I can't believe this crap.

There are people here crucifying the man for a drunken (free speech) tirade, and yet they argue and say they will fight for censorship.

Hypocrites!

Either Gibson had the right to say what he said and should face no retribution and thus free speech OR he should be condemned for the rantings of a drunken man and thus we all need watch what we say and Heaven forbid we ever get drunk and say something we regret.

As for the Sheriff cover-up, the only reason anyone cares about what happened is he is a celebrity and people like to see famous people get into trouble and have problems..... it somehow allows us to feel better.... it's why soap operas are so big.

He is being investigated for drunk driving and probably will be found guilty.... NOT for what he said. I cannot believe how quick we are to want to see blood and someone's carerr and life be destroyed because they made a mistake.

There is also someone above who said something to the effect ".12 what a lightweight". Alcohol affects people differently. If you have drank long enough you experience a tolerence break where your liver is pretty much fried and you get drunk on low doses. This could be a reason, another could be he had been on a bender and the alcohol was wearing off. He could have been depressed that he relapsed and he had a tirade to point fingers as to why.

Who knows..... not one of us were there, not one of the fucking talking head/gossip columnists were there. Speculation, rumors and gossip are pathetic ways to try a person.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
