It seems that Hollywood has lined up in support of Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland over the weekend, 31 years after he fled the United States following a guilty plea to having had sex with a 13-year old girl. Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, Michael Mann, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Weinstein and more than 100 others have signed a letter asking that he be released.
Again, I believe that the level of morality and decency in Hollywood is probably on par with a typical California Maximum Security Penitentiary. Maybe even a little lower, since at least the convicts are being punished for their immorality (some are likely to even be genuinely remorseful). Whereas Hollywood degenerates are richly rewarded for their immorality.
Surber goes on to ask:
The real question is now that the public knows that they support pedophiles, will anyone of any decency go to see movies that involve Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, Michael Mann, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Weinstein or the more than 100 others who have signed a letter asking that Polanski be released?
I already have a long list of actors whose movies I boycott — Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, Whoopie Goldberg, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Russell Crowe, Janeane Garofalo, to name must a few.
So it wont’ be any problem adding Scorsese Lynch, Anderson, Allen, and the others to this growing list. I’m just not going to support their brand of moral degeneracy.

What we really need is a list of those who have spoken out against him. So far there is:
Luc Besson, Kirstie Ally, Greg Grunberg, Lisa Kudrow…
No problem for me.
I am in my twentieth year of boycotting Hollyweird.
The last movie I went to was The Passion of Christ. Before that, it was The Man From Snowy River
Movies are basically visual garbage and I see no reason to spend hard earned money watching garbage.
I want to be entertained, not indoctrinated and I see no reason to line the pockets of those I have no respect for.
It seems as though the authorities in Switzerland are blinded by money and fame as well. I guess when you are a rich and famous director you get a free pass on child rape. Disgusting.
This is also sickening. This “artist” victimized his own underage — and unwilling — daughters . . . all in the name (and under the disguise) of art. It is the general feeling of entitlement such people display that enables them to trample roughshod over the rights and desires of others so easily.
The link to the article is the first word (“This”) . . . I forgot to bold it.
Europe has a long history of well connected child abusers getting away with murder.
There was a big scandal in the mid 90s where some Belgium creep was paroled after raping little girls who then started kidnapping them, putting them in holes in his basement, and starving them to death. This was in some way connected to some kiddie sex ring in a number of other countries, where high government officials committed suicide to avoid arrest.
Now I hear there is another high end kid sex ring operating.
It simultaneously breaks my heart and infuriates me to know that anyone could do that to an innocent child. I had never read about those cases (and, frankly, I don’t believe I have the stomach to look them up to read). It frustrates me to no end that there is nothing that I can do about it and it enrages me to know how those children were tortured and abused . . .
The only thing we can do is to practice vigilance in our respective communities by keeping an eye out for children who may be abused — and absolutely refuse to turn a blind eye. To one child you or I, as individuals, may mean the entire world when it comes to intervention. And, as a collective society, we must ensure that child molesters/abusers and child killers are punished to the fullest extent of the law and never released from prison alive. As far as I am concerned, the death penalty is the only appropriate sentence for such monsters.
Slap on the hand and turn them loose and they have the nerve to lecture us on how enlightened they are. Subsequently, they tightened up their sentencing a bit, but it is still not justice.
