Celebrity Justice
Mel Gibson Case -- An Outrage

Mel Gibson is garbage. What an awful person he is. True enough, I'm Jewish, so the grotesque remarks didn't please me none. And resisting arrest -- let me just say, I am privy to incontrovertible evidence that he did indeed try to bolt. It will come out, and it will shock you.

But even worse is that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has become a shill to celebrities. I knew this 11 years ago with Tony Danza, who beat up a photographer and stole his camera. The Sheriffs were ridiculous -- they merely asked him to return the camera, which Danza did after removing the film. That was just fine with the Sheriffs.

Well, it's gotten a lot worse. In the Mel Gibson case, I called the lieutenant who was on duty Friday, who told me that Gibson's arrest was "without incident." And I asked her about the anti-Semitic comments around mid-day. She said, in the phoniest of ways, "Oh, I'm just sure that's not the case." It was such a lying comment -- I just felt it.

Well, turns out that this time I was right on target. The lieutenant who gave me the bogus statement is the same person who told the arresting Deputy to 86 the truth and create a bullshit explanation for what went down.

The Sheriff's Department is so screwed. They thought they could protect their celebrity resident who did not deserve protection. What they didn't know is that we'd get a copy of the report that they tried to censor. And what's worse, there's evidence that I'm not allowed to report that will nail them to the wall.

There needs to be an investigation of the L.A.County Sheriff's Department and STAT. As awful as Mel Gibson is, the Sheriff's Department is worse. This is a corrupt department. They thought they could get away with this and they got nailed. Now they say they will issue a full report to the D.A. -- yeah, right....because they got caught.

136. Mr. Gibson is entitled to his opinion on world affairs like anyone else in the USA, it is called freedom of speech. The Commandant of the NJ State Police was removed from office several yrs. back because he stated FBI stats on the majority of what ethnic group occupies our prisons.That was not an opinion but fact. Before you point your finger of HATE at Mel Gibson look at yourself and YOUR opinions on life and it's events.We did not stamp out the Nazi's but brought it home here to the influential, the wealthy, the connected who have the means to hurt, ruin or MARK someone because "i do not like what he said". The old saying "truth hurts like a whip" is so very true. If you don't care for Mr. Gibson now change the channel, don't purchase a ticket to see his movies. To you NAZI way of thinking narrow minded people out there, GET OVER IT .

137. Great Work!Let everyone who thinks Mel Gibson is a saint read the police report that you've obtained.The facts don't lie.Mel Gibson has been exposed for what he is.A hateful homophobic, anti-semetic, loud mouth women degrading drunk.The people who defend such behavior probally also thought OJ was innocent.If anybody else had been pulled over and behaved in such a way they would have been charged with more then DUI.Keep the story alive because after the public apology, comes the rehab, the People magazine cover story about his battle with addiction, the prime time tv puff piece etc.Don't let it happen

138. I sincerely hope no one is fooled by Mel Gibson's apology following his DUI and subsequent drunken tirade. Alcohol can impair motor functions. It can impair judgment. But it doesn't give people new beliefs. What alcohol does is reduce inhibition so their old beliefs, including those best kept unexpressed by public figures, can surface more easily. There is now abundant evidence that Gibson's anti-Semitic beliefs are at the core of who he is. His calling the female police officer at the station "sugar-tits" merely adds for me new evidence of how Gibson regards women. As a movie fan, will I take his abhorrent views into consideration the next time a film of his comes out? You better believe it!!

139. I think the comments on this board and the article of Mr. Levin show a deep rooted anti Catholic bigotry. Mr. Gibson is a tradional Catholic and many do not like that. This whole story of the anti Jewish remarks are made up. Yes, Gibson was arrested. So are other Hollywood actors. But since Mr. Gibson is a conservative Catholic, the Liberal left wing media, like Mr. Levin, does not like him.

140. Is anyone surprised by any of this? Mr Gibson is notorius for his anti-Semite and anti-gay remarks. I think Mr. Gibson's apology is actually more offensive, because the only reason he did it is that it became public knowledge. At least those anti-Semite anti-Gay televangelists, as grossly repugnant as they are to me, stand by their bigotry and hatred. Mr. Gibson is a bigot who is trying to pretend not to be.

Come on people, it's the LAPD! Rodney King? A lying racist detective ruined the case against OJ Simpson in his zeal to prosecute a prominent black man. LAPD are just protecting their own kind. Robert Blake killed his wife Bonnie Bakeley because he knew that the LAPD would help him. (left his gun in the restaurant, went to get it and found his wife shot in the car??? COME ON!!!)

