Pedophile Polanski Doesn't Deserve Compassion

Don't know what took me so long to hear about Whoopi Goldberg saying that Roman Polanski didn't "rape-rape" the 13-year-old girl many years ago. But now I've heard and I must say that Goldberg, as well as actresses Melissa Gilbert and Debra Winger, who agree with her, go against what's best for young girls, in effect showing disrespect for children.

Of course, I don't know why any of the women said what they did. But it's my guess that both of them like to think that guys like Polanski just make mistakes when they rape young girls. Maybe they like his movies. Frankly, I don't care what their reasons were. They're just plain wrong in condoning the actions of Polanski. He managed to get the charge of rape dismissed, but he admits to drugging and sodomizing the girl. Isn't that enough?

Wonder what each woman would be saying if the girl had been her daughter. She's someone's daughter, you know. Beyond that, anyone under the age of consent is innocent. No matter if a girl wears tight, short skirts and says yes, she cannot consent to sex of any kind. She isn't old enough to know what's best for herself. And in Polanski's case, I believe her and not him. She said he repeatedly raped her and his admitted sodomy shows a real sickness on his part beyond the violent action of rape. Any man who chooses to rape or sodomize someone deserves the strongest penalty possible because he has changed a life forever by his violence.

I get really disgusted when I hear people blame innocent children for actions taken against them. The recently discovered kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard is another example. I've read where some think she could have left, she could have done this or that during the 18 years she was kept captive. She is the victim, an innocent girl when she was kidnapped. Use your energy to try to get laws changed to put away the likes of Dugard's kidnapper and Roman Polanski. America's girls deserve nothing less.
