Mel may be no angel, but I suspect his wife is a saint!
also his refusal to make any public effort to restrain gross irresponsibility by congress in various spending issues until it became a media issue in the last year, and his entitlement expansions/inventions. any claim by republicans to be a small-government party are laughable at this point. his refusal to veto anything in 5 years until this month would be included.
for me, foreign policy and judicial appointments are the positive highlights of the bush admin, along with an end to incessant gun control mantras from dem pols. I do think gun control itself changed and will be harder to resurrect as a result of 9/11, not that the next dem president wont try.
No one says he used force- or at least I didn't read such.
The question is what he was screaming and there is no way that either bigotry or obscenities would be considered special incidental circumstances to the arrest.
If this report is not true then you will hear of a defamation suit in the very near future.
I know Mel has had drinking problems in the past, but this does not mean he said any of the garbage he is reported to say per this article posted here. I for one have no intention of believing it unless it comes from reliable sources.
Maybe...{{{shrug}}}
Probably the "sugar toes" crack. I can't see a female cop taking that as a compliment.
Yes, his hands were the ones pictured during that scene of "The Passion".

So, do I get to make a crack about him being hammered?
My favorite is still Glen Campbell. Hit and run DUI and he sang Rhinestone Cowboy in his cell. And I love Glen - think he's one of the most talented people left on this earth. Some of us just fall down sometimes.
LOL! Close enough I'd say.
Unfortunately, I tend to believe the claim that Gibson launched into a tirade against Jews, especially given the razzing many Rabbi's gave him during the release of "Passion of the Christ".
After all, you gotta figure that Gibson, at some level, loves his father and therefore would tend to resent or hate those who point out the fact that old man Gibson is a raving anti-Jewish lunatic.
Looks like Gibson is another Hollyhwood icon I will be avoiding like the plague.
Sad, too. I kinda liked his acting.
Oh man, I forgot all about the country western world of drinking. A target rich environment.
Maybe this is a ploy of Gibson's (his agent suggested it) to revive his career. After his Passion of Christ, he was probably black-listed by the socialist/athiest Hollyweird elites, and this is his way of saying "See? I'm human. I erred. I've seen the ""light"". No more religion for me! Now I hate Jews as much as you do. Take me back into the fold.....PLEEEZE!"
Either that, or it's all just a typical leftist LIE.

I'm surprised Hollywood doesn't like Mel, given the fact that they think he's anti-Semitic.
I hope the cops had a video camera running with audio.
Being in front of the camera may have been what set him off...if the tape ever surfaces don't be surprised if he also performed the Braveheart speech in the middle of PCH.
Left coast Hollywood showing its true anti-jewish colors. No surprise.
Unfortunately, "him" is interchangeable with Mel and Jesus. As usual, Jesus is innocent.
How sure are you that racial or sexual comments wouldn't be considered obstructing arrest or creating a disturbance? Especially when they are reported in the article as being directed towards the cops.
Is Hollywood anti-semitic or anti-Isreal? There are a lot of non-practicing self-loathing jews in Hollywood
