Roman Polanski and his former wife, the late Sharon Tate

As far I'm concerned, Switzerland can take their watches, chocolates, and secret bank accounts full of Nazi gold, and shove it up their ass. They've denied the United States' extradition request for famous child molester Roman Polanski and have made him a free man within their country. From AP:
The Swiss government declared renowned film director Roman Polanski a free man on Monday after rejecting a U.S. request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. The Swiss mostly blamed U.S. authorities for failing to provide confidential testimony about Polanski's sentencing procedure in 1977-1978.

The stunning decision could end the United States' three-decade pursuit of Polanski, unless he travels to another country that would be willing to apprehend him and weigh sending him to Los Angeles. France, where he has spent much of his time, does not extradite its own citizens, and the public scrutiny over Switzerland's deliberations may dissuade other nations from making such a spectacular arrest.

"Mr. Polanski can now move freely. Since 12:30 today he's a free man," Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf declared.

Authorities in Los Angeles and Washington cannot appeal the Swiss decision. Sandy Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, declined to comment.
I've got a brilliant idea. Clearly the Swiss love their child molesters. Well coincidentally, here in America, we have tons of child molesters in prison. See where I'm going with this? Why don't we ship our most depraved child molesters over there? We'd be happy because we'd be saving the millions of tax dollars it takes to incarcerate those perverts. And Switzerland would be happy because they'd have millions of men walking the streets who love to fuck kids. This is really a win-win situation for everyone involved. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama sets this plan in motion later today.

    Holy shit, Anonymous posters are absolutely humorless. It wasn't a comment meant to be dissected, I admit it was a piss poor attempt at humor.

    Oh, so you want the dirty kid toucher back, huh? Mexicans go home but the rapist who makes shitty movies gets the grand invite. Ricky Ricardo must be rolling over in his grave.

  • Anonymous

    Ricky Ricardo was Cuban, but Cubans and Mexicans are both the same people, Hispanics. Sort of like saying a people from New Jersey and New York are the same people.

  • Anonymous

    How do you conclude this logic is the same? New York and New Jersey are two STATES not countries.

  • Anonymous

    Cuba and Mexico used to be two states of Spain, and speak Spanish, all Hispanic are the same peoples. Maybe someday New York and New Jersey be their own countries again like before the United States took over them.

  • crtb

    Are you kidding? This is the worst logic I have ever read. This is like saying Brazil, Mozambique and Portugal are the same because they all speak Portuguese. Or Puerto Rico, Argentina and Equatorial Guinea are the same because they all speak Spanish. Or France, Senegal and Haiti are the same because the all speak French. Or Trinidad, Irland and the USA is the same because we both speak English.

  • master yoda

    Cool... this is the first time I've seen "Hispanic" used in a sentence without also seeing the word "filthy".



    Bravo!

  • Raoul

    He is a famous international producer and artist. Besides the extradation notice was flawed. Maybe the American Department of Justice and Court System need to get their act together, dot the i's and cross the t's.



    Why should a famous man suffer because of an unjust court system and unjust laws. In most of the world what he was charged with doing is not a crime, and ripe 13 year old girls are not considered children. In America, you are still considered a child up to age 21. You people are wierd.

  • Anonymous

    Tell me what country doesn't consider age 13 still a child? I bet they aren't in the United Nations.

    They make up the United Nations.

    Ann, mein liepschun, your broken english explanation is full of holes like your cheese and this child molester should play with his own balls uns sthay awuay from de kinder fraulines and nein poken in de poopenschooten.

  • Anu

    Well - he had his house in Gstaad for years and they could have arrested him since then - he was here every year - why now?

    I am sure it is only some weird political pressure America wanted to give us and for this I am proud we didn't give in.



    Too bad the playball is a child molester - artist or not. Also America wasn't really behind him since last year - so stop putting the blame on us in Switzerland.



    And for the Nazi connections:

    Like every other nation we tried to survive somehow and most of us alive today (like the alive Germans) have nothing to do with this shit back then - so stop pointing your finger and see what your great gouvernment does daily out in this world.

  • Master yoda

    Yeah, when the sh*t hits the fan anywhere around: earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, etc. THE FIRST THING NATIONS DO is call for Switzerland!!!



    At that point, the Swiss army, navy, marines and air force descend with thousands of soldiers and millions of dollars worth of food and water.



    Either that, or they send a check for like... $10...because, you know.. things are kind of tight right now.. but if you call back in like 3 weeks, Switzerland can probably come up with at least another $5.00

  • gobo

    What are you rabbiting on about? Are you trying to imply that nations in difficulty get aid from the US forces? If so- HA! Fat chance. As I recall it was only a few years ago when the United States government seemed unable or unwilling to provide aid to the victims of hurricane Katrina and that was on home ground. Back to the relevant point; The swiss could not extradite him because the U.S. prosecutors were unwilling to provide them with essential court documents from his trial. The issue is unfortunately not about Polanski's guilt but keeping within the confines of their own legal system.

    Financial pledges from the US to Haiti $1,400 per person



    Swiss pledges to Haiti $1.80 per person.



    Nuff said.



    As far as Katrina, stop drinking the DNC Koolaid. The hurricane was bad, but when the levees broke and the floods rushed in, it was all over.



    US aid given out since 2000: 1.1 TRILLION dollars. What we've gotten in return: the finger.

  • Anon

    If only someone would rape Polanski in the ass, they could come to America and wouldn't get extradited.

  • master yoda

    You guys are over-thinking this. If they won't send Polanski back here, we'll threaten to send Kate Gosselin over there.



    That dickweed will be on the DOJ doorstep by dinner time tonight!

    Haha.



    I love you.

  • David

    This things piss me off, the guy is off the hook because he’s famous. I bet that if he were Mr. nobody he’d be in jail and register as sex offender for life.

  • KJIH-TV Media (ntvnat.com) win

    Oh? You mean like R. "Golden Showers" Kelly who committed statutory RAPE of a 14-year-old, in which he *urinator* (ew!) and even VIDEOTAPED it and got off (no pun intended!) Scot-free.



    RoPo's most biggest crime, according to Americans, is that he was a NON-American who committed a sex crime on American soil.
