Seems to me that is a list of 100 who should be charged with aiding and abeting a pedophile. Non celebrity pedophile rapists get 10 to 40 years. Polanski is a convicted criminal who took flight to avoid sentencing, and on that charge alone should be extridited post haste, tried for fleight, then sentenced for rape of a minor and escape.
Instead of spending money on going to the movies, divert that amount to charities that support our troops. These idiot actors earn millions while our troops earn so little.
Top reasons why celebrities (and others) might excuse criminals like Polanski (and others who’ve committed similar crimes):
1. They’ve done it themselves
2. They might do it themselves
3. The criminals are “talented” and such talent is more important than whatever justice might be required
4. The victim was too tempting and the criminal was “only human”
5. The criminals have similar talents to those celebrities
6. The criminals earn a lot of money for their industry
7. The criminal is a sympathetic figure
8. The crime happened a long time ago
9. None of the celebrities or their relatives were harmed by the criminal
10. The victim is now dead or doesn’t care to pursue the charges or to see justice done after so many years
11. The victim “asked for it”
12. The justice system didn’t consider the consequences to the criminal’s family
13. The criminal reminds them of another criminal who was “unjustly” accused and impeached while being president
Heck, I’m sure there are thousands more.
That seems like a good list of people never to patronize again.
Nobody I give a fart in a high wind for. Pervs, Frenchmen, and self-absorbed has-beens. But an excellent list for future reference. Saves the labor of building a black list from scratch.
LOL, I guess I’m a real dunce when it comes to celebs.
I recognized one name( Woody Allen ) out of the list of supporters. Who are these people and what makes their support important?
