This whole situation is so retarded.
Ok, first of all, he gets pulled over for speeding. Then makes anti-Jewish comments, tries to escape, all kinds of stuff. Look it up if you haven't heard.
And he did all this with a blood alcohol level of .12%. That's like 3 beers, people. It takes just three beers for him to become a raving lunatic. Further, he says he's "fought alcoholism his whole life".
Ok fine, he's an experienced drinker.... so then 3 beers for him is like 1 Odouls for me, right? How's that any better?
Further, all of Hollywood is now out to get him. How does THAT make sense? Hollywood stars and directors do worse stuff all the time. Hell, they put worse stuff on TV all the time. Here's a timely headline from FARK.COM:
Mel Gibson might be ostricized by those in Hollywood for his actions. If he had just drugged and raped a 13-year old girl or married his ex's daughter like a normal director he'd be fine
They're refering to Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, btw
Further more, I just can't stand it when a well-known Christian does this kind of crap and make us all look bad. If you're going to get publicly religious and in everybody's face about it, then you better have your life together, AT THE VERY LEAST.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

Oh well. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, I couldnt give a @!#$ less.
As long as he still makes badass movies im a happy camper
He's just another blow hard Hollywood star. I don't think it's any differant then any of the other stuff these people do. So he hates Jews. OK, he's an idiot. He got a DUI. OK, I know a lot of people who have gotten them, it happens. Not that it's ok, but he is human. So, he hit on a cop while he was drunk. I've done worse when I was drinking. I don't think this is front page news. Just cause he was Mad Max doesn't make him any differant then anyone else.
And, before anyone adds this, I know it's front page news because he's Mel Gibson. People hear his name and want to pay for the paper or turn on the news. I just don't personally think it should be given any more attention then if it happened to Jackalope. Ya' know what I'm saying?
He's going to go to the Betty Ford clinic for a few days or weeks and he will have some big emotional comeback and even probably write a book. Everyone will aplaud his bravery for being so open with it and for getting back in the movies. All the while he is doing the exact same thing he was doing before. It will happen. Mark my words.
