"The people of California- we’re broke"

Typical liberal fool. The people are not broke. The government is because it squanders the people’s money on vote buying schemes. How about trying this for a change. Do what the California constitution says you can and nothing else. Hey wow look at all the extra money that messed up state would have. These liberal idiots can’t walk out the door without help.

There's no need to prosecute Polanski.  He already pled guilty in 1978 to the crime of plying a thirteen-year-old girl with booze and drugs while doing a photo shoot with her for a magazine and then having sexual relations with her and sodomizing her.  The issue is, and was, that the ADA and the defense attorney agreed to a plea bargain of time served; however, the judge in the case, as was his right, did not accept the plea agreement and was going to sentence the rapist to prison.  Rather than face hard time...and some other hard things...Polanski became a fugitive from justice.

So, what we are left with is radical Hollywood lining up to defend a rapist who pled guilty to his crime and then left the country to escape the justice he had coming to him.  Almost makes one wish for some type of reciprocity to be visited on the Hollywood "elites" who defend this scum.  As Toobin said, "you don't get a pass because you've had a sad life."  If Polanski gets off, after we've finally gotten our hands on him, then there's no need to keep up the facade of a Sexual Offenders List because anyone who had a "sad life" now can use the Polanski Defense instead of the Twinkie Defense.  

...can't guarantee what kind of shape he'll be in though... 

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

"why not...let it rest?”

Wonder if he would apply this to Obama's CIA investigations?

"He came here- he made a seminal film."

Are you supposed to use the word "seminal" when talking about a rapist? Heh Heh.. he said seminal Heh Heh

"mmm, mmm, mm. Barrack-Hussain-Obama." - The liberals cool-aid drinking song

All this frenzy, passion and air time from Hollywood and radical left media types to protect Polansky from due justice raises questions.

Do they want to keep him away from the US to protect themselves or their friends from embarrassing information he might have about them? Is he blackmailing them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

"...and what more can you do to this guy after 30 years...why not...let it rest?”

What more? How about a 20-year sentence for the aggravated rape of a child under 14, plus an extra 20 tacked on for evading justice?

For the life of me, I can not understand the way the left in this country is standing behind a confessed child rapist and asking that the US Judicial System turn a blind eye to his case. Yet, the same left are in an outright frenzy when they ask the same US Judicial System to bring charges against true American Patriots who interrogated enemies of state in order to protect us all.

Please help me understand the standard by which these irrational people make their decisions.

Liberal journalists = Pro-rape and pro-pedophilia activists.  They loved Tookie Williams and the "Jena 6" so I guess they're also pro-murder and pro-black-on-white-beating activists. 

It's not difficult to see the pattern. 

You can bet Roman is kicking himself for not funneling big bucks to Slick, he could have been pardoned like Rich. I don't know if/what Mel Reynolds paid, most likely it was a payback to Jesse Jackson.

They seem to have money for every Libtard program they can think of and able to support a few million illegal immigrants.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

As Patterico points out, there is no need for a trial, since he already pled guilty.  So, no money spent on a trial.  Seems logical to me, Mr. Ridley.

I think I have found the conservative equivalent of one of those feelings trips that liberals always have about saving the whales or global warming: child rape. Just say "child rape" and you all go off the deep end pushing for laws that, like cap-and-trade laws, not only do nothing to solve the problem but make it utterly worse. California is being bankrupt by that ridiculous Jessica's Law even though the case in question occurred in FLORIDA and we DON'T, I repeat, DON'T have a sexual predator epidemic. We are paying for costly sex offender registries that do nothing but harass those reformed offenders that have done their time and can be killed off any time some vigilante-wannabe who thinks they should be done off; Children in remote areas are in greater danger because most sex offenders have to move into these remote areas in order to comply with these area restrictions;

I'll let you in on a little secret: It's mainly the security companies that profit off of these sex-offender laws by using our tax dollars to pay for their shoddy ankle bracelets and other wares they try to peddle to us. They are bankrupting us and endangering ours and our children's lives, liberty, and happiness. How hard is that to figure out?

Send him to trial!

Ridley's argument is so assinine it doesn't even deserve a sarcastic retort.  S.O.B.

when you plead guilty to your crimes-you go to prison.

you folks in Cali-get your legislators to remove crimes by pedophiles off the books-make it okay to drug young kids and abuse them. if that's what you want do it.better yet lets take all the laws off the books-you folks have fun out there.

BHO-  THE PROGRESSIVE PIRATE
