I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Poland Honors Child Rapist

This is getting sick:

A star dedicated to Oscar-winning film director Roman Polanski has been unveiled on a new ‘walk of fame’ in Warsaw as he faces three-decade-old child sex charges in the United States.

“Nothing is too shocking to me,” reads a quote on the star attributed to Polanski, 76.

It is one of 12 stars on the walk of fame dedicated to giants of the film world such as Marilyn Monroe, Woody Allen and Penelope Cruz, which debuted on a public walkway in central Warsaw over the weekend.

Polanski was detained in Switzerland on September 26 on a US arrest warrant issued over a 1977 sex case involving a 13-year-old girl in California.

Switzerland’s justice minister on Sunday promised a quick court decision on whether Polanski should be freed or face extradition to the United States.

A federal court in Bellinzone, southern Switzerland, is studying Polanski’s case. His French lawyer, Herve Temime, has said he expects a court decision by the middle of the week.

The 1/4 of me that is Polish is ashamed.
