He had sex with a 13 year old. I am sorry I don't feel sorry if he goes to jail.

DMC86X · 09-29-2009, 01:46 AM

Personally I hope he burns in hell. Rape is rape... Statutory or not its disgusting...

Mr.White · 09-29-2009, 01:48 AM

Was'nt this something he did 1977?

SonOfArathorn · 09-29-2009, 01:50 AM

I wonder how many of the "I hope he goes to hell" people are Christians who should be practicing forgiveness.

After all, hell is a Christian thing.

Personally this matters little to me, his movies aren't really that good anyway.

He plead guilty but fled the country before he was officially convicted....sorry, but imo there's no time limit on punishment for a crime, especially raping a young girl...

+1 He deserves his punishment.

The idea of a hell has been around a lot longer than Christianity.

So hypocritical most of them are

Mr.White · 09-29-2009, 01:55 AM

What he did was unforgivable

, but people will keep buying his films on Blu-ray and DVD.

Anyway, back on topic, Polanski is a very talented filmmaker, but there's simply no excuse for what he did. He should have faced the music way back when. He would have done his time and been out many years ago had he not fled. Now, there's a very good chance that he could spend the rest of his days behind bars.

The last Polanski thread got locked, so lets open another....

I didn't realize there was another, but I don't spend that much time on here anymore either.

And instead of serving his time like a man, he ran. His victim may ask for mercy, but how did the incident harm her over the years, especially knowing he was still out there. I liken the situation to Nazis in South America. He deserves to be arrested, regardless of time passed.

How is it hypocritical, are you saying we as rapists shouldn't throw stones,LOL.
Maybe you are speaking of forgiveness and yes I agree with that right after he serves his time for raping a minor child he might be forgiven by some folks, but seeing how he hid from this crime for so many years surely shows his own feelings of guilt, so let him ease his soul of such a great burden by resting peaceful like in jail.

I agree. I am sorry, but he hid from the law for years. The part of the article that makes me laugh is The French believe he should be above a normal person because he is an artist. He is talented filmmaker but what he did was wrong. Victor Salva did the time and now he is rebuilding his life. Polanski should have faced the music years ago.

Roman Polanski is arrested

To quote Michael Ironside from Total Recall - "About F***ING TIME!"

I think he was referring to the burn in hell comment...Which technically he is
right about

It's is not wrong to hope someone is punished for there crimes, especially crimes against children...

It however is wrong as a christian to wish someone to spend eternity in Hell..
We as Christians are supposed to pray for people's salvation and leave the
eternal judgement to the man upstairs...A lot of Christians forget that..

And this has what, exactly, to do with this thread? It's wonderful how you can make such a broad and all-encompassing statement like this with absolutely NO evidence to defend your accusations. Isn't it nice how the internet allows one to hide behind their computer screens and hurl insults at the majority of Americans? Gotta love it!
