JUST EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM HOLLYWOOD

Adult male drugs 13-year-old girl. Then he takes some nude pictures. Then he sodomizes her. Then he runs to avoid jail. He manages to escape justice for 30 years and is finally caught. Extradition proceedings are initiated. Hollywood comes to his rescue and wants all forgiven. Lesson? Rape a 13-year-old, and if you can just hide long enough all will be forgiven ... at least by the Hollywood culture; if, that is, you have some talent important to Hollywood. If you're a gardener things might be different.

So ... what if you had a 13-year-old daughter. Here's how you might try to explain the Polanski situation to her.

What others are saying

  • With regards to Snarky
    Jeff, don't paint Snarky, or anyone else, in strict black and white. He can avidly agree with their political positions, yet vehmently oppose their morals. Nothing wrong with that.

    Consider me, for instance. I'm staunchly conservative, yet I oppose the death penalty. We're not formed using cookie cutters.

    It's good to see there is common ground in some areas. Be thankful for that.
  • Hollywood support for Father Polanski
    What would be Hollywood's response if instead Polanski were a Catholic Priest who molested childern but otherwise had an outstanding record professional work? Oops, been there, and (rightly) condemed that.
  • @ Mike... Consider the wise use of public money
    Mike:
    You're right about the wise use of public money. We could fire up "old sparky" and put a few volts through the perp. Case closed and you have an effective deterrent
  • @Club
    LMAOROTF......hilarious!
  • Polanski
    I watched Good morning America this morn, they interviewed several celebrities, the Female trainer from Biggest Loser, said she would shoot the guy herself, The Girl who played Phoebe on Friends said it was reprehensible and he should pay. I was actually stunned that it went that way in the interviews. But then they went on to more Important stuff, like Obama and the Olympics and the like.
  • If it were my child the verb in question wouldn't be "extradite,' it would be "exhume."

    -Jim Smith

    Nicely put, and I couldn't agree more.

    I'm one of the posters that's often tarred with the "liberal" brush, but I can't for the life of me see anyone justifying this.

    Bill Maher, big liberal, posted this: "Why is so much of hollywood defending Polanski? If u can give a 13 year old a lude and do her in the naughty place, where is the line?"
  • Tinselton issues a "get out of jail card" for rape
    It’s pretty much part and parcel of Tinseltown elite liberal philosophy that if you if you’re one of “The Gifted Creative Geniuses” the only crime you can be denounced or ostracized for is being a conservative.

    That goes hand in hand with the "At least Hitler made the trains run on time" philosophy.

    While Polanski made some films that I think border on genius, nothing excuses the fact that he's a violent child rapist.
  • Another Observation
    As I stated before this little twerp is a sexual predator pedophile who should be locked up in a cell with a 6'8" convict.

    That said, call me sick, but I can't help but make this observation: Consider that the girl was only 13 and pretty small. With rape victims, even adults, there are wounds, especially if raped from behind. The fact that a little 13 year old girl had no wounds, especially in the analarea, after forced rape, can only lead me to one conclusion: This Roman Polanski must be hung like a mosquito. Serious.
  • @Mike
    Mike, I couldn't agree more - but the solution isn't to let him off the hook. Instead, the solution is to allow any volunteer with a gun and a bullet to finally solve the problem. Cost to taxpayers = $0.00 in that case.
  • remany:liberalism
    It's a cliche that is not born out by any data or facts that "liberalism" = soft on crime.

    But, this of course opens up a whole other debate about three strikes laws, the war on drugs, etc.

    I don't want to hijack the board with a discussion on that.

    But I disagree with the notion that because a group of directors and actors are supporting something, makes it a liberal cause or an indicator of liberal values generally.
  • @Shutting Down
    "Probably about as nervous as obama around a lie detector."

    Ha ha I like that!

    However, Obama is a narcissist and would not be nervous. He'd be absolutely convinced he could fool the lie detector, too.
  • Hey Snarky
    Now, go off and put your liberal thinking cap back on and say something stupid so I can beat up on you again!!
  • @Snarky
    Did you really post that? For probably the first and last time, I actually agree with what you posted.

