Mel Gibson Bigot?

There have been reports that following his arrest for drunk driving, Mel Gibson made some bigotted comments about Jews.
The entertainment news Web site TMZ says it obtained four pages of Gibson's original arrest report.

According to the report, Gibson went on an anti-Semitic, expletive-laden tirade, where he allegedly threatened the arresting officer and tried to escape arrest.

During his arrest, he reportedly said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and asked arresting officer James Mee "Are you a Jew?"

Gibson has acknowledged some wrongdoing and apologized, saying in a statement: "[I] said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable."

"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," he said. "I am deeply ashamed of everything I said."


Some argue that alcohol brings out your real feelings. Let's hope he gets the help he needs.
