WTF Roman Polanski...

Well it's been many decades since Roman Polanski was arrested and plead guilty to lewd acts with a minor. In the actual court transcript he plead "guilty" to raping a 13 year old. He drugged this poor girl and raped her. Yes, RAPED.
Now, "Hollywood" is running to his defense because he has created some cinematic masterpieces.
I CALL BULLSHIT!
Ted Bundy was a brilliant man, intellectually speaking. Does that negate his acts?
I don't care if you are the second coming. If you drug and rape a 13 year old ... and ADMIT to it ... be a fucking MAN and deal with the consequences.
I know the victim has said that she has forgiven him and wants to move on. And she should if that's what she feels is best thing to do. Bless this woman's heart. She will, forever, be know as "that" girl.
Polanski, however, has been living it up over in Europe. He's directed some phenomenal films. Does that negate this atrocity? Hell NO. He made a choice. A disgusting act on an innocent 13 year old. He needs to own up to this horrible, horrible offense.
I'm appalled that some of the major players in Hollywood are standing up for him and defending him. It's nauseating.
He is brilliant. He's an amazing artist. AND, he has proven that he is incapable of dealing with the truth. The truth is that he drugged and raped a 13 year old.
So, deal with that Polanski. No amount of art will EVER allow my conscience to defend him.
Artists aren't above reprimand when it comes to such a heinous crime.
As an artist, I'm tired of being tied to these assholes.