    Unfortunately, your position puts you in the minority amongst your marxist/socialist comrades. Just another reason that you people must be crushed at any cost.
  • Roman Polanski
    George Orwell said this when commenting on Salvador Dali in "Dickens,Dali & Others: Studies in Popular Culture"


    "If Shakespeare returned to the earth tomorrow, and if it were found that his favourite recreation was raping little girls in railway carriages, we should not tell him to go ahead with it on the groundthat he might write another King Lear." -...- George Orwell
  • Big Deal!
    Oh get over it already!

    Polanski isn't a Nazi war criminal for god's sake and he isn't denying the Holocaust either!

    Grow up folks!
  • Consider the wise use of public money
    It happened 30 years ago. The victim says she would rather the whole matter be dropped. The perpetrator poses no threat to society any more.

    On one hand, I agree that you don't want to let someone escape justice. On the other hand, with prisons overcrowded and state budgets deep in the red, do we really want to spend taxpayer money on putting this guy away? We're talking tens of thousands of dollars for extradtiion, a trial, and the cost of incarceration.

    Conservatives cease to be fiscally conservative on issues that matter to them: defense (or, more recently, offense) and prisons.
  • @czjim
    So what? None of what the victim purportedly may or may not have done absolves the perpetrator of demonstrating his unworthiness to call himself a man.
  • Jimmy D
    Now it's clear why Jimmy is so nervous about guns.
    Probably about as nervous as obama around a lie detector.
  • @Snarky
    Snarky, nice to see that I can agree with you for once, and that you aren't as soft on criminals as most liberals.

    However--yes, it is very much a trait of liberalism that criminals should mostly be forgiven or reformed. Liberals will almost always find some way to justify criminals and criminal behaviour.....unless of course the person in question is a businessman receiving a bonus--then it's hang 'em high!!
  • liberalism = insanity
    I'm so tired of pointing out the hypocrisy of liberals by saying something like, "If Rush Limbaugh raped a 13-year-old, the liberals would want him hanged".

    WTF is wrong with these halfwits? How can they justify supporting one thing for one person (or group) but condemning it for another? It's completely illogical and irrational, just like their political ideology. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.
  • Polanski!
    This is nuts. First off it is elitism. That is what liberals are. They believe they know better than you do and know what is better for you than you do. Do you really expect liberals to be held to the same standards, mores, morals, ethics as you and I? They are above them! What should be asked is IF Hollyweird ever cared about this why did they continue to make movies with Polanski out of this country and why allow him to show them in this country and make money here? Why did Hollyweird not step up to the plate and say he does not deserve our support YEARS BACK? He has been allowed to prosper, continue his career and even get more academy awards. He has not "suffered" at all.
  • about this..........
    what about the statute of limitations?????

    sumbuddy 'splain pleeeeze....
  • Wow. I'll bet there are a whole bunch of Catholic priests who wish they'd won a couple of Oscars right now...
  • remany
    I'm sorry, but painting this as "liberalism" is just self serving.

    this isn't evidence of qualities of liberalism. it's evidence of the absence of them.
  • @ Jimmy Dolan
    Wow, even those who usually agree with you (to some extent) realize what a dirtbag you are today - thank you Snarkybird. How does it feel to be exposed once and for all as a brain dead, moral-less slimeball? As least we won't have to bother to read your "thoughts" in the future, now that we all agree what a waste of oxygen you are.
  • middle ground
    We get Ron Jeremy to pop a couple viagras and rape Polanski, and then all is forgiven.
  • Bend over
    If you think about it, it's all very consistent. Liberals have been raping this country for years. They can't be held accountable because their quest for power is righteous. And these are the people who helped elect our present leadership.
  • 13 going on 30
    Am I the only one out here that remembers the tv interview with the female victim of this case from 1978 or 1979 where she admits to supplying the illegal drugs from her parents house, lying about her age to him, and previously attending orgies at her parents and neighbors houses ?
  • Fatal Vision
    I think it was a made-for-TV movie a long time ago. I think the father was played by Karl Malden. It was a good movie.
  • snarky
    "these people" are the very same ones you defend on a daily basis....liberals.
  • @Snarky
    Good post, snarky. Kudos for using common sense and taking a position that many on the left are not.
  • Typical Leftist Response
    Jimmy Dolan's response is typical of a liberal when it comes to crime and punishment. These people are constantly on the wrong side of the issue. Not all liberals mind you, but a pretty good chunk of them. Just look at the following Hollywierd has for cop killing Mumia Abu Jamaal. And now they want Polanski to skate because it's been 30 years. Want to turn the discussion on it's ear? Ask them why they weren't as forgiving to Catholic priests who were exposed as child molesters 30 years after the fact.

