This bizarre event brought to light numerous issues which lead to and perpetuate violence in our society.

Firstly, the media should not have given so much attention to Gibson. Publicity makes an abnormal act appear normal to people like Gibson who may have psychological problems. He should not be credited with making any "statement" about art. An artist controls his medium; Gibson did not control this situation; he admitted that he had not expected the responses he received.
