Hollywood Backing Roman Polanski...

[Homeslice]

Nobody is rewarded for fleeing justice for a long time. They are only rewarded for being close to death anyway, like if they have terminal cancer...........Or, like in this case, if the individual possesses "extraordinary artistic abilities" according to his buddies in Hollywood -- they will lobby the media and the courts until they cave in and let him go.

The question that brings to mind is whether being a felon, who can't go to many places that he wants/needs to because of the industry that he's involved in, is to be considered a 'reward'?

Being outside of a prison is better than being inside.

Or since he can't go to the latest Premiere, he has suffered enough?

Apparently abstaining from a circle jerk and questioning the situation now merits censure.

What is your debate then?

He was found guilty and ran away. He was caught and is being punished. What exactly do you object to?

I made no statement, but rather asked a question: Does the 'need' to see justice done outweigh the harm that will once again be done to the victim? No one seems to even want to consider that possibility.

I couldn't give a flying fuck what happens to Polanski. If you saw any of his films and the female leads, you'd have figured him for a diddler immediately. Double-tap to the spinal cord and push him in the River Seine and the world wouldn't miss a beat, but be better off for his absence.
