Yes, I would hang the child molesting bastards
Yes, Well aware that Polanski has had a bad deal as a young person
does that give him the right to then use the young girls that he has the way he has NO
He's an admitted Rock-Spider
No room for them in society the world is already over populated
You wake up and grow a brain

You’re wasting your money on that shrink dwg.
What I would suggest is that you’re indeed right, all guilty child molesters should be at least chemically castrated and hanging is too good for them. Having g said that I don’t believe that Polanski deserves this fate it’s as simple a stat and the reason is that Australasian judicial system is so badly flawed that these so called political based public cements we call servants will us this law to remove all political opponents to their way of thinking i.e. Nazis .
Wake up and read between the lies oops lines..

It was enough.

The scene from the film 'Brave Heart' came before Forrest's eyes. The old, wounded, dying Scot, lying back and saying he could now die happy, after a successful stoush with the Sassenach that had until recently lorded it over the Scots, taking their women as soon as they were of marriageable age under the doctrine of Prima Nocta, among other things.

Forrest had to accept Fractelle's rebuke in her post of Tuesday, 6 October 2009 at 2:51:34 PM. It was one of the three free kicks she had earned on that other thread. He could understand Fractelle's sensitivity in this matter of the Polanski extradition. She had good cause for her vehement detestation of sexual exploitation of women. If only she could be brought to understand that Forrest wasn't trying to excuse what Polanski was accused of doing, simply to ensure that he received the benefit of due process of law.

It WAS enough. Forrest knew he was winning. The change from the capitalised shouted NO to the lower case 'no' in 'a thousand times no' said it all. That little seed of doubt, that slight betrayal of the realization that what she felt was more understandable anger than righteous indignation in this case. There was seldom ambiguity in Fractelle's writing. There was, too, the use of the words 'willing or not' which at last opened the door to the prospect that maybe there had been willingness involved. All that now remained was to get acceptance of the possibility that Polanski may have been deceived as to Samantha Gailey's age, and it would be game, set, and match for the cause of due process of law. There would be room for reasonable doubt.

Forrest just knew Fractelle wouldn't knowingly run with the rest of the huge lynch mob that were busily basking in the warmth of their own self-righteousness, meanwhile mindlessly baying Polanski's guilt like a pack of hounds on a runaway slave hunt. They were just displaying simple blood lust. Go Kunta Kinte!

Yes, enough.

What will be achieved in bringing Roman Polanski
to trial - apart from giving publicity, power
and control to the American judicial system?

Even if it were possible to conduct a fair hearing
31 years after the alleged rape was committed, what
will be achieved in forcing the victim to re-live
the experience so publicly in court, when she has
repeatedly said that she wants these charges dropped.

Can justice be achieved through a process which violates
the most fundamental due process rights of both the accused
and the victim?

Why is Polanski being targeted now - he's travelled through
Switzerland so many times in the past without being
arrested. Why now?

Can there be justice under retroactive laws when the defendent
has been granted almost no opportunity to protect his legal
rights? Is justice itself not being victimized here?

Thomasfromspatonme <'...that’s why I am more informed than your obviously depression related spiel thank god your eligible for jury duty in the states otherwise who would hang all these called child molesters."

You are a disgrace Tommy! Using another person's mental illness as a weapon against their beliefs! Shame on you.

Foxy, we will have to agree to disagree on this Polanski issue.
As far as I am concerned, no amount of elapsed time or any hidden agenda of law agencies can negate the crime this guy did.
He drugged and had sex with a 13 year old girl! That fact is not in dispute at all.

The fact he never returned to the US, where I assume his poor dead wife and baby are buried, tells me he had something to hide and wasn't prepared to face the courts after his admission of guilt.

He deserves everything he gets.
