Since Sarkozy is a Jew and Mitterand is a pedophile (bought a boy in Thai), its no wonder they moved quick to protect lolicom rapist Polanski.
Jewish are the people hunting down old Nazi for decades with no mercy, but begging to free a rapist only because he is a so-called film director.
Its all possible, because of Jewish money and France is lame.
You French who support Polanski are giving the impression above to the whole world.
Is that what you want?
I feel sorry for taxpayers of France.
DavidFSF: Your 13 year old is a slut? You need to get her professional counseling right now. Get a grip and help your daughter.
The purpose of jail is punishment for the crime to prevent recurrence. In the best situation there will be reform and no recidivism. Polanski did not complete his punishment required (not only agreed to by him but required) by the law nor was there reform. He continued to date children and remained unrepentant. He skipped out before completing his sentence end of story – he is getting exactly what he gave that 13 year old girl unwilling imprisonment.
Olivia, right now Websters is readying your picture to put next to the word gullible. DavidFSF is likely a teen-aged boy who would laugh at you if you were up this late to read your reply.
I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. She wants it dropped, but he did do it. He should be punished, but it’s a man thirty years his senior that should be punished not a man who would be released because of his age if he were in jail now. I side with letting it go only because it’s what the girl (now a woman) wants. In our lust for vengeance should we really be ignoring the victim’s wishes?
I could see where the victim is coming from on how the media is pursuing this–however, the media isn’t directly responsible for the coverage. It is a biproduct of Polansky’s own actions.
If she feels victimized again–it’s because of the same guy that did it to her years ago.
Mark, perhaps you’re unfamiliar with the justice system, but it is indiscriminate and there are charges you cannot drop. Even if the victim wants to, the state will bring charges. This is one of those cases.
I am just wondering where were all the people and the press calling for his head now when he was winning that oscar for The Pianist?
To all those who say Polanski should be left alone because he’s an “artist” or because he’s apparently done good, I offer you a simple analogy:
Hitler brought Germany out of Depression and probably saved thousands of people from starvation. By your reasoning, shouldn’t this exempt him from his later crimes against humanity?
Let Polanski hang.
give him the chair!!!!!!!!!
