THIS guy looks like a nice fellow, doesn't he?
Can't you people forget a little thing like...putting a hit on a woman, having her killed, and grinding her up and feeding her to dogs? OF COURSE YOU CAN.
He's not POLANSKI or COSBY, after all. They are still being dragged through the courts. Not Bruno, here.
"What are YOU lookin' at, amigo? Never seen a murderer before? Lemme play SOCCER!!!"
That's Bruno Fernandes de Souza.
After a mere six years in prison, he's out, and signed to play soccer in Brazil. The owner of the team feels he deserves a second chance, but a few malcontents have been on Twitter, having the NERVE to COMPLAIN.
Interesting, isn't it? You can get your ex-girlfriend killed over nothing, and enjoy the sadism of making sure her body is chopped up and fed to dogs...and you're forgiven.
The owner of the soccer team is standing by Bruno.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Roman Polanski is still fighting a 40 year-old case and asking to be allowed into America. You know, he wants the same rights that Islamic radical terrorists have. THEY get into this country all the time.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Bill Cosby, his career ruined, has been dealing with a long, drawn out 10 year technicality that could send him to prison. He didn't grind up a woman and feed her to dogs. No. This case concerns a woman who got offended that she made herself available to a married man, alone in his home, and he came on to her. That's all.
He didn't rape her. He certainly didn't kill her. In fact, he gave her some money to soothe her, and she was no longer very offended. She bought him a sweater and gave it to him as a present. She made herself available to him all over again. Wanted to go see his concerts. Didn't she?
To the satisfaction of the Philadelphia prosecutor at the time, there was no more case. Ten years later, it's been re-opened even though it was settled by everyone involved.
The Polanski case? The girl involved does not want to see Polanski punished or banished. Isn't that enough? He's spent 40 years wondering when some zealot prosecutor would come to his door and haul him away. In fact, he served a year of house arrest while various countries bickered over whether he could be tried for something that happened in another country. "Hey, America wants that guy, but France isn't giving him up. What if he's in Switzerland or Sweden or Poland, can we bag him in THAT country and shove him on a plane bound for the States? Would that make us all happy, even if it's really none of our business, and there are terrorists that we're ignoring??"
Like Cosby, Polanski had a deal going. He only fled the country when he learned that the judge had changed his mind and was going to throw the book at him. The judge, like the current Cosby prosecutor/persecutor, figured it would be great publicity to be an Avenging Angel.
One can't make light of the charges against Polanski and Cosby, except to point out that most of what they did took place in an era when promiscuity, sexual revolution and new forms of prescription drugs were all cheered by a permissive society. Even today, on most every college campus, you'll hear of "date rape drugs" considered common and "no big deal." You'll hear, in high schools and junior high schools, about teachers having sex with 13 year-olds.
What IS out of the ordinary, is killing a woman for a petty and selfish "reason," and then having her turned into hamburger for dogs. Yet THAT guy is free and ready to get paid to play GAMES.
