Why Did People EXCUSE George Floyd's Past, But NOT Mel Gibson's? (VIDEO)
YouTube ^ | 6/26/20 | Patrick Rooney

Mel Gibson was fired from a movie after Winona Ryder accused him of anti-Semitic and anti-gay comments decades ago. So why is this famous movie star and director treated this way, while so many people excused George Floyd's (and Winona Ryder's) past?

Did I miss something? Is Mel Gibson dead?

What are the odds he actually said this? The left loves to say all kinds of things happened decades later without being able to prove it.

Because Mel Gibson is alive, and seems to keep sticking his foot in variations of the same hole, so it’s not really his past it’s his pattern. George Floyd is dead, and 4 cops just watched it happen without a hint of basic human decency. He doesn’t get to stick his foot in holes anymore.

You’re wrong, and didn’t watch the video, clearly. Mel Gibson is being harrassed for the SAME actions he has already paid for years ago. Get educated before you go off at the mouth.

I agree with you. No proof at all... as usual.

You’re wrong. Mel keeps falling in this hole every few years. Doesn’t matter which incident Ryder is complaining about. It isn’t unique and he hasn’t learned not to be an ass. And apparently neither have you.

You’re the ass, discostu. This woman is talking about an incident from 25 YEARS AGO! How would you like to have something this old cost you employment? You know it’s wrong, and you can’t defend it. So don’t even try.

Ted Kennedy could have sex in public with no problem but they had to go back 30 years to find a complain on Judge Moore to crucify him.

And you’re need to insult shows you don’t understand the facts. It wasn’t a one time incident. He continues to regularly go on anti-Jewish tirades including Holocaust denial just a few years ago. Then there’s multiple domestic violence incidents. The guy is quite simply no good. And demonstrably hasn’t learned any lessons from it.

That may or may not be true (what Mel Gibson has done recently). I don’t know. But he was fired for what he supposedly SAID 25 years ago! Do you hear me???? How can you defend this?

No he was fired because somebody was smart enough to remind them he had an established pattern that in these times of hyper awareness was pretty much guaranteed to spawn bad press before the project was completed. That’s business.

Sounds like it was probably YOU who reminded them. Now get lost!

Nope and nope. This is gonna happen. Teams change names. Other teams should change names (why in blazes do the Jazz play in Utah, I mean I know the sequence of events, but really). It’s not a smart hill to die on. Which is probably why Snyder is so hellbent on it. He has been, since day one, the worst owner in the league. Another reason he should have changed the name when he bought it, to not sully the Redskins tradition with 20 years of mediocrity. He’s not a good owner, he’s not a good person. Don’t make him a hero.

Oh whoops. Wrong thread. But still nope and nope. And Mel Gibson is a scumbag. If you don’t want to be reminded of that TFB. Cause he SUCKS. He’s an anti-Semite, he’s a philanders, he’s an abuser. He is SCUM.
