Gibson's crime was domestic violence and making death threats against his girlfriend. Those threats were a felony, he made the threat, and provided the means by which he would kill her, thus placing her in fear for her life. With his previous DUI and resisting arrest, if he were some 9-5 worker, he would have been charged by the DA, but because he's Mel Gibson...special treatent.
Guess which one, the domestic abuser or the drug addict, is far, far, far more likely to use firearms against their romantic partner. If you had guessed the abuser you would be right. Battered domestic partners, especially when they are trying to leave the relationship, are one of the most common groups to be murdered by firearm. It's why so many sane states have red flag laws and Extreme Risk Protection Orders. It's also why there is a Brady section in every DV No Contact Order forcing the respondent to turn in their guns.
I heard the pardon attorney tell her story on a news show and it makes perfect sense, no holes. She was right to deny that POS his guns. In fact, Dotard should revoke his citizenship and deport Mel to Australia for being a violent Anti-Semite. Ohhh, that's right Mel's not brown skinned.
Dotard just painted a giant target on the back of every American citizen. There are thousands of Palestinians in this country who have lost family and friends in Nuttyahoo's genocide. Many I'm sure hold allegiance to their people. Now Dotard will compound their hate by kicking them out of their home and developing it as some sort of cheap resort. That resort will be in constant fear of terrorist acts, and now so will the US. Our allies will be unwilling to share intel with Putin's ---- dumpster Dotard and Putin puppet Gabbard, and with Patel having the FBI chase their tails in attempts to prosecute Dotard's perceived enemies and chase his petty grievances compounded by the dismissal of thousands of good FBI personnel, the chances of successful domestic terror attacks just ticked up 100%. Hopefully it's just propane bombs and vehicle attacks, because a dirty bomb would not be out of the question, what with the regime firing the people who monitor our nuclearinfrastructure. If there is a successful attack, it will be owned by Dotard, Patel, Elong, and MAGAt voters. And unlike the Bush regime taking their eye off the ball on 9/11, Americans see what is happening to our government, and there will be no coming together as a country, instead there will be pitchforks and torches descending on the WH and Mango Lardo.
