Polrantski
Roman Polanski isn't the only sex offender to go unpunished. I am taking a risk by posting this, which I have previously only shared with friends, but I think it's important.
What follows is my account of my family's own experience with a sex offender, and why the people supporting Polanski's "liberation" send not just the message that wealthy people can evade crimes, but that any sex offender can evade a crime.

This is amazing. But I would re-mix the background sound and effects. It's a little too loud and it can be difficult to hear your story at times. I would definitely suggest in the future not using background music with lyrics because it competes for attention with what you're saying, which is important and incredibly well argued.
Second to everything Mighty Ponygirl said.
I can't (and yet I can) believe there's not more outrage about that creepy guy being re-hired!
Just today at my school's library reading the paper I found a small piece on past Hollywood sex scandals that naturally referenced the current Polanski bullshit. I wouldn't have given it a second look if it hadn't mentioned the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, but the asshat that wrote it put something about how Polanski "had sex with" a thirteen-year-old girl. Fortunately I was able to fix that little oversight.
