Come on people…

Why is it, that every time there is a news story about Roman Polanski being arrested in Switzerland, and held awaiting his extradition to the United States, someone has to claim that it is “controversial”?
How fucked up have we become that we consider this a controversy? What exactly about this is a controversy?  What part of some dude who raped a 13 year old girl back in the 70’s, had a mountain of evidence against him, who pled guilty, signed a paper saying he would not leave the state, then snuck off to France to live out his life while he was awaiting trial, is controversial?
Seriously people, if this is controversial to you, do the world a favor. Put a plastic bag over your head, and think about it for several hours.
This guy, admitted to raping a 13 year old girl. Not just rape, but he kind of drugged her, and did some really bad things to her as well. Even before I became a father, it was pretty easy to see right from wrong on this one.
I realize he’s very talented, creative, and artistic. I know that Chaz Manson’s posse murdered his wife, who was pregnant with his child. Though I can’t pretend to understand how horrible it would be to go through life after something like that happened, we’re talking about raping a 13 year old girl.
I don’t care how cherished you are by the mindless jackasses in hollywood, you raped a 13 year old girl.
If this was some random dude, who didn’t direct Rosemarie’s Baby, he never would have gotten to France, let alone Switzerland where he was caught. Instead of this being a “controversy” or an acclaimed director who won an oscar nearly 30 years after all this went down, and then got a rousing ovation during the ceremonies, he’d be known as that guy who got stabbed to death in cell block D, or the weird old dude with the ankle bracelet that stairs out his window a lot, and isn’t allowed to buy girl scout cookies.
This guy is as close as you can get to the top of the piece of shit foodchain, without being named Usama, or Hitler.
He raped a 13 year old girl! He admitted it! There is no shadow of a doubt on this one. It wasn’t some drunk WOMAN who went back to his hotel room late at night (not that that’s cool either, just a shout out to mike Tyson). It’s a child.
There was a time when I believed Wal-Mart was what was wrong with our society, or maybe even Twitter, but I gotta say, the fact that there are people who worship this dude, and even more who think him being arrested again for this is “controversial” is about as sad as it gets for us.
If there is any justice in this world, the Cops who “roughed up” Rodney King
get called back to duty, and sent to the airport to pick him up when he comes home, and they have been drinking energy drinks all day long.
