> 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.
Fact #1: Everybody drifts 5-10 MPH over the speed limit. Mel regularly goes 20-30MPH over, which is freakin dangerous. No big conspiracy-- police are going to go after those.
Fact #2: Mel was measurably drunk and abusive to the police who pulled him over. If the average Joe did that, he'd be thrown under the jail.
Is Hollyweird using this as an excuse to over-punish a conservative? Sure. Other celebs have continued careers after having rehab-worthy issues and run-ins with the law.
But was the law enforcement action appropriate to Mel's actions? Absolutely, and probably too lenient until now.
I'm glad to see this thread moved to the gossip section where it belongs. The biggest mistake faithful Jews ever made is siding with Leftist Hollywierd in Mel Bashing.
Face it! After being pulled over "repeatedly" for doing something that everone does, The wolves finally caught Mel after he had three or four drinks and they have their pound of flesh. Do not doubt for one minute this is notconsidered "Payback" for Mel's making and succeeding with the Passion - a beautiful Christian film.
And how wonderful that this is alienating Christians everywhere that will line up in GREATER NUMBERS to see Mel's next film. ("But the deputy already said Mel's career is ruined". I don't think so.)
Just what we need while we have all these brave soldiers in harms way in the middle east.
