“And apparently you approve of both actions.”
So, although he was very drunk, and his judgment was so impaired by the drink that he was doing something so foolish as driving drunk, you insist that these remarks must indicate his true feelings with accuracy?
Is that fair? Couldn’t it be at least possible that when sober he was ashamed of what he had said, and that upon sober reflection he doesn’t believe it at all?
Um, he blew a .12 BAC.
.12 is drunk, but its "You know Bob, I always thought your wife was hot." drunk, not foaming at the mouth bat&$%* crazy ranting drunk. Not even close. I like Mel and really think that this was a very regretable incident that I'm sure he sincerely regrets. Assume an undiagnosed psychotic disorder if you need an excuse, but lets not pretend that he was more drunk than he was.
Yes, Mel was very drunk and he drove.
That action on his part was illegal and put innocent people’s lives at risk.
That action, makes Mel a criminal.
And when Mel was drunk, he said that all the wars in the world are the fault of the Jewish People.
Now, while I cannot crawl into Mel’s head, I do know that alcohol does not make one become a person with different world views. Rather, alcohol simply helps people lose their inhibitions.
Thus, simply because Sober Mel does not publicly say that the Jews cause all the wars, does not mean that he does not think that. Instead, when he gets a few drinks in him, he spouts his anti-Semitic Vile.
And those together make Mel a Criminal and an anti-Semitic pig.
