Mel Gibsons Racist Remark

[buzz]

Although I love my Savior and what He has endured for me, so I can be
redeemed, I don't believe in whitewashing this shame. I hope the
Messianic Jews and Christians who read this (or already have) will be
equally abhorred!!

Buzz has learned that Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested
Friday on suspicion of drunk driving, hurling religious epithets. Buzz
has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department had
the initial report doctored to keep the real story under wraps.
Buzz has four pages of the original report prepared by the arresting
officer in the case, L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy James Mee. According
to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific
Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday
morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson
repeatedly said, "My life is f****d."

Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become
violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not,
as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the
patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then
walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson
then said, "I'm not going to get in your car," and bolted to his car.
The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the
patrol car.
Buzz has learned that Deputy Mee audiotaped the entire exchange between
himself and Gibson, from the time of the traffic stop to the time Gibson
was put in the patrol car, and that the tape fully corroborates the
written report.
Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says
Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson
told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report
also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns
Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."
The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic
statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars
in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"


The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called ahead
for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they
arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and
then said, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"


A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female
sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"
We're told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped,
and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***"
Deputy Mee.


Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to
urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip
his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on
the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the
bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call.
He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn't get a dial tone, we're
told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned
Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony
vandalism. We're told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the
necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.


Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing Gibson's rampage
and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt it was too
"inflammatory." A lieutenant and captain then got involved and calls
were made to Sheriff's headquarters. Sources say Mee was told Gibson's
comments would incite a lot of "Jewish hatred," that the situation in
Israel was "way too inflammatory."
It was mentioned several times that Gibson, who wrote, directed, and
produced 2004's "The Passion of the Christ," had incited "anti-Jewish
sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is this really worth all
that?"


We're told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving
out the incendiary comments and conduct.
Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually
end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that
contained the redacted information -- a report that would be locked in
the watch commander's safe.


Initially, a Sheriff's official told said the arrest occurred "without
incident." On Friday night, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told :


"The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigation into the arrest of
Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be complete
and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing will be
sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this suspect or
any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles County
District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will be left
out."


On Saturday, Gibson released the following statement:
"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that
were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should
not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting
officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was
apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a
person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things
that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply
ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize
to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always
been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from
myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I
am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of
my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for
any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already
taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."



(Although Mr Gibson has apologized to the Sheriff's dept and has apologized to the Jewish Community!

One has to wonder what excessive use of alcohol and driving under the influence has to do with Jews.

The media is certainly attempting to crucify Mel Gibson. Is it the so called anti-semetic comments he allegedely made or is it pay back time for 'The Passion'. Whatever, the Jewish community I think has gone a bit over the top.

Welcome to 'Talkback Topic' - I'm Phillip Pye.

Mel Gibson is a self confessed Alcoholic who has had a good spell of sobriety until recently when he went in to a state of relapse, in other words, he did what every Alcoholic fears most about their disease when in recovery, he picked up a drink. In the field of Alcoholism, he busted. The feeling when this happens to an Alcoholic is disastrous. One is usually filled with self-guilt, remorse and fear when they sober up. Often they barely remember what has happened. Did they abuse anyone?, did they drive?, did they hurt anyone? are just some of the questions they ask themselves.

One wonders what makes an Alcoholic pick up a drink after a spell of sobriety. There can be a variety of reasons but usually an Alcoholic does not use any of these reasons as an excuse. You see for an Alcoholic to drink is normal, for an Alcoholic not to drink means a complete change of attitude and a hell of alot of hard work. It is one thing to put down the drink but it is another to maintain not drinking. The other fact is that Alcoholism is a progressive disease in that within a very short period of time one is back in full flight with the repercussions being as bad as when they last gave up, the disease comes back like a Tsunami.

Many Alcoholics have found by entering the doors of a a 12 step program, in particular, Alcoholics Anonymous which is a spiritual program, they can manage to keep the monkey on the shoulder at bay. In that I mean the demon in most Alcoholics that says deep inside, just have one, it'll be okay. The trouble is an Alcoholic cannot stop at one.

Mel Gibson's recent bust has left him in a fair amount of strife that I dare say he is very embarrassed about. In his recent state of drunkenness he made comments about the Jewish people which he openly admits were wrong. If one takes the time to read through any of the many Alcoholics Anonymous Web Sites they will find that the AA Program has 12 steps. If one reads through the 12 steps they will find that Mel Gibson has adhered to Step 10 in that he has admitted he was wrong and has promptly apologised for his actions. A noble gesture or not, there is very little more one can do after the fact. He cannot turn back the clock as much as he would dearly love to.

An apology though does not appear to be enough for the Jewish Community who appear to want to almost crucify the man who has also done much good in society. Their memories are but short and they only seem to want revenge. Their methods of doing so are to obviously ruin him in his chosen career.

If I was in the same shoes as Mel, (and I have been), about the best I could ever do is what Mel has already done, and that is to apologise and mean it. If they are not prepared to understand the situation that has been as a result of a very powerful illness then they have forgotten the Christan principle of 'forgiveness'.
I would forgive them for their attitude and pray to my higher power for them. What more can one do.
