Reaction | 3:37 Television news images showed large crowds gathering outside the UCLA Medical Center. “People are already showing up in costume, believe it or not,” said a Fox News correspondent, Trace Gallagher, comparing it to the circus he witnessed during a trial involving Mr. Jackson.

How very sad. Sad that so many people will overlook obvious facts simply because they like his music. I will shed no tears over the passing of a monster.

That's what I'd usually say too, Alex. But I read the interviews with the jurors... Yeah, they couldn't be sure beyond a reasonable doubt that he molested THAT particular boy... But read the rest of what they had to say. Even the pervert himself admitted he slept with the children & went to the bathroom with them.

As a society we should protect and cherish our children. Just because a predator is rich & popular doesn't mean we should accept his molesting under-privileged children.

As a father on percocet, this subject pisses me off beyond reason, so i won't post again.

Alex, I know that you simply believe that the justice system dispensed justice, as it should. Don't think for an instant that I hold this against you. I'm just really screwed up on painkillers... Very Happy

just as a general comment, I'd say that the justice system here (as in many countries) are created by and for middleaged men, where women, children animals or minorities aren't as protected IMO.

Btw, here is the REAL reason why he died Wink

kinda pathertic
that a dude was raised to be a pop icon
by what would seem to be crazy parents
held up in high praise
got to the top of weird
which is what we wanted as a society?

no jack 5 or thiller for me

my kids played his music quite a bit
and it was much less objectionable than the stuff they played later Confused

Kids at NeverNever Land aren't going to know when it is time for bed now, because the Big Hand can't touch the Little Hand anymore--thank god.

That being said. . . both victims and perpetrator can now R.I.P.
