Aphistolas Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Ah, shame. Although I think he was socially/mentally misguided, he was an exceedingly talented musician. Here's to MJ: doing the moonwalk in the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulB Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Agreed with Ace 1 less person to worry about around your kids. Now I just wonder if he will ever decompose. I hear plastic takes AGES to degrade. A lot longer than his music did I can assure you that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robotbob Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I had the same reaction on hearing this news, I went W00t about f-cking time. Great example how money will allow you to do anything, and act anyway. A poor person would have gone to jail or have been institutionalized long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MasterZen Report post Posted June 26, 2009 However a lot of sick things was mentioned in the news about MJ, i don't think everything could have been blamed on him. I watched all his interviews around the time he was at trial and he gave me a more mentally ill person view, then a view of a man that was having the real intention of molesting children or anything. Doesn't take away the fact that he indeed did some sick thing with children, just don't think we can blame him, since (besides the fact he never been send to jail), noone forced him into therapy or finding a good psych either. Yes every man has to face the consequences of his own actions, but isnt the worlds justice department responsible of giving people the right help (doesn't matter if it's jail, therapy, psych help, locked institution). I will miss the songwriter/musician MJ and without being a religious man i hope he will find peace in the next life and hope he will be threated better there.

I 99% listen to rock/metal, but jackson is probably 1 of my favorite musicians considering he made great music that made him 'the king of pop'. Besides, he had some insane music videos for being in the 80's. Noone will ever know if he was rly guilty of 'touching' boys, for all we know those kids were lying bastards bc mommy wanted some $...but o well, the man had talent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boognish Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Aside from everybody's personal opinions and fears, the fact is, the man can be considered the most influential performer of our time. There is no doubt about that, I can cite a page of examples. Just because had an abnormal personal life, or put out a string of bad records, it can't take away from that fact.

Vanyel Report post Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Thank you, Michael, for your talent and music. Rest in peace. ---------------- I'm following this thread from the very beginning and I have to say I am disgusted with several of the posted opinions. I wonder what makes some people that much better than Jackson they felt free to judge him regardless of no proof or first-hand information. What kind of creatures are happy over someone's dead body? He was an icon of the popular music he was but a mere and troubled man. Edited June 26, 2009 by Natsume Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulB Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I wonder what makes some people that much better than Jackson they felt free to judge him regardless of no proof or first-hand information. If the harrowing and deeply disturbing allegations in these documents are true, Jackson is a textbook pedophile, a 46-year-old predator who plied children with wine, vodka, tequila, Jim Beam whiskey, and Bacardi rum. A man who gave boys nicknames like Doo Doo Head and Blowhole and then quizzed them about whether they masturbated and if "EDITED FOR CONTENT" came out. A man who conducted drinking games with minors and surfed porn with them on a laptop in his Neverland Ranch bedroom, noting that if anyone asked what they were looking at, the kids should just say they were watching "The Simpsons." A man who frequently talked sex with his little companions and explained that "boys have to masturbate or they go crazy." A man who told one pajama-clad boy that he wanted to show him how to "EDITED FOR CONTENT" When the tipsy child declined the demonstration, Jackson announced, "I'll do it for you," and buried his hand in the boy's Hanes briefs, size small. And a man who emphasized to his little friends that these activities were "their little secret" and should not be disclosed to anyone, even if a gun was at their head. The heart of the Jackson prosecution rests largely on accounts provided to investigators by the teenage boy, his younger brother, older sister, and the children's mother (at the time of the alleged molestation, the victim, who had been diagnosed with a rare cancer in 2000, was 13, his brother was 12, and their sister was 16). In the documents reviewed by TSG, the brothers appear a potent one-two punch of first-hand accounts of alleged Jackson misdeeds. They corroborated many of each other's lurid stories, providing the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and District Attorney Thomas Sneddon with a stereophonic sleaze compendium. Also, as they did during last year's grand jury presentment, prosecutors will display items seized from Jackson's ranch during a November 2003 court-authorized raid. Agents went in searching for pornography, underwear, and any material--photos, correspondence, etc.--further linking Jackson to the alleged victim. They left with more than they could have expected, netting items corroborative of the accounts provided to them by the two boys. I really don't believe that three children would corroborate each others stories as they did in detail without making errors. Even being coaxed their stories would differ in many ways yet they all were saying the same thing. The investigators found lots of evidence against Michael but just like OJ Simpson went to show... If you have money you can buy your way out of anything. Really, don't say they had no evidence because they did. Just like in the OJ case where they had TONS of evidence. Just took high paid lawyers to find the gaps/loopholes to set a rich pervert free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
