Peter Fonda Thinks Roman Polanski Isn't so Bad

on Oct. 1, 2009 12:45 PM / 25 Comments

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?

    Some people should just keep their mouths shut. He and his daughter are morons. Lets just forget the fact that Polanski is a child rapist because he's famous and can direct a decent film. Celebrities make me sick with their holier than thou attitude.

    The man drugged and then RAPED a 13 year old girl for goodness sake. How so many people can sit here and defend this sick man is beyond me.

    I heard Fonda say Polanski is a bastard. So what's his true opinion?

    So, according to Peter Fonda no one should be arrested until Osama Bin Laden gets arrested first. Is that his logic, or just another flashback? Where did he get his morals from? It couldn't be from his father. He must have gotten them from his sister.

    When people want crap from the Fondas they'll squeeze their heads.

    I don't think the populace knows the exact details of the rape. He went beyond rape. This man is an extreme, vile pedophile, nothing less. It has been reported that Polanski thought it was no big deal, that he had had younger victims. Suppose someone did the same exact acts to his children. Oh yes, he'd say, no big deal, right? No mercy from USA, maybe God, but time to pay. I actually think God will be even less merciful. Further, no wonder Henry Fonda was so ashamed of both his daughter and son.

    You guys understand nothing. It's not about what Roman did it's about humanity. What good will it do to bring him behind bars now hurting his family, ruining the rest of his productive life? Will it change anything in what happened then? Will it fix anything? Adding another tragedy to the one that happened and that was forgiven by the victim will do any good? What a stupid notion of justice Americans have! Absolutely agree with what the French foreign minister said: sinister and stupid.

    Thanks for your comment Peter, Roman Polanksi could not have had more love, sympathy and support.. the injustice done to his beautiful wife and eight month child by maniacs murdering..ripping the innocent infant from it's mothers womb..it was horror! beyond horror! obviously he used drugs to order an encourage his hippie chicks to murder,he went on to become a brilliant Director...unfortunately he broke the law against an innocent jinnocent.justust as horrific? ...the law won, just as you pay for your parking tickets you pay the crime. How would he feel if Charlie Manson escaped America and broke the law?
    he was a song writer besides maniac. I'm sorry your brilliant
    friend had to suffer so deeply. Is it The Bill of Rights I'm protecting here or the honor of an innocent? It's the Law.
    Quaaludes 714 Rorer would have made the devil love you.
    It was Romans slow premeditating diabolic seduction through the use of a camera and famous friends home with a drug mixed with alcohol that not only was dangerous could really have killed her, I wish him well, but please don't insult The United States of American Law..it's all about how to get away with it, not a man with humility but a c*ck sure attitude of how dare you do this to me!! who the hell is he? a nice guy that loves to party and hide behind a statue? I challenge any father to consider this, consider the manipulation of his new film/documentary coming out with Weinstein. I'm not trying to change your mind, only some ordinary person with a deep sense of justice for an innocent infant or child. America used
    all its power to apprehend the murderers of his family, and rightfully so. I refuse to be branded by any name, I just want
    Mr. Polanski to get IT. pay your parking ticket, take the hit, and for goodness sake don't allow lawyers to use you for money.
    You need a serious P.R. company.

    Are you joking? He raped a 13 year old. Read the transcript of her testimony. If you do the crime you should do the time. The artical is wrong. He is NOT "facing charges". He admitted guilt and has been convicted.
