Arnold Schwarzenegger on Roman Polanski

[dr.chimps]

There is no statue of limitations, but the victim is over it and has moved on. What gives YOU the right to think that he should go to jail when the victim herself is over it? Epic presumption.

LOL. Tell that to those who spent in concentration camps during WWII. Yo, Elie Wiesel? Pack up your tent, bro. liberalismo says your war is over. Time to get over it. 

[BIG AL MCKECHNIE]

This Polanski girl is the same guy who was shagging Natasha Kinski when she was 14-15.

Pity Charlie Manson's tribe didn't hack Roman's weiner off that night in 1969 instead of mutilating his wife Sharon Tate.

Yeah I would consider the Holocaust a bigger crime but I think most of the people involved are now dead.

I see your arguement liberalismo, and I agree, we shouldn't put so many people in jail (particularly non-dealing drug offenders).  Perhaps there is a better punishment but we must...must protect the youth in this country from adult preditors like Polanski.  The purpose of the punishment is to define and deter this  strict societal wrong.  From the original story transcripts, Polanski used drugs/alcohol to force this girl to have sex.  A typical 13yo basically just started menstrating and doesn't have the judgement of an adult.

For the poster above that was basically saying this girl was a party whore...dude, she was f'n 13yrs old.  Barely out of childhood.  If she was 18 or 19, I'd say you may be right...but at 13, it's the adult's responsibility not to abuse a child.

I know. I can't the remember how many times I've told survivors to get themselves a hip barbed wire tattoo to cover up their serial number.

On Sky news now.

Film director Roman Polanski agreed to pay a 13-year-old girl he sexually assaulted $500,000, it has emerged.

Roman Polanski is being held in Switzerland

Polanski, who was detained in Switzerland this week, made the offer to Samantha Geimer in 1993, 15 years after he had sex with her.

Court records do not say whether the Oscar-winning director actually paid the full amount.

The terms of the settlement were confidential, but the amount was disclosed in court documents because of a two-year struggle to get Polanski to pay.

The court records were released in Los Angeles but the final one from August 1996 showed Polanski still owed £378,000.

Polanski was arrested last Saturday on a US warrant by authorities in Zurich, where he was set to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival.

The director had fled from the US in 1978 before being sentenced for having sex with the teenager.

He was accused of plying his young victim with alcohol and drugs during a modelling shoot.

The director initially faced charges including rape and molesting a child but pleaded guilty only to unlawful sexual intercourse.

Ms Geimer sued Polanski in December 1988 when she was 25 years old.

A host of actors and Hollywood stars have come forward in support of Polanski, urging US authorities to drop the warrant.

Time does not negate a crime. Lots of tough guys in this thread

I would just wonder how many would feel that way if it was their 13 year old daughter , I would be up for murder charges .

[Ursus]

Those type of guys that defend him are they type of guys who...

a) are likely to do that shit/fantacise about that shit
b) have been walked over all their lives

I for the life of me can't comprehend how anyone can try and defend his actions  ' she forgave him ' and?

[liberalismo]

You're just being silly , he broke the law that's reason enough

No it isn't. No rational person believes that simply breaking the law warrants persecution. If this were true, you'd support putting people in jail for selling pot. And if you did support that, you'd be a fool. There are always extenuating circumstances and other things to consider.

no presumption needed , her forgiveness has nothing to do with the law , he's a fugitive from justice , he broke the law and he should pay his debt to society , because he's wealthy and makes great movies somehow means he's above the law? he should go to jail because she's a RAPIST that's why and he hasn't paid his debt to society

You're not providing a real reason here. You're speaking in abstract untrue terms. He broke the law and thus, on that alone, should go to jail? No.

abstract reason of justice? you're either just being contrary or stupid , he drugged & raped a girl and then fled to avoid doing jail time , he paid her off too . If this were your daughter would you feel the same? there is no debt to society? nonsense he broke the law and should pay the price , you don't wanna go to jail DON'T rape 13 year old girls , simple math . He ran and never paid his debt to society even if he paid off his victim

She forgives him...I see nothing more to consider.

You say there IS a debt to society? What debt? Breaking the law, regardless of what it is or if it has been moved over, means a "debt"? How? This is irrational. What debt?

You're an idiot.

Plenty of Jews have forgiven their Nazi persecutors.

This guy is no threat to society. He actually improves society with his work. Putting him away won't fix anything. It won't pay any non-existing debt. It won't do anything good, really.


No one here is arguing that what he did was not terrible. I agree. it was terrible. That's not the point though.

Time period has nothing to do with it. That isn't the issue.

No one is defending his actions. At least, I'm definitely not. But you have no right to say he should go to jail. He did nothing to you, nor did he do anything to this abstract idea of "society". He hurt that girl and SHE forgave him and moved on and opposes his persecution. So that's it. It should be done with.

[NarcissisticDeity]

He admitted raping her , case closed. and there is a massive difference between selling pot and drugging & raping a 13 year old girl

You're not providing a real reason here. You're speaking in abstract untrue terms. He broke the law and thus, on that alone, should go to jail? No.

no real reason? yes you overlooked it ( something you're willing to do ) he admitted quilt and ran , he should be put in jail for both

She forgives him...I see nothing more to consider.

So if she didn't this would somehow change things? irrelevant if she forgives him , you can't or wont look past your own retarded logic

 

You say there IS a debt to society? What debt? Breaking the law, regardless of what it is or if it has been moved over, means a "debt"? How? This is irrational. What debt?

The debt for committing a wrong doing ( felony rape of a minor and a host of other felonies ) breaking multiple laws

You're an idiot.

coming from you that's ironic , either you're being contrary or you're being honest either way it makes you an asshole and please answer the question how would you feel if it were your 13 year old daughter?

[clued-up]

She forgives him...I see nothing more to consider.

A guy rapes a child.. Just because the child forgives him doesn’t change the fact that he’s a child rapist.. You sick fuck.

I have no right? fair enough , the law has the right to tell him  he admitted to drugging & raping a 13 year old girl , he fled like the coward he is because he wanted to control how much time he was going to get .

The girl was also paid off by Polanski another tidbit you're willing to overlook , she may have forgave him that's irrelevant , I hope he spends the rest of his life in jail
