Mel's Moonshadows Madness

46. Just remeber the facts: Mel Gibson was arrested for DUI with a blood alchol level of .012 after leaving a bar in Malibu. He was not arrested for remarks during the interrogation or field sobriety tests. He was solely arrested for DUI as he was putting himself and the public in harms way for driving under the influence with a BA well above the legal limit.

HE WAS DRUNK!!! You say a lot of stupid, mean and sometimes demeaning things when your drunk and might think they are even whitty. Especially when your stopped by law enforcement and can't the count the fingers on you hand. You know what's going to happen and probably say mean things.

That doesn't convict you of DUI.

47. I agree with Joy, you two are total idiots and uneducated too. Israel didn't "start " this fight nor did they "start" anything in Europe. 6 1/2 million Jews were slaughtered in Germany and they will NOT stand by silently and let another band of terrorists kill their people again. Do you think for one minute the USA would stand by silently if Canada or Mexico were shooting rockets and missles at us? From what I can tell you probably do.

48. For Joys comments, why is it that you are remembering just the jewish holocust and not other nationality holocusts that's happening all over the world. And as far as Arab, they are talking about the situation going on now with the Middle East, that's very clear to me. As far as Mel goes, he's free to speak as he feels, after all this is a free country and everyone has the right to say what they want to say. I do agree with others comments about drinking and driving, specially a famous person like Mel should have thought about it before drinking, but things happen in life and hopefully it won't repeat. I respect him and will support him in his moviemaking.

49. I bet Mel's wife is happy to evidence of Mel's activities ... those will come into good use when she divorces him.

50. I'd like to know why so many people are sitting in the judge's seat. The majority of us have gotten shit faced and said/did stuff that we didn't mean or ended up being ashamed of ourselves after being enibriated. Not to mention, the guy is an alcoholic, so it goes alot further than the actions he was busted for the other night. He's a huge movie star and a genius director. He has an obligation to the public because he is famous and has to maintain a certain image. But he IS human for crying out loud. If every joe blow in the world was held accountable to the entire world for what they said to a cop when they were drunk, we'd all be screwed.

51. Manush Comment 35 - You are my hero of the day. Thank you for making sense Earth brother. It must make Joy feel better to make others feel bad. Oh my - isn't that what Mel did? Hmmmmmmmmm!

52. yea, a 0.12 my bum! there had to more than that in his system for him to go totally off the deep end...if that little can make him cross the line and potentially derail his career than as a drinker he is a GIRLYMAN!

53. I see the pictures of him hanging all over these women, did he every once give a thought to how his wife would feel or his children. All he needed to do was call a taxi or a friends to take him home. Of I was his wife I'd kick him to the curb and I have always been a big Mel Gibson fan. Hopefully his stay in rehab will help him, he must have a lot of damage control to do at home. I feel sorry for his wife and children.

54. I think he owes a bigger apology to his WIFE and CHILDREN. I would hope that he would be more worried about what they think of him than the rest of the world. I understand he has an addiction, but those photos have to be very hurtful to a woman who has stood by him steadfastly for the past quarter century.
GROW UP MR. GIBSON!! The days of "partying with fans" should be long gone by now. Go home where you belong and stay there!

55. Boo Hoo Boo Hoo! I am so sick of the Jews cry, the Blacks cry, the Mexican cry.....everyone needs to get a life! Did I leave a minority out of that statement? Too bad!
So the guy isn't what you want him to be....well stick it in your ear. We all have CROSSES to bear and when any of you can prove you are perfect, then nominate yourself for the next election. Mel Gibson is human and if you can't take what came out of his mouth then get the hell out of the United States. After all, its all you crying "mixed culture addicts" that brought us into this multi racial society so reap what you sow. And by the way, who ever said that when you are drunk the truth comes out? Some of the worst bull shit comes out of the mouths of drunks. Don't apologize Mel, we have freedom of speech or do we?

56. When is Harvey Levin going to come up with the Sheriff's car "dashcam" video of the incident?

We're in a video age - where's the video????

57. It seems that many of the comments are filled with the same level of vitriol and hatred that Mel Gibson had recently.

58. Gibson apparently made the anti-Semitic rant because he perceived (correctly) that the arresting oficer was Jewish. His comments were not political commentary on the war-- he was harassing a sheriff's officer for being Jewish.

The perception that Gibson is anti-Semitic is based not only on the Malibu rant, but on his reputation in Hollywood, his refusal to disavow his father's Holocaust denial, on his Passion movie, which came not straight from the Bible, but rather was based on an anti-Semitic German book, and on Gibson's antagonistic response to concerns expressed about his Passion movie.

Obviously, Gibson has supporters who defend his right to drink and drive at twice the speed limit, and to harass a Jewish deputy because of the deputy's perceived ethnicity, but clearly Gibson is not defending his right to do these things. I hope that he is sincere in his desire to make amends.

59. Yup, lets judge Mel for behaving like King David. Read the old testiment children, the Jews perfected all the sins, even wrote them in stone.

60. I believe Jack's on to something with the BAL of 0.12. You would think one would be able to handle themselves a bit better with that level. I felt the same whe I heard it; maybe there's more, such as oxy or hydrocodone.
