Shia Sorry for Using Anti-Gay Slur

Young actor Shia LaBeouf is making negative headlines yet again for a viral video making its rounds. In it, the actor engages in a slap fight (honestly, we don’t really know what we'd call it) where he coaxes his friend into smacking him across the face by calling him a derogatory term. His lawyer released a statement to E! Online that his 21-year-old client is "embarrassed" and "regrets having used the word in any capacity." Wait, does it count as an apology if it's coming from the lawyer?

I thought this Country was a Democracy with freedom of speech. If we have freedom of speech that means I or Shia or anyone SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK HIS/HER THOUGHTS FOR OR AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS, ATHIESTS ETC. I am extremely tired of celebrities telling me how I should live, speak,etc. it is like the pot calling the kettle black. We are like Rome before it's fall with Calligula, Nero. Morality was thrown to the wind then the mighty state fell. Is another Sodom and Gomorrah soon?

Please...he has no choice but to apologize because he was made a public spectacle. I am so tired of politically correct terms. This whole country is going down the toilet because we constantly have to deal with this non-sense. Get over it.
