I know that someone like Mike could beat the charges even with a great deal of evidence against him, like R Kelly. I’m just wondering what the evidence against him was. I mean, it was always “common knowledge” that the dude was a pedo, but I’m starting to reexamine that. Is there anyone here who is familiar with the case against him?
If 15 million is pocket change for the guy, just making them go away and leave him alone may have been worthwhile. It’s not necessarily an admission of guilt.
None. Micheal Jackson (probably) had a stressful life, and got screwed over by adults for most of his life. He may have only felt safe (because of their percieved “innocence”) around children. [The “jesus juice” gives me pause, however.]
Disclaimer: Don’t know the guy (Jackson). Just idly engaging in some devil’s advocate stuff this morning.
I don’t wear pajamas. I bet that gets you all fired up.
If he is a pederast, he got away with it. I always felt sorry for him. He was the wrong person to get rich and famous.
He deserves a lot of the public disdain because he did so many stupid things. If appearance means anything, he was profoundly ignorant of their impact. Hanging his kid over a rail. Wearing masks and veils in public. Having his kids wear weird clothes . His strange operations that he denied. No one thing damns him but the accumulated crap he did makes anyone wonder. It adds up to a sick ans strange man . Now I feel for his kids. That bubble he lived in can not be very nuturing. They probably need a lot of help now.
In a surprising twist, Hitler is the one who gets to pretend to be gay!
I think the point being made is that he was never accused of abusing any young females; therefore homosexual pedophile as opposed to heterosexual pedophile.
That’s why I said “I hope” instead of “I expect.”
It might take 2-3 generations. But I hope the Overrated One passes into historical memory as soon as possible.
And I still can’t stand his music.
Wow, god didn’t just stop at killing kittens for you, did he?
But I understand - every time I have a kid, a grandparent dies. I had my tubes tied out of respect for the remaining live ones.
Zactly. What do you mean, “What makes him gay?” Oh, other than the boy-fucking, nothing.
I have to admit, I never thought that he screwed kids.
I was never a big fan, but everything that I read about his personal life seemed to indicate that his childhood fucked him up, and he tried to live as a child when he had the money.
What did you think about the trials and payoffs? That may not qualify as complete proof, but when they start accumulating, you begin to have doubts.
Plus he called his kid “Blanket”. That has to break some law someplace.
No, no I’m not. why do you ask?

I attribute this weird behaviour to having all those surgeries and covering up while his face was healing from them.
Wow! So you go to court in the nude? That’ll fire up the judge, fer sure.
Did you notice a loud WHOOSH recently?

…et al.
I’m a bit surprised that, on a message board where you’re liable to be asked for a cite if you claim 1+1=2, there are so many posters on this badwagon after the evidence presented against him was so exceedingly weak.
Even though this is a pit thread, there’s still a banner that says “fighting ignorance” at the top of the page.
I suppose you also think OJ was innocent…
You don’t pay 20 million bucks to a kid you didn’t fuck.
Again, if the best evidence is that he paid them, then I don’t think it’s fair to call the man a pedophile.
And there is no way that you could believe that the OJ case was equivalent…
And they get Hoffa for the Friday night game of bridge.
That payment was a de facto admission of guilt, and while it was the best evidence, it was far from the only evidence.
