Polish court rejects US request to extradite Roman Polanski

No, we cannot all agree on that.

You cannot agree wit me that a cold blooded killer should spend at least 1 day in jail?

He is regretting his action, and has not committed a crime in 38 years.

First part is not true, second part is speculation. You seem to think it is ok to disregard the law if you can run away from it for long enough. You must also be of the opinion that the nazis that gassed the jews and slipped through the cracks should not be punished either?

Punishment should fit the crime.

Yes and the crime is rape. The crime was not "rape that inflicted x amount of arbitrary units of suffering to the victim."

Yes, premeditated crimes done in cold blood should be punished more severely than crimes of passion. Have you considered your opinion is barbaric and has no excuse in any civilized society?

Yes, I have and I've come to the conclusion that your idea of "civilized" is stupid and barbaric.

If I ever end up in your "civilized" world I will make sure I get drunk before I rape people so that it is not as bad to rape them.

AFAIK they all took drugs, because it was a party.

So fucking what. What planet are you from that this is any kind of excuse

That is informed and intelligent. Great rebuttal, right?

Do you think everything deserves a serious rebuttal? If you say something as retarded as what you said I am not going to legitimize your point by responding to it seriously.

I believe that I am rather well informed on the goings on in their judicial and penal systems and my sentiments stem fully from that information. It's good to hate something if it's objectively bad.

Well if you think so, then it must be true!

That is pragmatic and wise. Rehabilitation is aiming at removing anti-social individuals up to that point where they are harmful. He is not harmful any more.

Your idea of law and justice is just so fucked. I don't think there is a country in the world that implements systems as extreme as what your views are. following your example would sow so much resentment and anger in the victims of the criminals that you would not punish that it would build up and explode after a time. Commit crime, hide just long enough, become immune. No justice for victims will lead to their building anger and mistrust in the state.

Germany doesnt arrest 90 year old nazis because they think these 90 year old people are going to kill jews, they arrest them because it is the right thing to do. For the law and order of a state and for the victims of their crimes.

Unless you have source that is hearsay. While the fact is, he has not been accused of any further child rape in the past 38 years.

Al Capone was also never arrested for anything except tax evasion. The fact, is your man was convicted of raping a child. I don't need to have more victims of his to think he should be punished.

Either start acting like a civilized human being, or don't bother to respond at all

I refuse to engage with such vile human being

Hilarious. Make no mistake. I think you are a scumbag. An apologist for child rapists and completely lost in his idiotic pseudo intellectual leftist ideals. You are the lowest of the low. Defending pigs like that child raping piece of shit.
