Mel Gibson - Page 2

It appears there is now verifiable reports of what Gibson said. Unfortunately for him, being a public figure means that all aspects of his life are on display. That is part of the job. If a person doesn't want to be in the spotlight, they shouldn't go into a public arena to make a living. I like Mel Gibson and agree that up to this point, he has been a good public example of a family man. He seems sincere in his apology and has taken steps to make amends. Considering his remarks, he is fortunate that the sentiment is a forgiving one.

I think this has to do with the way the public has embraced his persona in the past.

*Sigh* Why Mel, why?

This is unfortunate, but I think he's a pretty good guy and genuinely wants to be a good person and make a difference. It's no excuse, but when you're hammered you say and do things you wouldn't otherwise.

From what I gather, his father is anti-sematic, so it's my guess that he's probably been exposed to these kind of comments from a young age. It's not surprising they would come to the surface.

But, in my opinion, his comments are nothing compared to the fact that he was driving while smashed. That, to me, is more unforgivable than anything he might have said. Big star or Average Joe - I don't care - drunk driving shows complete disregard for others.

I hope he doesn't do it again.

In the very least he is not running from his crime, but I wonder if everyone would get the same 'treatment'? In some places jail time is mandatory for driving drunk as it can lead to death being that a vehicle has the potential to be a deadly weapon.

In many places, that is the normal type of punishment for first time drunk driving. Some other places, it is much worse. I don't think that he got any special treatment in the legal system.

I know people who have gotten worse or less than he got for drunken driving, I don't think he got special treatment. However, I can't believe people are letting him off the hook for the anti-semitic statements, accepting some ridiculous apology and claim that he isn't anti-semitic. He didn't go insane when he was drunk, it wasn't a moment of insanity, it was a moment of complete honest! Anyone who has been drunk knows that you are more honest when drunk than any time. Your inhibitions are gone so you will say the things your mind normally tells you that you shouldn't say. If he wasn't Mel Gibson, he would be labeled a hate monger, anti-semitic, and bigot. He has definitely been given the easy road here because of his status. His father hates jews, his movie blames the jews, and he allows hates jews. He can deny it all he wants, he showed me his true feelings when he spouted off when he was without inhibitions due to alcohol.
