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.

258. Mr. Levin: Excellent work. Thank you for revealing the true story. As a consumer, I am very pleased to have the choice of whether or not to support Mr. Gibson's work. Because of your research, I will not spend my money or my time viewing any project involving Mr. Gibson. It would sicken me to do so.
I will commend you on something else: whether he likes it or not, by exposing his true nature (which has reared its ugly head numerous times before), you have given Mr. Gibson the opportunity to "clean up." And there's a lot of mess to clean up re: his personal problems and biases: anti-feminism, anti-Jewish, anti-Gay, and probably much more. You are handing this opportunity to Mr. Gibson on a silver tray. Let's see what Mr. Gibson, as a so-called "good Christian." does with this opportunity.
The man suffers from serious issues and needs to do some serious soul-searching, and not just for the sake of his reputation or his dollar.

259. Woody Allen commits the unthinkable crime of molesting a child. HIs adopted daughter and god knows how many other children and that is forgiven by the movie industry and the new media. Oh yes, I almost forgot he is Jewish. Could that be why? I believe reverse discrimination is being used on Mel Gipson. I wonder if Mr. Gipson would have been forgiven as well if he were Jewish?
The movie industry and the news media has been after Mel Gipson since The Passion. I still remember the ugly comments concerning this movie. Yet he went out of his way with actors used and the way in which he depicted the story not to upset the Jewish Community.
It is not a true comment to make that when people are intoxicated they tell their true feelings. As a matter of fact it can quite often be the exact opposite. Let the man apologize and move on. Let's all be prayful for the innocent people dying in the middle east and for our USA as well. May God bless and keep us ALL safe and equal.

260. Saying Mel Gibson is garbage and a terrible person because he
was drunk and said very stupid things while drunk is nonsense. Everybody who has ever gotten drunk has said & done things they've regretted after they became sober. The man is in torment and really needs help. Maybe this will be a wake up call for him to kick booze forever. As far as the arrest is concerned, cover up and celebs has always been there and always will be. It is NOT right and until stars of entertainment & sports really get what they deserve under the law that they've broken, it will never be fair.

261. Harvey is accusing the LAPD of trying to filter out information because they like Gibson. I wonder, Harvey, how many stories you decided not to expose because you "liked" the celeb. Plenty I would bet. Kettle-black.

262. Mel makes a movie about crucifixion that the Jewish community didn't like. Now it's their turn to crucify Mel. They don't want to just condemn Gibson's terrible comments, they want to DESTROY him. Not exactly the high road, Harvey. BAD KARMA.

263. Unfortunately Mel messed up big time...hopefully he can get rid of whatever unloving feelings he harbors deep inside about the Jews through his therapy after he goes to Confession. He needs to ask for absolution for his alleged hatred for God's chosen people, which is a sin! Nonetheless, I support Mel Gibson in his time of need...we all mess up at one point or another. I'm glad I'm not important enough to have Hollywood jump all over my "bads". It is weird what outrages Hollywood! A drunk man says mean things about Jews and it's the worst cataclysm known to modern man. A sober convicted child rapist (Roman) gets awards and cheers...Porn Sluts are elevated to star status & worshipped...
If we wanted to take the time, we could dig up dirt on each and every celebrity and find a host of drunks, sickos, child molesters, drug addicts and murderers. And WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR????

264. I’M SORRY… AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? ISN’T A JOURNALIST SUPPOSED TO BE IMPARTIAL? WITH ONE SIDED REPORTING LIKE THIS (IF YOU CALL IT REPORTING, SOUNDS MORE LIKE A PUBLIC STONING), IT MAKES ME THINK NOTHING YOU REPORT IN THE FUTURE CAN BE CONSIDERED FAIR AND IMPARTIAL... FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT CONDONE MR. GIBSON’S ACTIONS, BUT I DO BELIEVE IN REPENTNESS.

265. I think this whole Mel Gibson inccident is being blown out of proportion. If he made deragatory comments about any other ethnic group, such as the Arabs, Hispanics, Blacks, or Russians, no one would even care. If anything, the whole country would probably cheer him on. But the Jewish community had it in for him since the Passion of the Christ, and this inccident simply gave them a new opportunity to proclaim anti-semitism and further their cause. People lost sight of what's really important - he was driving drunk and he could've killed someone. But unfortunatelly that doesn't seem to be nearly as important as some drunken comments.

266. Dear Public,
There are two problems with this whole ordeal. One Mel Gibson who has been battling alcoholism was caught drunk driving and two the fact that the police are enabling him to continue on by downplaying the encident.What I mean by this is they are not sticking to the truth and charge him for his actions. I can relate to this case because like Gibson I myself am an alcoholic, however I have been sober for 4 years and only because I reached rock bottom and then I got sober. So be letting Gibson quote "slide" on the charges of verbal assault and resisting arrest then that sends out the message to celebirties that they can get away with anything. Both parties are at fault here but the true hero is the arresting officer who stuck to his guns but was later ordered to butter up the report. Mel needs to be accountable for his actions and pay the price for them superstar or not. Otherwise nextime he could go out and cause a traffic accident and kill somebody, maybe even someone that you know, then how would you feel? Well I think I have said enough so thank you for your time.

267. well lets see, we have war in Israel, War in Iraq,record high heat taking lives, record high fuel prices, a hurriane threat in the Atlantic,and the most reported thing in the news media eye is poor old Mel getting a little drunk and shooting off his mouth. Dosen't that show real reporting for Americas best interest.

268. Harvey, come on....Don't be jealous, Harvey , Jesus loves you too. Mel Gibson is a good guy who has a drinking problem. I wonder Harvey do you ever examine your own conscience? Why are you so anti-Christian? Harvey, I will turn the other cheek since I believe in the 10 commandments. Oh, I'm sorry Harvey if talk of Jesus and Christianity upset you so much....but look at it this way Jesus was not only a man but he is God and he was a Jewish Man at that.
Love Ya anyway,
Deborah

269. Why didn't you post my comment? It was relevant to this blog entry . I guess you people really don't like anyone to express their thoughts unless the thought or speech is yours. Mel Gibson is a good man with a drinking problem and your problem is anti-Christian.

270. So it's alright to publish the profit Mohamad's drawing with bombs on his head in newpapers and call it freedom of speech but it's not alright for a drunken man to slurr a few remarks that should have never been made public in the first place and that he may or may not have said and may or may not actually beleive and could have been triggered by the awful stuff Israeel is doing to Lebonan right now (which US news is showing next to nothing of).. You and others are the kings of double standards and you dare talk about special treatment? you are the people getting the special treatment and you have no problem with it.
