I'm very liberal and I do not support Roman. Although I do love his movies (Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorites) I don't see how his celebrity would matter. If it were an average American being charged with a crime and then flees for 30 years then gets arrested again, hell yeah he should do the time. He RAPED a 13 year old girl! and then RAN AWAY!
He ran away as his trial was not a fair one, even Mrs. Geimer said so herself...
He should have a trial, but a fair one... but that is not possible because he is famous and people want to see someone burn - and this time it is a Jew again named Roman Polanski!
"Celebrities can buy justice and the rest of us can't" How hypocritical. No...what the rest of us do is empty out their pockets BECAUSE THEY ARE CELEBRITIES. Samantha Geimer went for a big chunk of change with R. P. and got it. Is the average rape victim able to be set for life because of being raped? If you want justice equal with the celebrities then quit jumping on them for their millions, just as that kid did with M. J.
IT'S POLITICAL--did you listen to the French TV clip? He has a house in Switzerland. The balance of justice requires he be freed immediately. Many attractive 14 yo girls (though I won't say 13) have sex. Corruption as usual here. All these creeps who write Bible-Bash garbage are probably either exactly that, or are from the political dealers.
CHIMpOUT- real funny, you act like a 15 year old punk. since you obviously support his actions, you must be a child fucker,also, right? one day a woman or child you care about willbe hurt in this manner, and when it happens, i hope someone makes jokes about your bleeding little child who got raped by a 45 year old pervert.....or, wait....maybe daddy will do the honors, eh? fucking your own daughter probably sounds good to you, you fucking asshole.
"Mr. Polanski is a pedophile and rapist and should be treated like any other pedophile and rapist is."
Well said.
The ridiculous thing about this case is that Polanski has been allowed to evade justice for this long. He needs to serve a prison sentence (of length in accord with the extreme severity of his crime) for his initial crime _AND_ for fleeing justice all of these years.
Evaing justice for this long does not relieve him of responsibility for his crime - nor doees his fame. ROT IN JAIL
The ideal cellmate for Polanski would be Henry Kissinger a war criminal who in 1970 initiated the illegal bombing of Cambodia resulting in at least 600,000 civilian deaths at least one of which was a 13 year old girl.
Except that Henry enjoys complete immunity from prosecution in the US where he has been allowed to evade justice as long as Polanski has and where he is celebrated, fawned over, admired and consulted on news/talk shows and in the corridors of wealth, power, and academia.
He committed this crime when he was 43 yrs old. No intellectual 13 year old would consent to have sex. He admitted to his crime but when it came time to redeem himself by serving the time he ran like a coward to a country that wouldn't extradite him. He's a sexual offender and should spend his last years in jail like anyone else convicted of the same crime.
er... Guantanamo isn't in the U.S., that was kinda the whole point. It also was something initiated illegally by the previous administration and not approved of by the current.
Did you ever notice that the liberal will always resort to the claim that "there are more important issues that we need to attend to" whenever a fellow liberal gets himself into trouble. I guess if we leave Polanski alone we'll be able to send those folks in the judicial system over to Iraq or put them to work on the economy. This why I always say that LIBERALS ARE IDIOTS!
Plenty of liberals aren't defending him (and rightly condemn him), and those who are, I'm not sure their politcal inclination is relevant to their motivation. With the celebrities, it seems more some sort of misplaced industry loyalty/nepotism. I'll agree they're idiots though. 'Child Rape' = 'very f-ing Bad', is pretty much a standard position across the political spectrum. You don't really get to redeem yourself by having made some good movies. It remains wrong no matter how much time passes.
I hate to dissapoint you but the VAST MAJORITY of liberals are defending him. Check out the liberal blogosphere and the idiots on MSNBC. It's part of the sick liberal mindset to make excuses for fellow liberals no matter what the crime. This is no different than all the liberals defending Ted Kennedy for swimming to safety and not reporting that a woman just drowned in his car until the next day.
To be fair, I'm not sure that's really true. The elite Hollywood weirdos and Eurotrash are no doubt in full support of him, but from what I've read on message boards, most moderates and sane liberals are disgusted by Polanski and want him tried on all counts.
I'm with you on the Ted Kennedy thing, though. The far left would love to pretend that Chappaquiddick never happened.
First of all "moderates" are not liberals and secondly liberals are not sane so if you come across someone who claims to be a liberal but appears to be sane then they're probably not as liberal as they like to claim. The left-wing blogoshere is OVERWHELMINGLY on the side of "Roman" (as they like to call him). I've checked out ALL the major sites and it's absolutely DISGUSTING.
