Roman Polanski—it’s enough!




I’ve been hearing about the Polanski case for so long, what is the problem, just drop it. I mean this is not the only rape case in the United States, for gads sake, it’s getting sickening. He’s not the only rapist in the country, and if they wanted him, they had him, why did they give him bail, isn’t it just smart thinking on his behalf, get out of Dodge before you’re hung. Let me give you an example: when my daughter was ten-years old she got raped by three boys, one thirteen, one twelve, and one eleven: all at one time. I had the police get involved, and the court got involved, but the court could, or would not sentence any of the kids because they were under age, under fourteen-years old. To me, fourteen or forty, doesn’t make a difference, or ten to fourteen, doesn’t make a difference, we all know what we’re doing after seven years old—after formal reasoning, ask any psychologist. I tried to follow up on this case, in St. Paul, Minnesota, were it is evidently legal to rape if you are under fourteen years old. The follow up was like this: the juvenile court, the judge or overseer, said: the parents will go to counseling, along with the thirteen year old boy who was nearer to fourteen than thirteen, for one year, that is it, and I followed up on that, and the boy and family showed up one time for the counseling session, and never again, and the case was dropped and the police officer at the downtown police station in St. Paul said: “I can’t enforce that,” and the other two kids never seen the court house or anything other than their parents reprimand if indeed they even got that. And now we got a case where the government is spending millions of dollars and man-hours chasing an old man around the world for having sex with a thirteen year old girl that perhaps had more to do with it than she’s saying. What kind of a system is this—and we call it justice? If this isn’t blind justice, I don’t know what is. The old man has spent enough years dodging law, let him be, justice has been served.
