What should Mel Gibson's punishment be? (VANITY)
July 30, 2006 | Hildy

Posted on 07/30/2006 7:49:33 PM PDT by Hildy

Since so many here want so much to forgive Mel Gibson for his anti-semetic tirade and beligerent behavior towards law enforcement I was trying to come up with the best punishment. I think I got it. Besides the obligatory fine, I think the Judge should sentence him to 500 hours community service at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. What do you all think his sentence should be?

They should make him watch Schindlers List, the complete unedited 5 hour version 100 times.

Prosecute him for dui and speeding.

Other than that, nothing; free speech guaranteed under the Constitution.

I think that would fall under "cruel and unusual" punishment.

I'd take his license for drunk driving.

As far as punishing him for saying stupid things that's a joke. Freedom of speech means you have the freedom to be stupid.

Yes, but without out the idiotic tirade about Jews no one would have thought of the punishment you recommend. So his punishment for drunk driving is being confused with his malicious commentary. The punishment from California should be like what any other citizen would receive. People like you and me who are now fed up with him can stop paying for his films. That's how we express our outrage, as free citizens. We don't need the state to fix a bigot no matter how big his mouth is.

Carrying the label "anti-semite" for the rest of his life will be punishment enough.

Good point. I'm curious as to what precipitated the outburst. I mean, he's stopped by a cop, he's asked to get out of the car, and he just starts blurting out "F**KING JEWS..." I wasn't aware that the LAPD was primarily made up of Jews. In fact, I've never known a Jewish cop! He wasn't that drunk, .12 or whatever isn't over the top drunk. It's weird. I can't wait to hear how he explains it! It's gonna be kinda fun!

Irrespective of free speech considerations, I think everybody knows that folks who are dead drunk frequently say incoherent things, and things they don't believe.

I suspect he was simply running off something his father'd ranted about.

Notice I just got Hildy to "ask" me one of the same questions Mel asked the cops. Should we punish her? Or, just let her off the hook since she's not a rich hollywood producer, and presumably not drunk?

It isn't that drunk. I could be three times that drunk and never say the things he said. He gets it from his father. His dad's an anti-Semite. Case closed.

First of all he wasn't dead drunk...far from it. And people who ARE dead drunk don't usually say things they DON'T BELIEVE...they just say things they would ordinarily suppress.

And if I said, ARE YOU A F**KING Jew, maybe your next comment would be relevant...but it's not. So what you think is cleverness is just gibberish.
