Why do liberals make excuses for actual felons


and have it in for this guy sooooo much?

The left has either been ignoring the riots, and defending them in some cases, wants felons to have voting rights, wants to get rid of police, etc., but Mell Gibson is where they draw the line. Why is every crime forgivable in their eyes except racism?

And racism by a man diagnosed as bi-polar and is a legitimate alcoholic. George Floyd, who absolutely did not deserve to be murdered, put a gun to a pregnant woman's head and is being memorialized. I'm not even defending anything Gibson has done, but when you look at the facts they speak for themselves. He has at least two mental illnesses. He's worked with Danny Glover (black), Richard Donner (Jewish), Jodi Foster (lesbian) almost all of whom have spoken out on his behalf. Whoopi Goldberg, an extremely liberal black woman, has defended him. But his detractors think they know more about him than his friends and colleagues.

Christ, Alec Baldwin called his own daughter a pig and assaulted a photographer and he's beloved. But Mel? Nope, can't forgive him.

I don't think Mel and I would see eye to eye on much at all politically and I have been disappointed by certain actions of his, but that has nothing to do with his talent as an actor or director. I would still happily pay to see a Gibson film.

I don't see what he has to do with George Floyd at all, completely different situations. It's odd you would correlate the two.

He is pointing out the hypocrisy of the woke brigade. The short answer to his question is that Mel Gibson is a rich old white guy.

Yeah well I reject that left leaning people are campaigning to have him cancelled. That sounds like media-speak for studio execs being too nervous to hire him. If indeed there is an online campaign to ensure he never works again, I'm unaware of it. Every time Mel has landed in hot water it has been by his own hand so I think it's unfair to blame others for the state of his career. Seems the OP is using Mel to make a personal political point and I think that is just as unfair to Mel as people supposedly not "forgiving" him.

Floyd, while he didn't deserve what happened to him, committed worse crimes than Mel ever did. He threatened to shoot a pregnant woman's child. He's being made a martyr.

Mel has said racist things and racism is the worst thing in the world according to the libs.

As Billy pointed out, I'm noting the hypocrisy in woke circles. One is forgiven - the worse one - one is not.

another shitpost disguised as a discussion about an actor using false equivalency (George Floyd) to excuse away Mel's mishaps.

Liberals are not some singular behemoth either. Hollywood has a lot of Jewish executives, so when Mel has a handful of instances where he expresses some deep-seeded hatred for Jews it's gonna create at least some form of backlash right? That being said, he's good friends with Jewish actors like Robert Downy Jr

Shh, don't use logic and reasoning on this website! Don't you know those two things are frowned upon here? Just be a red-pilled virgin like the rest of us! For example, I hate blacks because all the girls at my school like blacks guys. Uh, I mean...no, that's what I meant.

reply

I know a few libtards that love his films (Acting and Directorial) but always add an insult to him after gushing about one of his movies, never would they do that to anyone else, unless Donald Trump starts directing movies! 🙄

Because they’re brainwashed lemmings. Don’t look for logic in liberal beliefs. You won’t find any.
