‘While other politicians decline to comment, the French culture minister, Frédéric Mitterrand, says he is “dumbfounded” by Polanski’s “absolutely dreadful” detention, declaring forcibly that it made “no sense” for the director to be “thrown to the lions for an ancient story, imprisoned while travelling to an event that was intending to honour him: caught, in short, in a trap”.
May be he is a good director.That does not absolve him of his criminal deed.”thrown to the lions for an ancient story,”-Minister,raping time ago is story,so is murder;why did you not release Jean Thiry of OAS, for attempting to assassinate De Gaulle;why did you have him shot?Raping is much more a serious crime,that too a minor.Where is your sense of proportion?
This compassion was not in evidence when your Police attacked Illegal immigrants recently.Where was your Liberty,Equality and Fraternity then?Is it reserved for degenerate fat cats?
