Mel Gibson: Malibu's Finest

61. What happened to freedom of speech? Yeah, that's all well and good until someone says something "politically incorrect". What a bunch of F...... hypocrits! Drinking and Driving is the crime here. Nothing else. And that's serious enough. Not to make light of it but how many of you do that???? When was the last time you called a cab?? Actually, I'd like to know how TMZ got the Police Report so quickly. Maybe "they're" the ones stretching facts. Nothing new there.

63. I wish people were focused a little more on the true reason for Mel Gibson’s arrest - and what he honestly owes an apology about. His decision to get into his car - while intoxicated - put people on the road at risk of injury or death, and that's far worse than any pap (as offensive and cruel as it was) that came out of his inebriated mouth. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me..." while simplistic (and not entirely true) the real crime was getting behind the wheel of a car that when driven by a drunk becomes a weapon - a weapon far more serious than sticks or stones.

I also understand the he grew up in a household were anti-Semitism was totally common - Gibson didn't have to believe the words he spoke - only remember what his own father said when he was busy being a belligerent jerk. Kids remember the things their parents say - and when we become adults - and grow to disagree with our parent's views - it's not unheard of to regress to behavior that's familiar when we're not in complete control of ourselves. I don't think this came out of left field - I think Gibson was raised by a racist and that has to have some pretty long-ranging consequences...

I hope he recovers his sobriety a lot more than I hope he recovers his career. I don't think he's an evil man. But it's infuriating to think that he may get off lightly for the crime of drunk driving.

64. I use to like this guy but under the pretext of "Jesus" he has fooled us all. If you have a drinking problem how come Jesus didnot help you? Where was your friend fellow Irish scum Bill Oreilly? Mr. Scum you have fooled us all under the guise of morality, godliness and goodness. You are not a good person, you are a wealthy coward, who defies law, justice and the very essence of God. Making anti semite comments doesnot make you a person at all, If you don't have respect for one kind of human beings then what respect will you have for others? You are a fake and despicable human being. Trust me, In my lifetime I will never watch a movie of yours.

66. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU, MEL GIBSON IS JUST AS IGNORANT AS HIS IGNORAMUS FATHER. AS WE KNOW, THE FRUIT DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE.

I am so much with you Sophie.........posted at 1.20 pm.
I have the same deep concerns, and it is so alarming so see that people is not getting it...it seems like the fashionable thing is just to jump on the sanctimonious and hypocritical attitude of crying to the heavens when somebody is expressing an opinion or criticism against a country , wich they never allow to separate country-race, and any dissident thought is labelled as hatred.
Looking at it with European eyes it looks to me as the beginning of a nightmare already experienced before.

68. Mel said he would not speak against his father when his father said, concentration camps, etc. was for the most part were fabricated. If you don't agree with a statement made by friend or family you simply say, 'they have their own opinion". So, I find this more than a little eye opening. I think Mel is antisemitic, as well as an alcoholic. He can get help with his alcoholism, antisemitic....hmmmmm, I think the acorn doesn't fall from the tree.
Personally I think, he thinks he's above the law.

71. He is getting his Ass kissed by Barbra Walters in a interview. Will Barbra come visit and interview my friend who had 2 D.U.I's.
Give Gibson a penalty like all other Americans. How bout a stiff fine and 3 months with regular prisoners. Gibson you played Christ? I think someone else should
of played him you bigot.
You think you are a Star, but you are just like us, the ones you runaway from for Autographs.

72. amazing that people can and do say every kind of anti semetic remark there is. just goes to show that most people do feel what mel gibson says.
it never goes away. its called scape goating and denial. easy to blame a group of people who simply dont give up their ideals and heritage. people who work hard and make a success out of their lives.
If Mel gibson had said those things about African americans there'd be rioting in the streets but jews are always fair game.
i hope the jews finally rise up and start doing what christians have been doing for years. persecuting.

74. Do you think we're that stupid? Trying to salvage Mel Gibson's reputation after his comment earlier! Think we won't notice? There must be an Opus Dei working for AOL!
