Celebrity Justice
Mel Gibson: Malibu's Finest

Mel GibsonAmid rumblings that Mel Gibson received preferential treatment from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, a public service announcement that Gibson taped on their behalf has surfaced.

The PSA was recorded back in 2002 on behalf of a sheriff's charity, The Los Angeles Sheriff's Star Organization (LASSO).

In the spot, Gibson, dressed in a sheriff's uniform, pulls over Scott Baio to thank him for supporting LASSO. He implores viewers, "Give back to those who give so much."

91. What's the big deal. He was charged for being drunk and he will pay.

he has freedom of speech. Drunks usually say things they don"t mean.

I think he is a great person. The reaction of the Press, TV, and Hollywood verifies what many beleive: The jews run Hollywood, the media, and are Anti-Christian; and a religion with no nation.

Why do we see the Israel/lebanonon war 24 hrs/7days, on TV and front Page new s in the newspapers?

The U.S .is fight the war on terrorists in iraq and Afganistan, with 200,00 troops; while israel has 5,00 tropps in the fight. Yet never any news about our troops, battles, or military heroes. Maybe because the Jews are only concerned about Israel and they run the Media, and the Congress.

Look how many Jewish Congressmen (and women) and Senators in the U.S, and other than Lieberman, they are all without principals.

92. What I find more disturbing is how many of you feel that what he said was right. There is so much hatred in the world and definitely no peace. How can there be peace when our own government (democrats vs republicans) can't get along and never have. They are at war with each other and there are many different nationalities in the senate and house. How do you expect peace when families are at war with each other? There is so much bigetry in this world and it will never end.. Why? Because all of the people in Iraq, Iran, have been taught to hate at such a young age just as the people in the United States have been taught to hate because of their race, religion and where they came from. How truly pathetic.

93. Jeff York Sorry but Mel Gibson had that happen once if I'm not mistaken. No license..... I'll double check though. I hope before you wrote that uninsightful comment about Mel you made sure he hasn't paid before.

However I cannot name one person rich or poor, dumb or stupid handicapped or not that with exception to myself....... Nope not even me, that has entertained the notion that the law or outcome of some sort shouldn't apply to themselves.

their is an old saying a Colonel told me once and I've lived by it for 25 years. Never believe anything you hear(Like Fanatics with a book in there hands bearing the Word) and only half of what you see. (Like a Democrate with a gun duck hunting by pushing for gun control)

94. It is sick to think that there are people out there who think that "Jews are to blame for the ills of the world." This person (Ash) obviously is disheartened with their own life and feels it is necessary to blame someone else for his or her own inadequacies. Grow up, enter the civilized world!

I always love it when people say it was his childhood and that he is only repeating what he heard or experianced as a youth. As If a grown person doesn't have the sense when they get older to research and learn and make or modify their opinions. Mel Gibson I believe is an educated man and through his studies has made up his own mind about things. I dislike having to point out that the only people that are the victims in life is those that believe something written by a specific group and believe that the whole of mankind must comply to its words or perish in hell or by the very hand of those believers. I Concur with Mel Gibson's Opinions and some of them I don't because my education has proven otherwise. I say Do pity others for their beliefs, but pity yourselves for not educating yourselves to a level that when something that is said against your beliefs don't hurt you.


When I meet Mel Again I'm Going out and Buying him drinks and get sauced up and talk about these jews that chose to have executed the greatest Man in human history. what a bunch of dim witts. Their loss not mine. I'm a pronounced Pagan and I'll go to Valhalla in Due time.......

As for DUI, Hell - Because of all this Bullshit Media Crap I'd sentence him to time served. just to teach the stupid horn blowers without a cause a lesson about keeping their mouths shut. (Devil Advocate Opinion)

In Reality I'd throw the book at him like the courts did to my brother years ago.

97. hmmm...this is quite a 'Chainreaction' from people who obviously believe there is a 'Conspiracy Theory' behind every 'Tree of Life'. Not withstanding the comments from 'Complete Savages', I have to say the 'Signs' indicate that there was a 'Lethal Weapon' invovled when he drank and drove. However, even if you partake of a few ''Tequila Sunrise's, who are we to judge whether his remarks flowing through 'The River' of news commentary actually is hate or just self 'Punishment'? Besides, Mel 'Never Promised You a Rose Garden' this might all be 'Payback' for his anti-establishment films but we know he has a 'Braveheart' and we want him to keep 'The Passion'!

JJ Do you believe that Gays are Legitimate and should be treated with respect and excepted within your congregation?

Do you truely believe that your Satan has any power over my destiny or destination. Your sadly mistaken for I will travel to Valhalla a warrior and Family Man. But if you truely believe in your religion you have made the gravest of sins, you've spoken poorly against my Son. Shame on you Snapper Head. I hope your child make better followers of your faith than you.

100. I'm sorry about my bigoted, racist and intolerant child. They only let him out once in awhile on a day pass - my bad for letting him have access to the computer.

101. Post Number 100:

Odin be with you.

102. I will never ever give Mel Gibson's work the time of day. To say the things that he said and think that he can get away with it......well eventually he won't and I hope the movie making community completely does away with him. What a complete IDIOT!!! He must have only two f***ing brain cells. How sad for his family though. I can't imagine having to live with a guy like that. oh by the way MEL DUHHHHHH! Jesus was Jewish..... You know the guy you made a movie about.....once again you only have two brain cells!!!!!!!

103. We all know about a politician who drove off a bridge while drunk driving and drowned his female passenger and this politician swam ashore and left his drowned date in the car under water and walked home to sober up and call the police over twelve hours later to report the accident while sober and for this he never went to jail or was prosecuted for the crime and is still looks like a drunkin Senator to this day! How can we get so upset over an inebriated movie star that didn't hurt anyone while driving inebriated?

104. I just sat down to read any worldly updates, Lo and Behold, Mel Gibson is still right up there.....I would like it to be over, let the Hollywood big wigs handle him.
I was raised in a jewish home and had to listen to all my classmate put down jews, blacks, asians and gays...even in the 60's. Ignorance will never stop.
I myself don't give a damn what Mel Gibson says, I think he is a drunk and will always be one, apparently he can't remain sober, he readily admits to being an alcoholic. If he stayed and believed in his program I don't think he would even feel the way he does about non-christians, gays etc. Walk the walk, talk the talk.
His words, are from his father, which he also admitted on an interview before
the Passion was released. Asked if he believed the indignities of WW11, he would not comment, when faced with the facts that his own father didnt believe
about the Holocost ( forgive the spelling) he replied that his father never lied to him...making me feel he meant he didnt believe in it either. Was Hitler a dream?
I ask Mel Gibson to speak to Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg, they produced a very moving and great program shown on HBO "Band of Brothers" about WW11.
Included in this program were the actual men who were at the locations depicted in the different episodes. I believe he would have a rude awakening. I have always liked the movies that Gibson was in I think he is a talented actor and director, but, for now I dont feel I want to see anything else he has to show or say.
Straighten Up Mel, your life depends on it!

105. The problem is that he believes in one religion so intently that, of course, other religions must be wrong (oh, and by the way, the people who believe in the other religions intently believe that he is wrong or evil or however you want to phrase it). When people believe they have found the absolute answers, they are willing to believe anything about anyone else.

That's when they are dangerous. Here or in the Middle East.

Then, of course, you can just make fun of them all ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1411677315/ref=sr_11_1/104-9633264-8915903?%5Fencoding=UTF8
