Reminder: Roman Polanski raped a child .

really, that’s all there is to say.

he is a child rapist. he ought to be listed and punished as a sex offender. not because punishment rehabilitates–it certainly doesn’t; and not even because anyone who is prone to rape children would pay any attention to his being made a big shiny example of – they wouldn’t – but because there should not be one law for the rich and another for everyone else.

i mean, personally, i think child rapists ought to be physically neutered and all of their offspring ought to be euthanized. we need to remove that stuff from the gene pool by any means necessary. harsh, but it’s for the greater good of humanity. (that’s right, call me a eugenics-loving nazi. death panels! abortion rights! feminism! vegetarianism! whatever. i don’t care.)

but listing him and penalizing him to the full extent of the law is a good start, and i’ll settle for that much. i don’t blame him for running away. we all know what happens to child-rapists in jail. but that doesn’t mean that he should be exempted simply because he had the means to run.
