He's also been supported by hollywood as well as a few foreign awards groups, to date. I think there was some grumbling during the pound me too movement. But that was swept under the rug.Quote:

He was arrested, charged and pled guilty to the charge with some sort of wink-wink "understanding" that he'd get a slap on the wrist.Quote:

So there's no question about Polanski's guilt - that was settled by his voluntary guilty plea.
I also wouldn't say that society didn't care about Polanski's drugging, rape, and sodomization of a teenager in the 1970s. Society at large didn't know about it because Hollywood and the MSM were complicit in covering the whole issue up. When it did come to light after his nomination for "The Pianist", the same group of people downplayed it, talked about his "artistic vision", complained about his not being able to return to the US to accept an Academy Award, etc.
The girl who was raped was by then a middle-aged mother and didn't want the spotlight. Prior to his nomination in 2002, the only thing I'd ever heard about him was that he'd directed "Chinatown" -- another film I didn't care for. When society at large did hear about it, I believe the near-universal reaction was a rejection of the storyline that he was a victimized artiste. There were in fact calls for him to be extradited but the Bush administration had a few other irons in the fire at the time and the Obama administration wouldn't even consider it.
I don't agree that society was more accepting of pedophilia 50 years ago although I do believe society was driven more to deny its existence or cover it up due to the shock and horror. There is a distinct difference. Hollywood and the MSM in recent years has been increasing its agitprop to accept all forms of sexual deviancy to include (but not limited to) pedophilia. I don't know why, best theory I can come up with is that they somehow think normalizing the LGTBTQ part of LGBTQIAWXYZ+ means they also have to increase acceptance of the extremes (that "WXYZ+" I make fun of). I don't accept that -- I can rail against "the agenda" from contemporary Hollywood and MSM without accepting or defending the Westboro Baptists. I can defend the 2A as protection against tyranny without supporting some nutjob spraying a concert in Las Vegas.

I'm still angry that Kyle Rittenhouse isn't home where he should be. Trump ought to put him in protection of US marshals. And BLM should be designated a "terrorist" group.
Gonna burn some more
Breanna Taylor case: 1 cop got 3x charges of wanton endangerment in the 1st degree. Not because rounds were fired into the apartment, but because rounds entered a neighboring apartment. Max 5yrs and $10k per count.
No other charges
I've been hearing Breonna Taylor isn't the angel some are making her out to be. Doesn't make what happened to her right by any means. But it sounds like she may have been knee deep in the drug dealing going on.
No, and as much as I disagree with no knock warrants even being legal, it does try to dispel the left's argument that the cops were at the wrong house. It also probably helped with only the one ex cop being charged with wanton endangerment instead of a manslaughter charge and the others charged.Quote:
