off the rails so fast....he could have been a decent contender

I recently saw an interview with James Butler just before he got his licence back. He seemed sincere in his regrets about the after bell assault.

But this isn't looking good for him, still inocent untill proved otherwise.
