He was a sick, sick, sick puppy and has been a dead man walking for a long time. He should have been shot on sight the moment he came within 500 feet of a child or dog.
That being said, if he had life to do over again I would not be opposed to letting the poor bastard have a normal childhood.
------------------------------------ Spending Our Way to Prosperity
I was never a Jackson fan but Michael Jackson was one of the most talented performers of all time. However, he was also one of the strangest, saddest, and most tragic. Despite all of his millions of dollars and millions of fans I get the feeling that he was never happy. If he had been anyone else but a talented, rich celebrity he would have been locked up a long time ago. His life and ending were both tragic.
Going by the non-stop TV coverage of weepy girls and clips from the past, you would think the most important figure in history had died.
One airhead "journalist" was going on about how this was the most important death in recent history, with the exception of maybe JFK. At that point I turned the TV off and tried to keep my lunch down.
The same journalists at one time tore the guy up and down over his ranch and his little boyfriend. I didn't hear anything about the payoffs to the kid's dad to keep him quiet. Funny, just clips of moonwalking and how Michael "invented" it, and so on. My God, that is important stuff and the assassination of JFK does indeed pale when you think about it.
Another example of why we are so totally screwed in the country and how far down the drain we progress each day.
I heard on the news that he depleted most of his assets, and that he has next to nothing to pass along to his 3 children.
You gotta figure the mother of a couple of his kids, Debbie the hairdresser or whatever, must be a real cream puff if a complete wacko like Jackon who was constantly in trouble over child abuse allegations has custody rather than her.
Holy Shoot. I saw a picture of Jackson with his kids. He was dressed up like a cross between the doorman at the Four Seasons and Morimar Ghadafi. He had so many medals on his chest you would think he had won the Pilsbury bake-off or something. On top of the outfit, he had on a mask and the kids had veils with masks underneath.
I am just a simple country boy. I can value differences but rule number one is: don't scare the frigging horses. Keep in mind that the court chose him as being more fit than the mother. I dont even want to think about what she must be into.
He owns half the Beatles catalogue, he has plenty to leave his children. The man was renting a house at $100,000.00 per month. Anyway, he was the living definition of dichotomy; extreme genius and total insanity. I loved his music personally, a real loss.
All these people that call him a child molester needs to stop. At the end of the day he was ACQUITTED. Is everything people say about you true. He was charged he went to court and said plead not guilty. The story was told from both sides and he won. What else can the man do? Think if you were charged with something you didn't do yet everyone and their mother had an opinion about even though they weren't there or know anybody that was. I think its unfair and dumb that people bring that up/
Secondly wearing different clothes and creating a theme park is not a good definition of insanity.

OJ was acquitted too. Please note that OJ decapitated his ex wife and butchered her boyfriend.

Perhaps, but high expenses do not mean that one has assets. It may just mean they are spending it like they got it and they dont got it. A lesson for the country as well.
It is amazing though how people like Jackson and Ed McMahon end out broke and in foreclosure. You would think that somewhere along the way they would have tucked away enough money for a condo in Simi Valley and could just chill out a little and re-group. Not so I guess.

I think one of the oddest things is that Ed McMahon was trying to sell his house, but Britney Spears and all her paparazzi were living so close that it was freaking out the potential buyers. Nuisance, anyone? Yikes. You would think that with all that money, you could buy a bit of peace of mind.

It is the same with a lot of athletes. You get into certain spending habits, you acquire an entourage of hangers on leaching off of you and when you career slows or ends, you do not want to change your lifestyle.
I am just pissed because last night they were going to show an Iron Maiden Concert on VH1 Classic, but instead they were showing Michael Jackson Videos.
Barack Obama stands a chance to take half of Michael Jackson’s Estate
Did Michael Jackson have a will? If not the heirs to the estate stand to lose half if proper estate planning was not done well in advance with an estate this large. If there was no estate plan in place, then the federal estate taxes will likely be imposed on the Jackson estate by virtue of the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Shortly after his passing, John Wayne’s heirs lost his 47,000 acre Arizona ranch because the wealthy actor had failed to do any business continuation planning whatsoever.It could have easily have been taken care of with life insurance.

OJ lost a huge lawsuit in regards to that case. The Catholic Church has paid out billions for child molesting.
Jackson settled one case. If he was a child molestor my guess is he'd have lawyers circling his house waiting for their payday. He does not.
No doubt one of the oddest people on the planet. Horrific childhood, becoming a living icon during adolecence, both factors must have been extremely difficult to deal with.

You would think that someone who had settled a lawsuit previously for sexual abuse would consider themselves sufficiently on notice such that they would not end out in court explaining why they had little boys spending the night in bed with him. That is not how the pervy mind works though, and a pervy he was. He made good music, and OJ played a good game of football.

Ummm didn't Michael settle out of court on these charges? AKA let me give you money and you drop the charges, and we'll call it square.
Was watching CNN last night and they show this interview with jackson's scumbag father. Part way into the interview the scumbag starts promoting his new recording company right will the interview is trying to ask him about funeral arrangements, etc. Wow, he should be shot for being the moneygrubbing, exploitive user that he has always been.
See the section that starts about 3 minutes into this and tell me that isnt class with a capital K!
I support the sheeple and the masses soaking up all of the Jackson worship and tears on TV. In my eyes, they will be so distracted by the moonwalk/Thriller being replayed 10 times a day on every station that they'll totally forget about being glued to the anti-Wall Street talk shows, making my job as a financial advisor easier.
The media wins, the people win, we win. What's not to love?
Annie are you okay, are you okay, are you okay Annie....you've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooooooth criminal, POW!

That happens all the time in thousands of court cases each year. Sometimes people just want things to go away whether they are guilty or not. People who are not guilty plead guilty so they don't risk going to jail for something they didn't do. Look at Donte Stallworth or KobeBryant and contrast that wth someone that took their to trial like Robert Blake. The longer these thing are in the news the worse it gets. Its a strategey. All I'll say is if Mike did molest some kid and they took money rather than see justice the parents are the real sickos.
Michael Jackson Dead?