    As for Whoopie saying that this wasn't "rape" rape, then I guess any college fratboy who ever roofied a girl and took advantage of her didn't commit rape either. As was said, liberalism is a mental disorder.
  • Rape
    Making excuses for Polanski is further proof that liberalism is a disease
  • Jon Miller
    You should read "Fatal Vision" about Dr. Jeffrey McDonald (a former Green Beret) who brutally murdered his family and then tried to frame it, ironically, as if hippies had done it just like the Polanski murders.

    Anyway, all throughout the book his father-in-law, who had suffered his daughter and young grandkids (beleive they were all little girls...can't remember all the details because I read it 20 years ago) being murdered and had concluded (rightly, I believe) it was done by his slob son-in-law, kept saying "If the courts don't administer justice, I will". He never got specific, but you knew what he meant. And I agreed with him. I've never forgotten his saying that and I would do the same thing if somebody did something awful to any of my loved ones (should the courts fail to properly protect and respect our society).
  • Really Sad
    ya'll should go over to the Huffington Post and read where the bloggers there are defending him. It is sick.
  • So he's a holocaust survivor...
    So what? I was unaware that surviving the holocaust gave one a pass to commit heinous crimes, just as I was unaware that being a victim of a horrible crime (Manson murder of his pregnant wife) gives one the right to commit other felonies.

    But back to the holocaust. Didn't we hunt down and prosecute those responsible for the holocaust many years later? Weren't many of those apprehended at that point in time elderly? Aren't we right now in the process of deporting (or maybe we already did) an elderly person suspected of participating (somewhat benignly, I believe) in the holocaust? And isn't there a lot of reasonable doubt as to whether that person was even involved at all in the holocaust? Using the Polanski defenders logic, shouldn't we have just "let it go" for those holocaust criminals because of the time passed?

    There is no doubt of Polanski's guilt in this case. He didn't just rape the poor little girl...he sodomized her! My gosh people, wake up! To use a famous quote "Have you no sense of decency? At long last, have you lost all sense of decency?"
  • Polanski Defenders
    Yes, Polanski has some stalwart defenders....like Woody Allen, who took up with his stepdaughter who is 35 yrs his junior, married her, twisting his family ties like a pretzel. (imagine the other relatives...your dad suddenly becomes your brother-in-law) Oh yeah, there's a strong defender in your court there...
  • sympathy for crime
    Everyone take a real close look at our weak kneed leftist posters and you can see why we have a huge problem in the criminal justice system, They forget the victim and have all sympathy for the accused.
    The pervert drugged and abused a minor skipped out of the country its time he pays, wouldnt it be neat though if he was punished the same as his offense, only bad thing he would probrably enjoy himself.
  • Name Doesn't Matter
    You're absolutely right....your name absolutely does not matter! And neither do your stupid comments! It's about punishment, stupid, not safer streets! Besides, the bastard lured the kid, with the aid of her even more stupid mother, into Nicholson's house ostensibly for a photo shoot.

    You're a moron.
  • polanski
    Im sorry but I guess the older I get the more my thinking changes. The fact that he left the country should alone get him life in prison. He should be stripped of all his finances and the money given to some kind of victim's fund. I would like to see which actors and studio people would be willing to PUBLICLY back him up.
  • Scum
    This scumbag needs to be in the cesspool we call prison with all the other sodomites. Maybe Bubba can make him feel welcome. Sorry Jimmy, but his father not him was in a concentration camp.
  • pretty sad
    ...the number of people who will apologize for you raping a child given enough time and your shiny talent with movie making.

    He deserves to pay for his crime.

    the moral and cultural relativism being used to explain away the rape of a 13 year old is just jaw dropping.