Well if you define liberals as only those who do support him, then yes, I suppose by the rules of circular logic all liberals do support him. I'm not disappointed by the way, I simply disagree with your evaluation based on my own observations, and suspect from the strength of your opinion and the polemic partisan position you espouse that you may be experiencing confirmation bias in your own observations.
Restating your opinion, even with liberal use of capitalisation, doesn't really counter anything I said.
Failing to scream in condemnation and call for a lynching, isn't the same as supporting. In fact responsible journalists would be trying not to inflate this any more than it deserves for the sake of his victim, who has expressed that the continuing publicity of this case has been very negative for her, ideally he should be seen as just another criminal fugitive and expediently extradited.
HA! HA! HA! Yeah okay... so all of a sudden we have liberal journalists showing respect for victims??? Since when did this becaime standard practice??? You also don't know what you're talking about since the victim is on record saying that "It's NEVER to late for justice to prevail and correct a wrong that occurred no matter how many years have passed." Liberals will do anything to prtect fellow libs even if it's at the expense of huring innocent children. Liberals are obsessed with celebrities.
Hm, I do actually know what I'm talking about; "Samantha Geimer filed to have the charges against Polanski dismissed from court, saying that decades of publicity as well as the prosecutor's focus on lurid details continues to traumatize her and her family."
It seems to me you're more interested in this apoplectic partisan polemic than condemning Polanski, so let's just agree to disgree.
Hey dumbell... rape is considered a crime against the State so A VICTIM CANNOT DROP THE CHARGES. In addition dumbo, the man had already plead guilty and fled before his sentencing. Perhaps you don't realize that the moment a plea is entered or a verdict is read NO MATTER WHAT THE CRIME a victim can't just step in and say I want it reversed. Using your dumbell logic any victim could ask that their perpetrator be released from prison whenever they felt like it. What an idiot.
er... no, you obviously haven't been paying attention. I am not advocating that she can or should be able to drop the charges, I fully agree that it is a crime against the state, these are simply facts -she did do this. What I'm doing is presenting the evidence that she did express that the continuing publicity of this case has had a hugely negative affect on her life. This has only been exacerbated by his remaining a fugitive all these years and is something else that should count against him.
What if the guy was a 76 year old plumber with a lifetime's excellent body of work behind him -- fittings, drains, repairs; all top notch, all a credit to his tradesmanship -- and he had done and been convicted of the same thing?
Would he be treated differently? I expect so.
Just because Polanski is famous and an elite artist in his field does not exempt him from the rules that the rest of society has to follow.
Polanski drugged and rape a 13 year old girl. It's time he faced the music.
It's disturbing to me how many people in that video, male and female, willing to excuse the admitted drugging, vaginal and anal raping of a child. There's no forgiving a conviction because of time. 90 year old Nazi war criminals are not forgiven years later, nor should they be. Mr. Polanski is a pedophile and rapist and should be treated like any other pedophile and rapist is.
Any man that say's it is no big deal and he should be let go. All these men I would bet my life are all molester's and let one touch my 13yr old and see how my justice will be served. He is a child molester period, If he gave his life to JESUS then he would truely be sorry can't imagine to many people from Hollywood giving their life to anything except money and Drugs and Sex.
Sorry, he committed the crime, he shd serve the time. As Effie said if an ordinary person he wd be in jail. If he did it once, he has been doing it all along. The Jewish community in Hollywood will come to his defence, he will get off you can be sure of that. He committed the lowest of crimes, so what if it was 30 yrs ago, he still did it. Arrest him and bring him back for trial. He is guilty as sin. They vilified MJ, I wonder if the same will happen to him.
IT'S POLITICAL--did you listen to the French TV clip? He has a house in Switzerland. The balance of justice requires he be freed immediately. Many attractive 14 yo girls (though I won't say 13) have sex. Corruption as usual here.

this is propaganda of the jews to save on of their own jew, i cannot believe the jews are using holocaust sympathy as an excuse to rape a 13 year old, imagine if a white christian or a black if he raped a 13 year old ,look how degrading the christians priest were made to look for their pedeophile activites,well jew is exception,,,,please holocaust me.
I am utterly disgusted that people are calling for Roman Polanski to be released! This paedophile has been 'on the run' for over 30 years! When he had sex with a 13 year old CHILD, he was in his mid thirties... god knows what he's been up to since then... if this had been Joe Bloggs, would we not want to see him punished? And as for the people who say the child 'consented'... isn't that why we have an age of consent?
