    I'd like to add that although what James Butler did to Sam Kellerman was inexcusable; for those who don't know, the man had a long history of mental illness and was not on his medication at the time of the incident... He was actually trying to get committed into a ward because I believe he knew he couldn't control himself without the meds. Sam knew this when he took him in but did so out of a rare sense of kindness & humanity that most people don't understand. May he rest in peace... James though was visibly disturbed, I remember hanging out with him and heads wouldn't joke with him because he'd be laughing one minute and snapped the next. His former trainer nicknamed me James Butler Jr because he said we threw our right hands the same. Me and duke trained together when he got out for punching the Grant kid (he can't handle frustration) and he gave me good boxing pointers. I will say however, people knew not to call me James Butler Jr in front of him because his illness was well known in NYC boxing circles. Sam's death is a horrible tragedy but sometimes it pays to take a step back and let prudence dictate your actions when it comes to helping people... btw, I don't allow people to call me James Jr. anymore either...
