Support for Polanski Strengthens ... as Does the Backlash

Sex laws have been built on misconceptions and myth.
The Supreme Court just ruled on sex offender laws where some factions of our government think by some inert reasoning that sex offender should be quarantined like some virus steaming from Draconian/Islamic radical view that sex offenders should be executed. I have seen for myself, video taken in another country where a sex offender was placed on a pole much like the Catholics use to use a pyramid shaped object and have them sit on it and spin, the pole travels through the body looking for the throat but if not found its ok because the sharpened end of the pole will come out somewhere to the delight of these very strange people who think such sad thoughts. The heritage of the act is in its self a brutal throwback to violent uneducated people who are so obsessed with any sex they can find & the only way to deal with this kind of "hierarchy" of historic hysteria. A word taken from hysterectomy, hysteria is tied to castration used to make animals less threatening which clearly explains the atmosphere we have made for our selves.
Anyway we are supposed to be the most advanced nation and we still have a death penalty when the rest of the world except for some nations we are still warring with, selling weapons too, {think!} while other nations went home our weapons dealers and torture lovers delighting in support for the death of people they don’t know or want to simply because they don’t know how to get money with out taking it from someone by force. Is that supposed to include mutilations? In my humble opinion that alone are terrorist activities as much as severed hands, ears, heads, or making a case with nothing more than an obsession justified by lies.
The truth about the sex offender registry will come out soon enough. When it does, People will see how the use of the registry was created, and by exactly who and why and the devastation it has created and the worthlessness of the use of it. It’s origin in the Jim Crow hanging laws that brought disgrace to our nation allowing thieves and murderous societal bigots who have trashed any shot at making good of a program in its design to make money destroying our nation and its people. We can not play god and we can not survive using this behavior model because we are compounding the problem since the numbers increasing to include the children they purport to protect.
It's a ruse designed by people who are getting rich off the doctoring, castration/hysterectomy/health care/physic care of people through sex laws that have gone wild. What about the people who are being used by the Medicare programs that requires these mutilations for both men and woman after they take their means of support? Digging around in someone’s genitalia because you want what a weaker nation? Can't you see? You have created the model and it is worthless! Why don't we just indiscriminately kill people we don't know? That is statically the next sex offender, because over 90% of all new offences are committed by someone “not” on the sex offender registry and the numbers are increasing not decreasing so as a behavior model this is really worthless.
So what is the use of such laws as the sex offender registry other than to terrorize people? With the murder of so many sex offenders and the continued disregard for life by the use of the registry it will be no time at all before the federal government will be held liable for their deaths through federal court.
In a nation where a statement may have a double or triple meaning and our entire linage can be traced through mud, guts, and beer it’s nice once in a while to get the picture of what is meant instead of what some thinks someone may have implied being translated by greed. So it is from the trenches to the hill. Remember the game where someone says something in someone’s ear then passes it the same way to the next; the person advocating such destructive laws are the ones who need to be section 8 by simple brake down of the issue not the sex offenders. Best regards

It's good to see Weinstein take time out of his busy casting couch shenanigans (allegedly) to defend artists everywhere. I mean, doesn't he "rape" movies by cutting them to pieces? Where the hell is his love of artists and their vision coming from? Is he defending Polanski because he's a Jew? Jews gotta stick together no matter what? Sorry, but the Holocaust doesn't excuse you from crimes against humanity yourself. Maybe he should forgive the old Nazis guards because, afterall, it was a long time ago and they've probably suffered enough. ;_;

P.S. Everybody knows Martin Scorsese got that pity Oscar even though his Asian counterpart did a better job on 1/10 the budget. Though, it was pretty laughable how he acted like he thought up the idea for the movie. First movie with a plot, indeed. Well, that's because somebody else already did all the hard work thinking it up and making it a success.

P.P.S. Oh, and what the people on the list fail to realize that is, if Polanski did his time originally, he would've been out by now and making shitty movies with little to no outcry from the public.

@ Keep Dreaming Nancy -

I'm sure the French and the Poles feels differently because he is held up as a cultural institution - but I guarantee you that any American director went over there next week and drugged and raped a 13 year old French girl, they not only would prosecute the bastard - they would also use it as a reason to bash the piggish, culturally uncouth Americans.

I'm really shocked by Harvey Weinstein and a bit dismayed that this Shrek-y, wonk-eyed oaf would rally for Polanski's release. I've worked in Hollywood for years and worked with Mr. Weinstein and what I don't understand is the myopia invovled here in the sexual violation of a child.

Why adults, regardless of their chosen profession, would give this man a pass is beyond me. It's wrong. If it were your child, this wouldn't even be a debate. Considering the late-year, middle-age parents all over Hollywood, including the Larchmont Moms and Dads, how would they feel if, God forbid, a grown man (no matter how dimunitive and short)forced himself on their child. I don't think this is a witch hunt. It's about time and it's mind-boggling that people think 42 days of psych eval in Chino is the end of Polanski debt to the State and his victim.

He raped a child. This can never be said frequently enough. Roman Polanski, as a 43 year old man, raped a 13 year old child.

The case is State of California against Roman Polanski, because Polanski violated the state law and a)raped someone, and b)the woman was a child. That's forcible AND statutory rape. The case is not being brought on behalf of the victim, but on behalf of the people of the State of CA, who live by laws saying "if you rape a child, you will be prosecuted". So while the victim may want this all to go away, it's actually not up to her.

On top of that, the disingenuous claim that the victim should be allowed to dismiss the case because she's been put through enough by the media -- does anyone think we'd actually be talking about ANY of this if not for the fact that Roman Polanski JUMPED BAIL and conducted a high-profile life as a fugitive child rapist? The spotlight's been maintained BECAUSE of Polanski's refusal to obey the justice system. He does not get extra points for being elusive, and it's arguable that his "exile" has only done more to expose the victim to attention.

Also, plea agreements are made between the DA and the defense, it's got nothing to do with the judge. The judge can set it aside; what happened is that Polaski realized a judge might view 45 days time served and probation a shoddy plea deal for the rape of a drugged child, and the judge might then throw the book at him. So he skipped town.

She said no, again and again, and he raped her. He had forcible anal sex with a CHILD. So no, I'm not feeling that Roman Polanski deserves any special consideration because he's had such a tough life, or because he made nice movies. He raped a child, pleaded guilty to a lessed charge, and then fled justice. And now he's going to have to face it. The end.

What if he raped your child, then what?
Why do these studio bigwigs support pedophilia?
Would they stand by him if the girl was 3 y/o?
Why are ppl in the movie industry so disconnected from the real World?
Why do the movies made by Hollywood types stink?

Supposedly, polls are out that as much as 70% of the people support the arrest. It's the loud, rich, artistic and politically motivated that oppose the arrest.
It's not good to tar an entire country by the media reports.
Time will tell. I haven't yet read of anyone in Hollywood that supports the arrest.

Nancy,

The French definitely support him. This man isn't American. He's a French-born citizen. If you honestly think the French would support handing over one of their own citizens to an American prosecutor for a thirty-year old crime, you're crazy.

The reason the Polish Prime Minister, and ONLY ONE MEMBER of the French parliament mentioned it at all was because the support for Polanski in those countries have been overwhelming.

To believe otherwise is extremely naive.

Support is growing? I hardly think so. Support may seem to be growing only because these few supporters are using their fame. The masses, french or americans do think that these supporters do not represent them.
