Oh boy...
35 years ago. He's served a lot of time (I never understood why people want him to serve a life sentence).
He served 42 days. Go and check it if you don't believe me. He was supposed to submit to a psychiatric evaluation and stay in an institution for 90 days but whined and cried a lot that he wanted to go home and was released on bail after 42 days. That is all he served.
He's admitted that what he did was wrong.
When was that? In his biography (this is according to a review. I have not read the book and don't intend to) he basically brags about his victim. He puts her in line with all his other "conquests".
In an interview he gave in France he said to Martin Amis in 1979 "If I had killed somebody, it wouldnโt have had so much appeal to the press, you see? Butโฆ *******, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to **** young girls. Juries want to **** young girls. Everyone wants to **** young girls!"
Read the last sentence. He basically says that the fuss is just that everybody is jealous because he *beep* children.
I know a lot of people won't be satisfied until a conviction is "official," but to me that's a form of mechanical thinking to which I simply can't adapt and find posthuman.
How about "Wont stop mentioning the issue until he has actually done at least 3 years in prison", is that posthuman, too?
And to finish this one a little additional note, if you think a man is punished enough for raping a child with spending 34 years in southern France with more money than he can ever spend and a beautiful wife, let me ask you, do you have a daughter I could borrow for an evening? I am not into that but for this kind of "punishment" I think I could force myself.
Sorry if the last sentence went too far but I think some of these Polanski defenders really need the metaphorical kick in the balls to wrap their minds around what they are defending.
I think humanity should be wiped out and then we can give evolution a second chance.
