Roman Polanski is Arrested!!!

[muman613]

That is Marilyn Manson not Charles Manson

It is my subtle attempt at humor. If you asked most people if 'Manson' should be free... Most would not know who Charles Manson is... They would assume you are talking about Marilyn Manson. Thus they would say "Of course he should be free"...

I am stretching a little to say that Manson will be freed. I am not making any kind of prediction.

I don't think he will be set free

What a shock to see Woody Allen's name on the list.  Who woulda thought??

[cjd]

That is some list of evil animals... Still and all the issue is very old and was mishandled when it was first being prosecuted. Remembering back to the 70's when it happened it seemed like a big deal even to a young person like myself. Looking at the crime now some 35 years later in to days society it hardly raises an eyebrow. They should have continued to restrict his entry here in America and left it at that. After all is said and done he is going to get off the hook and will then be able to return to America. I think he was told to bring the issue to a head by being detained as he was and in the end the charges have become so washed out they will have to be dismissed.

Excuse me? a 13 year old girl.... I don't think so...

Even in todays society a grown man in his position using a 13 yo girl... It should be prosecuted.

Samantha Geimer was quoted on certain news outlets
She stated that she does not want Roman to go to jail.

[patches]

The only reason he'd get off is because he's rich and famous. Bulldrek if you ask me. He did the crime, he should do the time.

Now the way I see it if he was just anybody the government would have lost interest in this years ago. Even the victim has no interest in having all this brought up again.The fact that he is high profile is why they are still pushing it. I agree with you that in the end his money will get him off with all charges dropped. I have no use for pedophiles. I would like to see them surgically corrected however this case was a joke back in the 70's and it has not improved with the passage of time.

What a piece of garbage.  And his movies suck!

Outside of Woody Allen and Scorcese, I don't recognize any of those names.  Either these are the most pompous nobodys or I am detached from modern culture.  Probably the latter.

[Secularbeliever]

I'd like to see where Chaim stands on him.<

If Chaim finds him anything other than hideous and nauseating I would be shocked out of all consciousness.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

That is Marilyn Manson not Charles Manson

Who do you think Brian Warner based his character on?

[Americanhero1]

Marilyn Monroe and Manson

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

Yep, I just want to hear the words out of his mouth.

[GoIsraelGo!]

I was not surprised at all to see Woody Allen sign the petition, remember what he did!
He had sex with his adopted daughter who was 12 at the time and then he divorced his wife Mia and ended up marrying his adopted daughter. Woody allen is a disgusting pig who should be doing time in prison. I am so sick of these celebrities getting away with crimes, they remind me of Ted Kennedy who got away with his crimes because he was a kennedy and a senator.
Celebrities get away with too much. I think polanski should come back to the US and do his time like the next person.


                                              Shalom - Dox

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

I wonder how many of these fine specimens who signed would sign a petition urging Jonathan Pollard be freed.

[The One and Only Mo]

Time for Polanski to feel the rape in prison.

[mord]

 Woody Allen that little old pervert they should put him in prison

[zionistfp]

Seems like a pretty bad crime to me.

It does 

[patches]

Who the heck is Roger Kahane? He's on that list, so I'm guessing there's no relation.

[The One and Only Mo]

Woody Allen that little old pervert they should put him in prison

[zionistfp]

I never gave a lot of thought to Chaim's regular bashing of leftist Hollywood types, but now I think he was 100% right.  A middle-aged man who seduces a 13 year old girl with drugs is a dirtbag and I don't have much respect for anyone who would defend him.

[Serbian Canadian]

It's ridiculous that it took over 30 years for him to get arrested. What's the point in him facing justice now? I mean even his victim has forgiven him. This man has had a really weird life.
