If they don't want to be attacked then stop attacking celebs with your camera! Let's pretend we live in the real world here (not Tinsel Town) and say you have some psycho perve stalking you 24/7, you call the police & normally they would arrest the lunatic. However in Tinsel Town it seems like a Twilight Zone where everything is backwards. A place where the laws seem to favor the side of the stalking Paparazzi. Here's a novel idea, how about charging the vultures with some fines for stalking. Maybe then they would think twice about getting up in someone's face and shoving a blinding camera light at them. Sure, they are celebs but they are PEOPLE first and foremost. Yes, we all like to see snapshots of our favorite celebs but when it comes down to news stories like this I say the Paparazzi had it coming to them. There are ways to take pictures tastefully and respectfully and maybe if the laws were on the side of the (usually) innocent celeb defending themselves we wouldn't hear about total B.S. like this. The only one that should be required to spend any amount of time in jail is the jerk that was shoving the camera in Gerard Butler's face. At the most all Gerard should have to do is pay a fine for defending himself just to shut the "pigs" up. I have no respect for the law in Hollywood when they defend the Paparazzi who started the fight instead of defending the people who are being harassed and stalked. Ever see the movie Paparazzi? Great flick & one that the vultures in Hollywood should watch and take to heart the next time their shoving a camera in someone's face.
