Roman Polanski deserves to go to jail

Period.

Some of the words spoken in his defense.

"surprising because Roman for the last 12, 15 years has lived in Switzerland, he has a home, he travels there, he works there".

"Switzerland let a guest walk into a nasty trap. We should be ashamed,"

"not only a grotesque farce of justice, but also an immense cultural scandal"

Huh? Having a home in Switzerland is no reason for a convicted rapist not to get arrested. Swiss treatment of guests is legendary. The world knows what they did with the Nazis. "Grotesque farce of justice" statement comes from the French Culture Minister. What f***ing culture?

These instances make the Europeans look real bad and kind of vindicate George Bush's intolerance of all things French.

Yes Roman Polanski has gone through some terrible things in life, losing his mother to a Nazi concentration camp and his wife and unborn child being brutally murdered. But that's not reason for a man to run away from the charges he has been accused of. These charges are grave indeed, and no passage of time nor Oscar statuettes would dissolve the depravity of child rape.
