Sorry To Return To This, But...

Why all this celebrity support for Polanski when nobody jumped to the defence of Gary Glitter?

What has Roman got that Gary hasn't?

No-one plays Gary's music anymore, but Polanski is still in work. At the time of his arrest he was preparing a movie about Tony Blair.
 
I don't get it, I really don't.

A former fraud detective in our town was sent to proson for having indecent films and images of girls as young as three and was in contact with someone offering children for sale.
He's served just six months and is walking the streets of town.
I wonder about our legal system

I can top that horror.

A man in my mother's town raped his stepdaughter continuously from the time she was three or four until the time she was fourteen. It came out when she was passing out blow jobs for $2 a piece in the back of the school bus. :(

He served two years in prison and is out. He's been stalking young girls coming home from school in the neighboring towns. The law says he's as free as you or me until he actually "does something."

By the time he does something, another young girl's life is ruined.

Oh,and on a truly ironic note--he ran for school board about six years ago. And some people voted for him.

wtf????

That's terrible.

I don't understand how such a serious crime can draw such a short sentence.

I trust the police are keeping a eye on him.

All sorts of people are walking the streets who represent a danger to the public, but you can't lock up every potential offender up for life. It's an insoluble problem.

Once upon a time the victim's family (mostly Dad and brothers) would take care of the problem. Of course when the Dad is the problem......

Vigilante justice- a problem to solve a problem.

I don't think our society has quite woken up yet to the fact that most abuse happens in the home. We're still putting most of our resources into a defence against "stranger-danger".

Put them down like you do a vicious dangerous animal, because that's what they are animals.
