18 Kids, 1 Child Molester, and Counting.

Why ruin a perfectly good straw man?

[Tank]

polanski should have been in jail long ago. he's never taken responsibility for what he did, and gone to great lengths to avoid responsibility.

[Glen]

What Roman Polanski did was awful and unforgivable but I don't recall anyone here jumping to his defense.

Nobody here, but as MT pointed out there are at least a few "Hollywood libs" that have called for him to be exonerated.

[Glen]

Since his politics are unpopular nobody seems to care that the law was kind of broken again when his record was made public. That is all most of us were saying.

This aspect is indeed problematical and does seem to be, for the most part, ignored.

[mtangelsfan]

Personally, I think Polanski should be in jail for life.

What say the Duggar supporters?         

 

 

Why ruin a perfectly good straw man?

 

LOL

[the dude abides]

Uh, you're pretty much the only left here arguing on his behalf.

 

"Duggar supporter" is hardly a stretch or a straw man.

 

 

Carry on.... I'm heading off to my local CAIR meeting.

[mtangelsfan]

Dang, you don't even get it.  LOL

[the dude abides]

Apparently not.

 

Enlighten me, please.

[mtangelsfan]

What my thoughts on Polanski is the strawman.  Not whatever childish name you care to label me as.

[the dude abides]

okie doke!

You keep saying that like it's accurate. I had never heard of this guy before this thread. You keep saying that if it weren't for his views this wouldn't be a story. Fair enough. But I'd say it's more like if it weren't for his views he wouldn't be famous and if he wasn't famous this wouldn't be a story. It's a story because he's famous. If he played baseball or was high-ranking in the ACLU this would also be a story. But regardless of that, I think you are confusing the fact that it wouldn't be a story with the idea that people would accept it. If he wasn't famous this wouldn't be on the news everyday. But it's not like if someone told me about it anyway I'd just be like, "Oh well. Some people like to molest kids. What can you do?" I'm opposed to all molesters. People think he's a creep because he diddles kids. People know about it because he's famous. There's a difference between the two things.

As far as people not caring when his records for leaked (or more accurately, deciphered). Yeah, that tends to happen. When bad things happen to bad people good people have a tendency to not care as much. When Mike Brown for shot in the head after stealing from a store and trying to fight a cop...shit happens. When Saddam Hussein was ousted from powers on false charges of WMDs...bye asshole. Hard to feel bad for people who are disgusting mutant monsters. This dude is a fukcing child diddler. Fukc him.

[Jason]

Who brought this whole story to light? Did his victims give consent to have this issue brought up? What if they didn't want it to be brought up. Based on this thread it sounds like some were family members. We're there any that weren't in the family. I'm not even close to an attorney so I don't know what rights, if any, do his victims have. I would think there may be some confidentiality issues here.

[HaloMagic]

Well, they had the right to not be diddled.

The victims haven't been named.

[St1ck]

Child diddling eventually leads to bestiality, which leads to gay marriage. It's a vicious cycle.

[the dude abides]

And gay marriage leads to tornadoes and hurricanes.

A vicious cycle indeed.

Are those moves like donkey punch and Cleveland steamer? Edited June 4, 2015 by Angels N Skins

So Josh confessed to his parents FOUR times before they looked for help or went to authorities. Over that time he had been molesting the girls for 16 months. Shame on Josh, but bigger shame on the parents. There really is no coming back from this.

[Rico]

I don't understand how he was allowed to live in the same household with his victims.  The parents went to great lengths to protect their son, but did nothing to protect their daughters.

 

Anyway, there is a special level of hell for child molesters and people who talk at the theater. 

[Rico]

 

Since his politics are unpopular nobody seems to care that the law was kind of broken again when his record was made public.  That is all most of us were saying.

 

Edit, it is akin to knowing that a guy is guilty of a heinous crime but was convicted due to an illegal search.  The guy committed the crime, "but" the government used bad tactics to get the conviction.

 

There is a reason we have laws.

No law was broken when the record was made public.

[InsideThePark]

So apparently he did molest his 5 year old sister. Yep, child molester.

Have at it, cons.

[nate]

The most disgusting part was the parents minimizing what he did by saying it only happened for a couple of seconds or they were mostly asleep.  They didn't do anything until the third time he came to them.  Disgusting.

 

Oh yeah and the family friend they sent him to to "mentor" him is in jail for 56 years for child porn.

What a pieces of shit him, and his parents are.

[HaloMagic]

You only say that because you disagree with their politics of diddling little children.

[St1ck]

Nope, that's actually the one thing they do I'm good with.

[InsideThePark]

Cancelled.
