Butler was arrested, charged with two counts of battery and released on a $10,000 bond.

According to a criminal complaint relayed to USA TODAY Sports by Huntington, W.Va., chief of police Joe Ciccarelli, the incident occurred on April 5 in downtown Huntington, when the two male victims exchanged a kiss on the street. Butler was a passenger in a vehicle that was driving by and stopped. He exited the car and began shouting derogatory comments about their sexual orientation.

According to the complaint, Butler then hit both victims with a closed fist.

Wow, this man has a lengthy rap sheet, dating back to his high school years in 2008 for burglary and 2009 for drug possession and assaulting a firefighter.

1. Hope he learns a valuable lesson

2. Idiot. He got enraged seeing two men kiss?

Couldn't he channel his rage at something that actually deserves rage?

Seems to me the only person he should be angry with is himself.

3. Don't worry about him. The Eagles will take him.
