We need to bomb Roman Polanski back to the stoneage!

-DOJ Secure

the hijacking was in 1968 (nineteen SIXTY EIGHT), not '86.

3 - Don't federal and state employees have the day off for Columbus Day?

Roman Polanski...is depressed and dejected

As are many rape victims

Seventh?

You dont know what she was wearing at the time. She was probably asking for it.

3,

I'm caught up on my work, so no.

Has anyone raped Polanski in prison?

I love when these angry, unemplyoed recent grads make a post like "You're going to get fired and we're coming for your jobs!" I have seen this about 10-12 times and finalyl, I have to respond-

Assuming arguendo, that the posting attorney is about to lose his or her job, let me just say what a load of rubbish that whole line of thinking is-

If a lawyer is going to be laid off, the lawyer is often not replaced with anyone. The lawyer is gone and the position has been eliminated, and there is nothing for an agrny, opinionated Fordham '09 grad to get.

If the lawyer is replaced, the replacement usually has some degree of substantive experience - a clerkship or experience at a boutique or something like that.
Recent grads don't know how to do anything, and they are of no use to many places until they have had some training/experience.

are you kidding? He is in Zurich. Have you ever been to Zurich? There is not a single person in the whole city (the whole country really) That can be portrayed as the least bit intimidating. He is kickin back with zwei bier und wienerschnitzel

Maybe Roman Polanski should have served all of his time back in 1977, he wouldn't be so depressed and dejected today if he had. Better yet, he should have hired an expensive call girl back then instead of raping a 13 year-old girl. I wouldn't have prosecuted him for the former, only for the latter.

Roman should be depressed. If he's returned to the US, he likely will get to spend some quality time with Bubba for a cellmate. Roman needs to get a big on up the ass, just like he gave that little girl.

10 - Homosexual rape in prison is a distinctly American phenomenon. Something about the national psyche. It doesn't happen in more progressive, less religiously fundamentalist countries.

5 - yes, but that assumes that you work for a judge that isn't evil :-)

9 - nothing to do with being caught up or not. But if you aren't at work, why are you trolling the comment section at 9:30am?

13 - You may be the worst schtick here and that's really saying something. You're not remotely funny (even though there are lots of places to go with it) and you don't even know the facts of the situation you're trying to make fun of. The reason using hookers got Spitzer in such trouble is because he HAD prosecuted hookers. So, yes, you would have gone after Polanski for using a hooker.

15, you are totally full of shit. Butt fucking is normal in prisons all over the world, particularly in Islamic countries. You don't know shit you shit for brains loser.

he wasn't captured - he negotiated his own return. check the times, not cnn.

19 - Not true. I've read studies by Amnesty International that show you are as much as seven times more likely to get raped in an American prison than a western European prison. Americans are way more religious than Europeans, and homosexuality is a much bigger taboo in the USA. Because homosexuality is such a taboo, there are many more repressed homosexuals in the USA than in Europe. This explains why you are much more likely to get raped in an American prison.

You wouldn't be as angry about this indisputable fact if you could be more honest with your self and others. I'm not going to out you here, but you know what I'm talking about.

Studies by Amnesty international? Come now; they distort information worse than MSNBC.

Fascinating that 15, like a good liberal, points to American fundamentalism as the cause of male-on-male rape in US prisons, instead of the obvious difference between American prisons and those in the rest of the world -- the high concentration of American blacks.

15/21 is trolling and doing quite well.

Did anyone read the NYT article? It was awful. It was just a compilation of like 4 people that said that the murderers might be innocent.

Just terrible.

18, you're an idiot. Spitzer's blindness to the obvious hypocrisy was the point of the schtick. If you don't like it or find it funny, fine, but don't pretend I don't know the facts of the situation. Turn on your brain.

26 - Cardinal rule of schtick is never break character. You just broke that rule, and are therefore disqualified from any further involvement in the comments. Thanks for playing, better luck with the next one. - 18.

Sorry to break one of your rules, douche. You're probably one of the posters who thinks it is creative to jump in with "first."

25--I agree. However, it is also very old news. I've been following the West Memphis Three case for years now. There are only so many new angles a journalist can pursue. It seemed like the sole point of the article was to keep the case in the news.

26/28 - Cardinal rule of comedy - it's not funny if you have to explain it. - 18/27

18/27/30 - Thanks for the advice, I'm going to let this just die, like my political career.
