Rape is not an artistic statement

Roman Polanski is a convicted rapist who plead guilty and then fled the country where he's been a fugitive ever since. Everyone who argues any different is an idiot and should be ashamed.

I hate all the laws this country has passed that require GPS anklets and announcements and even can allow states to keep child rapists in jail for ever. However, I equally hate the idea that anyone can get separate treatment because they are an "artist" or because they are rich. Both of what Polanski has been getting away with for decades and what anyone who is decrying his arrest is basically saying should be the way things are done.

An unequal system

All those celebrities pinning for Polanski should instead find the money to help these fellows out. There are huge problems with sex offender laws in this country, but they mostly have to do with the long-lingering never ending punishments of those who have served their time. Some of them after having committed crimes as minors.

Anyone complaining about justice being misserved in arresting a 70 year old fugitive from justice should think of what justice means, and if they still think maybe this is too much they should think of those who served their time and get a whole lot worse.

And don't even get me started on the massive victim blaming that's going on. Anyone who mouths that sort of obscenities does not deserve my time.
