Jackson Verdict Reached

[anitram]

So before this case... why did people dislike her?!! It seems pretty harsh to put it mildly. That said, I shall go look up some info before I comment any more on it. Just asking.

Because she dissolves in histrionics on TV, screaming in that shrill voice of hers, rolling her eyes, barking at anyone and everyone, uninterested in any "facts" aside from the ones she has deemed to agree with. She personifies all that is wrong with the 24/7 news channel and frankly, you need to see her in all her glory to truly understand who she is.

on behalf of mankind, get a hobby..

The scariest thing about this pic is that this idiot appears to be wearing a One bracelet...

 

[sallycinnamon78]

....and i promised u the child molestors are rejoicing thru out the world.
that's all.
peace,db9 [/B]

Diamond, I mean no disrespect... but that comment sounds like hysterical nonsense to my ears. I am speaking as someone who generally gets highly upset and disturbed by injustice, particularly with that sort of crime. I am well known for being more passionate than rational on this subject.. but sometimes this place is beyond even me.

Your comment was just... unnecessary.

Well, this is why I asked, see.

And...?

Sounds like you're elevating those who care about the ONE campaign to unrealistic levels of intelligence, by relegating Michael Jackson supporters to lower intelligence. All of which is ironic, considering what you've just said?

I do like the guy with the MIchael Jackson number plate in the background though

 

[sallycinnamon78]

double post

 

[Angela Harlem]

I didn't mean to sound so bitchy. But it irks me when people do this kind of thing. It isn't even him wearing the bracelet.

 

[Angela Harlem]

*the guy with the sign I mean.

I'm leaving now lol.

If it walks like a duck, has feathers like a duck, a bill like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

In any case, shouldn't the courts be recommending psychiatric treatment for the man because his relationship with children is not normal regardless of the verdict.

You know, why have a trial next time someone's accused? Let's just take him out back and shoot him. Or "lethal inject" him for the modern crowd.

I thought about this too trevster2k. This man has a problem that needs to be treated for.

She just held up what looked like a big chicken sandwich and took a bite.


She said ' Well, I guess I get to eat some crow sandwich now."

Then it cut to various clips of MJ walking out of court to "Beatiful Day" song.

No, my concern is if someone is into the sensationalism of the Michael Jackson trial that much, they are probably only wearing the One bracelet for sensationalism purposes as well and could care less about its true intent.

Of course, I could be wrong...

 

[corianderstem]

Well, I don't think it's a ONE wristband - I think it's just a watch.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

I'm glad Jackson got acquitted. He is a deeply troubled indiviual who needs help badly.

 

[U2_Muse]

He is a deeply troubled indiviual who needs help badly.

Yes, but you have to wonder there is anyone around him who will tell him that. I get the impression that people tell him what he wants to hear. Hopefully, that will change, because it's certainly not like he'll recognize it on his own. A part of me wonders if he'll see the acquittal as proof that his behaviour was perfectly normal and okay.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

No. From what I gather from MJ is that he has become a megalomaniac of sorts. He has a huge ego. He is too proud to admit to himself that he needs help. That's why he needs help so badly.

Sally I mean you no disrespect either.

The man is calculating and saw a family that was more or less damaged goods..(based on their past endeavors).

He took them in knowing that he could prey on them as they had a lousy reputation, the kid didn't have a father role model and he knew that nobody would believe them if he they ever accused him.

For Michael Jackson to sing songs about masturbation and then invite prepubiescent boys to bed with him..It doesnt take rocket science to figure where Michael Jackson was headed.

Futhurmore w/the "it's only pure innocent love" comments made by Mr Jackson it sounds like a page ripped out of the NAMBLA handbook of cover excuses.

For you to say that Michael Jackson did nothing unseemly or immoral w/this kid is the same as me saying Al Capone never murdered anybody, because Al Capone was never convicted of murder.

It's that simple.
Michael is an unconvicted pepophile.

That's all.

[corianderstem]

I'd like to see parents go on trial for letting their kids stay with him.

Would YOU let your child stay with a 40-year old stranger? Just because he's famous? Seriously - what the hell is wrong with these people?

Michael is an unconvicted pepophile.

No kidding. One of my friends on LiveJournal pasted a description/signs of pedophilia, and from looking at that, and looking at Michael Jackson, you'd have to be blind not to make a connection.

That being said, seeing footage of him as a child/teen on TV makes me feel sad for him. Imagine what must have been done to him (be it physically or mentally) to help make him the man he is today.

Finally, I feel awful for Michael Jackson's children. Those poor kids never stood a freaking chance.

Cool, I misunderstood. Sorry again for sounding so narky.

 

[Aardvark747]

Justice has been done...

 

[phanan]

No worries.

 

[U2mixer]

What if Bono liked to sleep with young boys?

It would never happen because he is normal.

Jacko is a weirdo - period.

Any man that likes to sleep with little boys is either a pedo or a weirdo.

Jacko fans are weird too - get a life you lot!

NEWSFLASH#
Larry Mellen Jnr (name changed to save lawsuit) caught drinking alcohol and looking at porn with a small boy before jumping into bed with him.

Enough said.

 

[Irishteen]

He is innocent until proven guilty and wasn't proven guolty so must be innocent.

 

[80sU2isBest]

Sorry, no need to be offended or get all riled up over it. It was a general statement, like I said that's the way it feels sometimes in FYM..you are judged on the minutest little detail or statement that you make. Or someone interprets intentions in some silly thread you make that aren't even there.

I'm going to try to stay away from this forum again. It's really no fun anymore and it's just too stressful

I know the feeling - This place gets brutal sometimes. I've left twice now...the second time, I stayed away for around a year and a half, I think.

You will be sorely missed. You are one of the most respectful people in these forums, even to people with whom you don't agree.

Personally, you've meant a good deal to me on these forums. You've defended me quite a bit, whcih is something very rare indeed, and I appreciate it.

 

[bsp77]

Why are so many people shocked about the verdict? Do any of you have a clue how the judicial system works? While I think MJ probably did it, there really wasn't the evidence to back it up. If they had found him guilty, that would mean that they based their decision based on their own prejudices instead of doing their jobs and that would have been wrong. The prosecution simply needed a better case.

However, I wound have expected them to get him on the lesser alcohol charge, they had witnesses for that.

 

[U2@NYC]

I guess that the U.S. has two legal systems, one for common people and another one for celebrities.

 

[Nube Gris]

what a fucking joke, what a circus
So if he is not guilty, the acussers should be jailed for liers right?

If not what is this fucking system about?

 

[verte76]

No. From what I gather from MJ is that he has become a megalomaniac of sorts. He has a huge ego. He is too proud to admit to himself that he needs help. That's why he needs help so badly.

You're quite right. Megalomaniacs can't admit that they need help. Egos get in the way of reason, of facts, everything. It's a fd up situation.

 

[bsp77]

It is very simple. The burden of proof falls on the prosecution. Where was the proof?
