I.Don't.Care
You know why? Because its over and he has paid for his crimes. Your father beat you. Has your father made amends to you and worked on making atonement for his actions? Because unlike a lot of people like Cosby, Polanski has, at least for Geimer, made atonement.
I don't care if he raped a child. Do you know why? Because as I said, it's over. He's paid for his crime, there's nothing more to do. He's legally paid for his actions, his victim has long since forgiven him. And personally, I think you as well as a lot of other people, are just mad that Polanski isn't being tortured and in jail. I think that you are upset that Polanski is allowed freedom of some sort.
I have a feeling that you, like a lot of people, don't care whether or not Polanski has made amends or not. What you care about is instant justice and making sure Polanski suffers. I have no intention of doing that.
You can blame him, I don't know for what, he admitted to his crime, its not like he denied it. But really, if you want to hold a grudge against someone who has probably had zero effect on you and has paid for his crimes, that's your problem. Personally, I don't have to like what he did but I have no intentions of making a guy into a villain for his past after he's made atonement for that same past.
If you can't support Polanski because you feel his actions just keep you from ever enjoying his work again. That's fine, that's what this whole topic is about. But when people try to continuously vilify people even after they've long since made atonement.
Sorry but that's your fault. When it comes to the Samantha Geimer incident, you have something that has long since been resolved...on both sides. If people are unable to enjoy Polanski's work because of this...again...point of this topic. But anyone who tries to use Polanski's issue as a means to vilify him is an even bigger fool.
