Neither being artistically gifted nor a celebrity should have any bearing on a case at law. What he did was criminal. He fled justice. Justice has caught up with him. Fade picture and sound.

He is a GIFTED artist- and a pedophile who never paid his debt to society for DRUGGING AND RAPING A CHILD.

It seems strange that they couldn’t have set this up many, many years ago. On the other hand, I’m not sure how much sympathy I can conjure for a man who sodomized a 13-year-old girl. “Hey, he had a bad life” some nitwit says, but just how does that justify comitting a horiffic act on a child?

Oh, and “Repulsion” kinda sucked. Just sayin’.

Polanski has already plead quilty to the charges. He fled before sentencing.

I liked Dennis Miller’s take on this from yesterdy’s show – extradite Polanski or settle it in a Swiss court and have him admit guilt. Then he should pay a seven figure sum to a trust or charity that rescues or protects under-age gals from exploitation. It combines a penalty with the moral clarity of a judgement on child-rape.

Any mitigating circumstances such as the Holocaust or the Manson murders could only be considered during sentencing. They have nothing to do with his guilt.

And I have no idea how those things have anything to do with drugging and anally raping a teenaged girl.

So “we” are scary for wanting someone who drugs and rapes a child to pay for his crimes? I think that staement says volumes more about France (at least Mr. Mitterand) than it does about us and I am more than comfortable where “we” come out in this equation. I think being against child rape put you on the winning side every time.

Perhaps such events would be acceptable if they happened to someone in Mr. Mitterand’s family, as long as the perpetrator had the proper “artistic” value and contributions. Words cannot express my disgust for Polanski’s actions and defenders.

I thought the left was all about equal justice for the poor and the rich. Apparently in Hollywood it’s actually equal justice for the poor and the unconnected unartistic rich.
