Oh, the things you can get away with on Thanksgiving, while everyone in our country is way too busy overeating to bother getting all up in arms about the justice system.
After spending two months in a Swiss jail, director Roman Polanski has been granted bail and will be moved to house arrest while Swiss authorities debate whether to extradite him to the U.S. But don’t you worry about Roman — his “house arrest” is a $1.6 million chalet in Gstaad. He’ll survive. Polanski will be moved once he posts $4.5 million bail, surrenders his identity documents and is fitted for an electronic bracelet that allows authorities to monitor his whereabouts.
Interpol — which actually exists as a real agency even outside of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego — had this to say: “Given Mr. Polanski’s history of international travel while defying a judicial order, a $4.5 million bail and an electronic bracelet do not mean that law enforcement lets its global guard down. Mr. Polanski has given us more than 30 years of proof that he does not feel bound to respect any court decision with which he does not agree,” he said. “The world law enforcement community should do all in its power to make sure that the Swiss judicial process is allowed to run its course, and if Mr Polanski defies the conditions of his release, no country should welcome, offer safe haven to, or defend his conduct.”
They should put the “electronic bracelet” on his cock. It is his penis’s “whereabouts” that concern me.
Zing! Spot on, A-2.
And it’s good to hear Interpol telling it like it is.
“Interpol — which actually exists as a real agency even outside of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego —”
Bwahaha!
Well, that’s fair, considering it wasn’t really “RAPE-rape”, right, Whoopi?
The mother of the girl is the one who should have been charged. Allowing her underage daughter to be left alone for a ‘photo shoot’ with an older man was just asking for the kid to be abused. Some people will do anything for fame, even whore out their children.
I think her mother should be charged in addition to Polanski. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
I think the justice system failed both the victim and Polanski in this case. yes, he should not have fled to Europe but I do see why he chose that route. After following his lawyer’s advice he was led down a very bad path with a corrupt, celebrity-drunk judge. Too me the time to try him has come and gone. Even the victim wants the charges dropped.
Totally agree. We can scream about child molesters and pedophiles all we want but the truth is, this is a complex case whose time has come and gone. I wonder if anyone is familiar with Polanski’s work on this site?
I don’t give a fuck about Polanski’s work, why the hell is that even relevant, you pretentious prick? HE DRUGGED AND RAPED AND SODOMIZED A CHILD. END OF STORY. I don’t care how long ago it was, I don’t care if the judge was corrupt, Polanski should have been immediately put in prison for life. The only reason the victim wants it dropped is because the press hound her every time there’s a story on Polanski and she just wants to be left alone. Oh, also, your hero Polanski agreed to pay his victim a large sum of money after she sued him for abusing her, but he never followed through. How would you feel if someone raped you or your child, and everyone thought he should get away with it with no punishment whatsoever, just because it had been a long time, and he made some sort of art that people really liked? FUCKING RIDICULOUS how anyone can defend this pedophile.
Thank you!!!
ARE YOU RETARDED? nobody can say it was rape, because the girl has had sexual intercourse BEFORE, used drugs BEFORE, and polanski stated she was in to it, there was a sexual tension and he was charger with UNLAWFUL SEX WITH A MINOR wich IS NOT RAPE. secondly IT WAs THE FUCKING 70s., the whole policeforce was having sex with minors. EXPERTS ALL STATED HE WAS NOT A SEXUAL PREDATORE. now you can also say the fact he has created numerous cllasics doesnt matter, but as far as im concerned A GENIOUS MOVIE DIRECTER SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN THE SAME JAIL AS THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS WIFES BRUTAL MURDER. do you think he should be put in the same jail as someone who stabbed a beutiful talented PREGNATN woman 20times? OVER A CRIME THAT CANNOT BE PROVED? because as i stated before, you cannot prove he raped her as its basicly a hesays shesays situacion?
The only smart thing Polanski has done is to have been out of town when Manson decided to sent his movie critics after him.
