Mel Gibson Cuts a Deal!

Posted by on August 17 at 13:18 PM

According to those snoops over at TMZ.com, Mel Gibson has successfully cut a deal that will keep him out of jail.

TMZ has learned Mel Gibson’s lawyer went to the Malibu Courthouse Thursday and appeared with the prosecutor to reveal a plea deal. Gibson has agreed to three years probation, but will avoid jail time. Gibson was ordered to attend one year of AA meetings. For the first four-and-a-half months he must attend five times a week. For the remainder of the time, he must attend three times a week. Gibson must also pay $1200 in fines and penalties as well as one hundred dollars in restitution.

Gibson volunteered to do a public service announcement on the hazards of driving under the influence.

If you’ll remember when BOY GEORGE was arrested, he asked to do a public service announcement in lieu of picking up garbage on New York streets—AND WAS REFUSED. Try insulting some Jews next time.

Man, wish I could get such a deal. Guess I'd have to be a friend of the God Emperor in DC, though.

"For the first four-and-a-half months he must attend five times a week. For the remainder of the time, he must attend three times a week."

State of CA to Gibson: We can at least keep you from making any more shitty films for a 6 mo. - 3 yr. period. Citizens of the world: You're welcome.

How is going to a couple of meetings going to prevent films? He can just hold his own meetings on the set.

Mel Gibson said Jewish people start wars. To speak such words is an antisemitic hate crime and Mel should be put in jail for life. Anyone who gets drunk and makes Jewish jokes must go to jail because we're the most oppressed people on earth.

Clearly, Boy George lacks the mobstah-style pull that Passion Of The Bigot has.

A bigot like Mel Gibson deserves jail time. Just when Israel is struggling to kill terrorists and their children in Lebanon, we've got Mel Gibson in Califorina blaming Jews for wars. We must all stand strong behind Israel and America while we're fighting wars. Mel Gibson is doing nothing but helping the terrorists.

Wot? Y'mean t'say we don't get to take his FREEDOM?????

3 years of probation? $1200 fine? That's fucking hilarious - most first time offenders in the state of California get five years of probation and a $2000 fine in addition to up to six months in jail AND some kind of drunk driving program.

as a fan of boy georges it made me sick to see him sweeping with people gawking..clearly mel got off because of his status of fame, in the 80's at the height of georges fame i doubt that would have happened. mel could have easily killed someone , georges only crime is hurting himself

it jus goes to show the more famous u are the more u can get away with.....boy george has been known to say in the 80's this would have never happened..i think its awesome the way he went out there and did it and made it comical...he is truly the most outrageous ordinary celebrity around

Mel Gibson is a drunk bigot!