They are a goon squad for the prominent and the wealthy. hbut only if you're white and Christian

141. Yes, mr. Gibson should have known better BUT he's only human and so he's qualified to make his human mistakes, doesn't he? Being an addicted alcoholic doesn't seem easy when just about everyone is drinking, especially in his whereabouts. He should have known better because he's famous and you live in a glass house and people are just waiting your fall. All for the (human) fact to feel happier with themselves. That's why people watch soapopera's don't they. It makes them feel better. And sure mr. Gibson WAS wrong and it is okay that he must pay for his faults like everybody else. But if everybody else makes a mistake like this than suddenly they are rotten potatoes too? Well...I think that leaves very little people worth talking to.
Mr. Gibson has his faults and his problems like everybody else. And as an alcoholic you can give in easily I imagine. Liquor isn't that hard to get you know. It seems to me, religious man as he is and as the loving familyman, he'd never do this on purpose knowing what can happen if you're driving drunk.
Addicts lose all control when they feel they are in need of booze/coke/joint or anything else addicting for that matter. They lose IT. And with that: themselves. Isn't that punishment enough? So stop calling him names. He tries to live his life the best he can I'm sure.

142. This crap and the comments are beyond belief. Mel 'got a slap on the wrist' , bullsh*t, he blew a .12 twice and was so charged. 'What's a so called family man doing out all hours drinking and carousing'? Well, if he only blew a .12, obviously he wasn't doing much. Normal BAC used to be .10 for impaired, about .15 for intoxicated.....until the MADD zelots got involved, and they won't be happy until it becomes .01...they're already lobbying for .05 BAC, that's one drink for a normal sized adult, half a beer for most women. And why are his father's comments and beliefs brought into this? You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family. "May he rot in hell and spend time in jail for his behavior' wow that's a real rational statement. Somehow, it's OK to be anti-Christian, we're becoming more and more that way each day....but say something bad about a Jew, and may you rot in hell. Unbelieveable. As far as I'm concerned, Israel oughtta keep on doing what they're doing right now with the war against Hezbolla, no 'peace treaty' until the rockets stop, and make sure the the terrorists can't attain any more aresenals of these types of weapons from Syria and Iran, just in case you were wondering where my feelings about the Jews are. But all this other crap about Mel is irrelevant, hateful, and obviously written by left wingers. He was stopped for DUI, they did a field sobriety test, brought him down to the station, and he blew a .12 twice, that's it. It's not a jailable offense, especially the first time. In his apology he admitted he has battled the demons of alcohol for his adult life, and regrets his relapse and comments. End of case. He'll go to court like the rest of us, lose his license for the appropriate time and pay a fine, that's the punishment for blowing a .12, which by the way is about 3 beers. So, for all the hatefilled commentary, blow me.

144. Mel messed up badly. His defenses down, his true thoughts and feelings come out , and gee whiz...he's prejudiced. The sheriff's department is full of bumblers..aware they have a "situation" on their hands. Spin doctoring begins as Mel sobers up. He plays the alcohol is my burden card right away. This is entertainment tonight alright.

146. Of course Mel Gibson resisted arrest (a misdemeanor), interfered with officers in the lawful course of their duties (a misdemeanor), attempted to escape (a felony), was reckless driving (a misdemeanor), and was DUI (a misdemeanor). Those who defend him, why did he issue such a strong "mea culpa" apology? Get a dose of common sense. I had hoped his Passion was not antisemitic, but it of course is. He is a bad guy and a sick puppy. I hope not only he, but the police who attempted a coverup, will be punished. Were it the average black joe who pulled this they'd be jailed 6 months to 1 year.

147. This is a biased opinion and is not considered to be credibile as such. The writer obviously cannot see beyond his own limited world. Mel Gibson may not be an angel and may have said things that are interpreted as anti-semetic but he is being charged with the DUI. How many stupid things have you Levin said in your life? Are you such a self-righteous "angel" that you can honestly say that you have never said a discriminatory remark in yout life or said something you later regretted? And if you say to yourself that you are an "angel" the rest of us will call bulls***!! No one is.......... reality check!! LOL - your funny..............

148. Who is this inarticulate Levin guy anyway? His comments are filled with innuendo and just plain stupidity. He sounds like a high school girl with the "I know a secret, but I'm not tellin' you" thing. What ever happened to reporting the facts and not heresay?

149. Like father, like son, they both should be locked up for fostering more hatred and ignorance , senior for being ignorant of the Holocaust and Mel Gibson for inciting more hatred in this religious hypocritical society, THROW AWAY THE KEY , good riddence to SCUM!

150. Alcoholism is a terrible illness that impacts on the judgement of an individual.We
have seen this clearly in Mr. Gibsons situation. The ordeal of the news media and legal system will be temporary.Fortunatly no one lost their their life or sustaine life long injuries. He is still a human being and one of us. We are all never completed and continue to be works in progress. I have sorrow for him and his family and all those who love him. However ,I hope that he will obtain rehabilitative care and
be able to ruturn to a creative and meaningful life. If the antisemitic remarks
attributed to him are true I hope he will become more educated about the facts.
Many of my patients have maintained sobriety for twenty and more years. It is a
daily event for them to be in recovery. My best wishes are with him and his family
for the future. There are also other illnesses associated with alcoholism and hopefully they will be investigated by his attending Physicians.
