Polanski's biggest detractors here write about his crime almost pornographically!

[CocoaBeachCoco]

Their disgust with the mans actions evidently don't translate into an aversion for writing about it so graphically that it almost reads like kiddie porn...let alone the sexually sadistic undertones when they write about what they would like to see done to him in prison as punishment.

Really, now.

2. I want him in jail.

It would send a message to all the wealthy fucks who think that they are above the law.

3. bravo!

4. Two issues where graphic language rather than euphemism is called for:

Drunk driving
child molesting/rape

What, you want we should wink wink nod nod and allude to the transgression of a child rapist? Too much like pardoning it for many people.

7. "He had anal intercourse with her.He needs to be punished to the extent of the law" really would do.

"He came from behind her and fucked her in the ass. I want him beat into submission in prison and ass-raped by his cellmate!" sounds to me like the writer is almost enjoying it vicariously. Sorry.

8. So.... describing is bad, but doing it isn't?

If describing it is tantamount to "kiddie porn", what does that say about the actual crime?

He belongs in jail.

9. Oh, my, is that what you extrapolated? Honestly.

[JBoris]

11. "Honestly", he belongs in jail.

15. and should have been years ago

10. It's different when an "artist" does it.

I guess.

[Nye Bevan]

13. How about just using the testimony?

[comrade snarky]

14. I didn't know that much about the case

I'm glad to have seen the graphic testimony. It has most definitely informed my new opinion of him as a wretch of a human being. Sure, he's a great artist but then again so was Ezra Pound.

Sadistic revenge fantasies are fine so long as they remain fantasy. You're not going to try to claim you haven't indulged are you? They often happen when people are faced with an injustice they internalize on a very personal level. Something like the rape of a 13 year old girl for instance.

I'd be more surprised if there weren't revenge fantasies flying on these threads.

Humans are messy.

16. Kind of like anti-gay repubs really being secretly gay?

... interesting.:think:

17. Reading the unexpurgated testimony of his victim was pornographic enough for me, thank you.

I mean, did you? There's a link here at DU --> http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/polanskib10.html

The OP is --> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6642754

I've started hiding every thread with his name in it because I can't stand it any more. I responded to yours just to let you know of the testimony link in case you hadn't see it.
