Or does he just not care?

Also, for the people who do know about Mel Gibson, would you go see Lethal Weapon 5 anyway?

A lot of great things are created by crazy people. The VW Bug was Hitler's baby, but people still loved it. Although I think it's harder to separate the content when a person's face is on it (re: OJ, MJ, Louis CK, Cosby, etc.).

Boycotting a movie is an easy sacrifice for principles compared to Danny Glover sacrifice what might be the last big paycheck of his career. Maybe he cares more about his family than he dislikes Mel Gibson's personal beliefs? Would you quit your job if you found out the CEO of your company held beliefs similar to those of Mel Gibson?

He was as famous for his child molestation as he was for his music. Surely you are aware.

His daughter I believe released a voice message where he was roaring drunk, ranting and raving about jews at least. Probably black people too I can't remember it was a while ago.

an investigator on the case told them: 'The documents exposed Jackson as a manipulative, drug-and-sex-crazed predator who used blood, gore, sexually explicit images of animal sacrifice and perverse adult sex acts to bend children to his will.'

The source added: 'He also had disgusting and downright shocking images of child torture, adult and child nudity, female bondage and sadomasochism.'

The report states that many of the materials featuring naked men and women in the home could be used for the purpose of trying to attract young men.

After the descriptions for many of the materials, the investigator notes: 'Based on my training, this type of material can be used as part of the "grooming" process, by which people (those seeking to molest children) lower the inhibitions of their intended victims and facilitate the molestation of said victims.'

These materials include 'a book depicting nude children' found in the singer's 'arcade room'; 'a book which contained nude photographs of men' in the 'master bathroom'; and multiple books found in the 'master bedroom' that included one with 'naked and semi-naked gay men' and another with 'pre-teen or early teenage individuals' who in some cases were 'nude or semi-nude'.

And the smoking gun from a 13 year old boy:

Jordan however was able to perfectly describe Jackson's buttocks, pubic hair, and distinctive marks on both his testicles and penis.

The mark on the penis could only be seen if it was lifted and was otherwise not visible.

Daymn! That's some terrible stuff. Michael was a sick man, but his music was brilliant. Does that mean I have to feel guilty if Billie Jean comes on and I start grooving to it? Do I have to throw out my Braveheart DVD because Mel is a racist, sexist, anti-gay asshole?

It's hard to separate an evil person from the good works they may have produced. I'd see every trace of Michael Jackson's work destroyed before I'd worry about Mel Gibson and his ugly words (which don't amount to much in my book compared to him allegedly hitting his wife.)

How do we compare that to taking and destroying Charles Manson's prison art work as fast as he created it? Or how about the VW Beetle being developed from an idea Hitler had?

Good and evil in human beings isn't so easy to quantify sometimes.
