Can someone explain to us what the big deal is about Switzerland trying to extradite Roman Polanski is? Roman Polanski, whose career is a film director, who survived the Holocaust, who’s lady was killed in the Charles Manson murders, went out to Jack Nicholson’s house one night, gave some 13 year old girl Quaalude’s, wine, and then had sex with her. Sounds like a wonderful evening doesn’t it?

Here’s the crazy part, people are actually upset that this guy is finally having to pay for his crimes! He spent a few weeks in jail, then raced off to France where he lived in hiding. Now, if Roman Polanski was just a teacher who did this, what would your reaction be? Hell, the Swiss turned him in. The friggin’ Swiss! They’re more impartial than anyone else, and even they had the sense to trip up his raping ass.

Now, forget about the morality of the whole thing, the fact that Roman Polanski should probably be on some sort of sex registry, or the fact that his defense was that the girl was ‘mature’ and ‘willing’, we’re sure she was real mature. She probably got to stay to up to watch MASH that week too. Hell, she’s even joined the crusade in ‘freeing’ him.

If anything it says a lot about society these days. A pedophile, because that is essentially what this man is, forget about what movie he directed or made, lives a life of luxury in Paris in the open! You know, we heard Willie Pickton made some fantastic bacon, John Wayne Gacy made a pretty entertaining clown, and Gordon Campbell drives a car well drunk. At the end of the day, you do the crime, you do the time.

Man up Polanski, man up.
