Supports Child Rapist


I'm so disappointed that this beautiful and talented actress would sign a petition supporting child rapist/sodomizer Roman Polanski.

I just can't understand how any of these celebrities could give him their support (Aside from Woody Allen, of course... for him it makes perfect sense).

Roman Polanski drugged, raped and sodomized a 13 year-old girl. In what universe is this acceptable behavior?

reply

In no universe is this acceptable. Shame on Tilda Swinton for supporting the child rapist Roman Polanski.

reply

I support Tilda
I support Roman


Two vastly talented artists.

Oh my god, get over yourself you conservative right wing people. The woman doesn't even care now. She probably lied about her age and seduced him. God, if I could I would seduce Mr. Polanski right now. and I'm a guy, but I'm 22. Anyhow get over it. If he gets arrested it will limit freedom of speech. Because, you right wing people will be like: "oh in his latest film... the main character has sex and does drug... oh... how immoral... etc..."

You people are so anal! It's a private matter, and the girl has decline her charges against him. It was 30 years ago. Get over it. I mean no one was traumatised, apart from Roman himself.

Hello people, George Bush breaks international law and spreads genocide across the middle east, is anybody arresting him??? I don't think so.

I support all the directors on the list, including Allen, Almodovdar etc.. all of' em.

Um, I'm so far left I'm a member of the Green Party. I am an agnostic, Obama-voting liberal.

Politics have NOTHING to do with this. Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year old girl. Actions like that transcend politics. She did not lie about her age. He knew exactly how old she was, and he has admitted that. Whether you are conservative or liberal doesn't matter... if you are SANE you should want Polanski to spend the rest of his life in prison.

reply

Polanski should go to jail if he did it.

Tilda Swinton's statement may have been unwise and poorly thought out, but should she be condemned for merely expressing it? That would monumentally unfair to her.

EVERY person in the world has expressed an unwise, not-so-admirable statement at some point or another.

reply

Yes, I can condemn her for supporting a man who admits to drugging and raping a 13 year-old girl.

reply

I would want to hear a statement from Tilda on why she supports him before I would condemn her for expressing her opinion.

Either way, it was statutory rape, and a 13 yr old CANNOT consent to sex. Get over yourself.
