Peter Fonda Thinks Roman Polanski Isn’t so Bad

Oct 1, 2009 at 12:45pm

Peter Fonda likes to keep things in perspective. Perhaps a little too much.

The Easy Rider actor is speaking up about director Roman Polanski, who’s currently facing charges of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1973.

According to Fonda, he doesn’t understand the hoopla over Polanksi because, hey, things could be worse.

Says Fonda,

“We should have been celebrating the arrest of Osama bin Laden and not the arrest of Polanski. [Roman Polanski] is not responsible for killing anyone.”

Oh, well, hey then; let’s throw open the prison gates and release all the non-murderers!

Have your say in the comments section: Does Peter Fonda have a point, other than the one on the top of his head?
