About time a "Star" showed some REAL Character.

Hey folks,

Do you remember Roman Polanski? In 1977, after a photo shoot in Los Angeles, Polanski was arrested for the sexual assault of a 13 year old girl, Samantha Geimerhe. An aspiring model at the time, her family accused famed director Roman Polanski of drugging and then raping her during a March 10, 1977. The incident was said to follow a photo shoot in Los Angeles, California. Polanski was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty to statutory rape. He later pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. To avoid sentencing, Polanski fled to his home in London, but moved on to France the following day.

Samantha was not the only one. British actress Charlotte Lewis told a similar story. She said that he knew how old she was. She said this.

"He met me and forced himself upon me in his apartment in Paris. He took advantage of me and I have lived with the effects of his behavior ever since it occurred. I've traveled to the U.S. at my own expense to make sure that justice is finally done and that Mr. Polanski gets what he deserves. All I want is justice."

So we have a pattern. As with most Sex Offenders, these are most likely NOT the only ones. There are usually a trail of victims that will forever remain in the darkness.

In September 2009, Polanski was arrested by Swiss police, because of his outstanding U.S. warrant when he entered the country to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Zurich Film Festival. He is currently under House Arrest.

Now some Liberal Loons in the Show Business, have started a Petition on behalf of Polanski. Started by, and posted on French Philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy's Website, has received some very predominate Signatures. One that will not appear is Michael Douglas.

Now he was politically correct to a degree, telling a French Radio Show that it would be "unfair" for him to sign a petition for "somebody who did break the law."

Here is the story. According to My Way News - Michael Douglas won't sign petition for Polanski

CANNES, France (AP) - Michael Douglas says he will not sign a petition in support of director Roman Polanski, who is under house arrest in Switzerland in connection with a 33-year-old sex scandal.

Douglas, whose "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" is screening at the Cannes Film Festival, told French radio it would be "unfair" for him to sign a petition for "somebody who did break the law."

Other filmmakers at the festival, including French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard and actor-director Mathieu Amalric, have signed the petition, which is posted on a Web site overseen by renowned French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy.

Polanski was taken into custody in September and is currently under house arrest in Geneva.

The interview aired hours before British actress Charlotte Lewis claimed at a news conference in Los Angeles that she was sexually abused by Polanski in 1982 when she was 16.

Polanski pleaded guilty in 1978 to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. But after a judge said he would renege on the plea bargain, Polanski fled to his native France. He has been a fugitive since then.

In the interview with RTL radio broadcast on Friday, Douglas said Polanski had been given "some bad advice" when the scandal broke.

I have no idea what that means. He was given "some bad advice?" What? Run? No sure what he means by that. But, at the same time, I applaud him for NOT signing the petition.

Congratulations Mr. Douglas, you can add the Display of Logic Award to your Vast collection of Awards you have gotten over the years. I still think Romancing the stone was one of your best works ever.
