Oh fer cryin out loud. I'm not bashing Mel. I hope he gets help, and I hope he takes responsibility for his actions.
I always get annoyed with people who decry drunk drivers as long as they're people they don't admire. Your excuse-making for Mr. Gibson isn't helping anyone.
You seem oblivious to the fact that Mel has been the object of a 3 year witch hunt - for making a Christian movie.
And it appears that despite his charity work for the Sheriffs dept, he has been "pulled over" several times for
"speeding" - something that everyone does everyday.
And now they finally got him after having 3 drinks and when Mel realized his worst fears of the last 3 years, of course he flipped out.
