The Assassination of Mel Gibson

HIS CHARACTER THAT IS

The media is going wild over Mel Gibson's arrest and subsequent anti-semitic tirade last weekend. For proof, just google the word tirade and see what comes up. CNN imparticular has basically consumed its weekend coverage with Gibson's problems. But why? The honest truth is that I have no idea. Obviously Mel Gibson needs some serious help. The man is an alcoholic and has had problems with booze for much of his adult life. Fine. Now comes the question of whether or not he truly hates Jewish people...I think so. Someone who isnt filled with hate would not blurt out comments like that upon being arrested, and I am a believer that you tend to be more honest when you're hammered.

With that said, I think its time that the media leave the guy alone so that he can hopefully persue some help for his problems. Its one thing to report a story, but its another thing to ram it down the throats of a public who really could careless about Mel Gibson and his feelings toward those of the Jewish faith. If you hate Gibson now, its understandable, dont go see his movies. Im not even sure if I will after all this bru-ha-ha, but again, we need to move on from it. There are much bigger problems going on in the world than the opinions of A-list celebrities, although many times one wouldnt think so. I think that Mel Gibson is the victim of a racist father, who has publically denied the Holocaust. While I can sympothize with that fact, it still does not excuse his actions last weekend, and he will be held accountable. But again I say, get over it.
