5) Lay low for a while.
6) Make triuphment return, with all forgotten.

This seems to be the path Mel Gibson is taking. Everyone got really mad at him when it happened, but now Hollywood has moved on. He is coming out a another movie. Guess we'll have to wait and see if people are actually mad and won't see it (doubt it). So far I can't really tell of any fallout for Mel Gibson.
Difference is Gibson is a huge star, Richards career was dead before this...even if he follows the above formula, why would another comedy club owner ever want him to perform in their club?
