Perspective

Let me get this straight….
Roman Polanski drugged and raped a teenage girl, and he gets off scot-free. Indeed, he is perpetually lauded by the glitterati, and is in no danger of ever being under-employed, if he should ever desire to work. He has his millions, and could in theory simply spend the rest of his life sipping Dom Perignon on the beach at the French Riviera.
Sure, he has a reputation as a brilliant movie director. Let’s grant him that much.
Nevertheless, Roman Polanski drugged and raped a teenage girl.
Mel Gibson, on the other hand, used harsh language and had the bad taste to be caught on tape doing so.
Maybe if, like Roman Polanski, he’d drugged and raped a teenage girl he’d be treated better by his peers and the press.