    I dont care if he's jesus. or Job. Or moses.

    when you can explain away raping a 13 year old girl, there is no hope left for you.

    who ARE these people????
  • @Jimmy DOLTan
    Typical lib. Even on issues that should be slamdunk, where you have a predator pedophile drug and rape a 13 yo girl anally, the libs can't get them selves to say it is wrong. My god, you libs are mentally diseased.
  • Roman the Rapist
    Jimmy Dolan WTH is wrong with you. We should excuse people from their crimes if they have been through difficult circumstances?? The problem with people like you is they see everything in terms of Rep & Dem, not right & wrong.
  • Waste of oxygen
    The Waste, a/k/a Mr. Leitman, locally in Stone Mountain who got caught (in flagrante delicto) yesterday raping a 13 year old girl needs to work on a Academy Award winning script while he's in prison so he too can become a hero to the left.

    As for Mr. Dolan and anybody else who thinks Polanski should skate, what if that had been your daughter? If he's got "trauma issues" that make him do bad things then he still needs to be institutionalized for the protection of others.


    If it were my child the verb in question wouldn't be "extradite,' it would be "exhume."
  • Jimmy Dolan
    what if it were your daughter?
  • Well, considering the victim has since sued him and settled out of court for an undisclosed amount AND has dropped all charages, let him spend his time in jail and we'll let the jail system take it from there.
  • Why do liberals love raping children so much?
    Hey Jimmy, how many children have you not really "rape" raped as Whoopie Goldberg puts it? I am stunned by your complicit acceptance of child rape just because Polanski, or Bill Clinton (although Lewinsky was technically an adult, she was his daughters age) or whoever gets caught having his way with a minor, so long as theyre part of your camp you will not only back them up to the bitter end but instead try to spin it as George Bush's fault? Good God, whats wrong with you people?

    yes, liberalism is a mental disorder
  • Polanski
    The guy raped a 13 year old girl. He ought to be shot. Any bastard that rapes a child should be shot, right then and there. I can't believe there's even a debate about this. What the heck is wrong with our world when people can't see the most obvious kind of evil as being flat-out wrong???

    I am about to be a father to a little girl, and I swear before God and Heaven, anybody does that to my daughter, I'll hunt them down and kill them myself - if our criminal justice system can't do the right thing, then our citizenry sure can. (And don't give me any crap about "vigilante justice is wrong" - it worked just fine in the Old West, and actions have consequences. Touch my kid, you die, plain and simple.)

    The funny thing is, I'm writing what hundreds of parents (thousands?) want to write but are afraid to.
  • If anyone really cares, don't go to the movies
    Anyone that really cares that the Hollywood bunch is standing behind a rapist of a 13 year old girl should boycott the movies that are associated with those supporting Polanski. That's what I am going to do.
  • @Jimmy Dolan
    Why don't you tell that to the girl who was raped or her familiy. Or better yet, if your daughter was raped in that matter when she was thirteen years of age, would you say to her, "Who knows what those nazis did to his brain. He is definitely got some trauma issues. Who knows how many criminals got away these 30 years while republicans were hunting down a Holocaust Survivor"?

    The answer is probably not.... Unless you're a hard core leftist who wants to "understand why the criminal thug commited his or her heinous crime."
  • Throw him in jail.
    Jimmy Dolan can be his "roomie".
  • Ridiculous
    Yes, the streets of America will be safer with 76-year old Roman Polanski behind bars. Parents will be able to allow their daughters to go outside.
  • Polanski
    I agree with Stan. While it's normally bad to rape a 13 year old, you hate to take into account Polanski's cultural heritage. The entertainment industry is always looser with sex than you rightwing Quakers, so cut him some slack. Also, running from the law for so many years is punishment in itself; especially when you are part of the Hollywood entertainment industry and can't go to Hollywood without some kook throwing you in jail for sex! We need to keep in mind that we need to give artists a little leeway because their thinking is more advanced than typical people and they contribute so much to society.
  • Been thru a ton?
    Dolan,
    You're a sick mother-father!
  • Hollywood (New York-West): Mecca for Free Radicals
    Birds of a feather, flock together.
  • Double Standard
    To paraphrase Chris Rock, If he were a auto mechanic, he would be known as Roman the child raping auto mechanic.
  • He has been through a ton
    Forget about his pregnant wife being murdered by the Manson family, he is a Holocaust Survivor. Who knows what those nazis did to his brain. He is definitely got some trauma issues. Who knows how many criminals got away these 30 years while republicans were hunting down a Holocaust Survivor
