Well, it doesn’t “capture it” actually…
The first comment asks “how one would feel if…” the answer to that is on record by the mother of the victim, and the victim herself, for all to see in the documentary “Polanski, wanted and desired.”
Of course the answer is ignored because it is inconvenient - it doesn’t agree with the national script which requires for Polanski to be extradited and hanged.
Defending Roman Polanski, as “his friends,” is NOT about denigrating the victim ( nope! ) nor is it about supporting child-rape - not even about giving Hollywood a free pass—it is about pointing out that Roman Polanski cannot possibly be given a fair sentence in the current fog of anger, the complicated sexual aftermath of the previous decades, in this puritanical/debauched nation, and resentment directed at the so-called privileged class in America - his can only be a public lynching by people mostly unfamiliar with the particulars of the case. This is a self-serving public hanging, nothing more.

Captures it.  Katha Pollitt has a good article, in the Nation and reposted on Znet, “Roman Polanski and his friends”.  (I often disagree with Ms. Pollitt, but on this she is really good.)
