The media circus that has surrounded MJ and continues to surround his 'memorial' is just hideous. Almost everyone in the media, if they even mention it, says 'He was aquitted'. Yes, he was but before that he paid off one of his victims to the tune of (est)$20M. I think that when you're as rich as MJ and that far off the rails, his money bought him his freedom and smothered any other cries from what I'm sure are his other victims.
I feel nothing for him but I can only hope that his victims now have the courage to come forth and tell the truth.

Well done brother! What some of the people were responding with pissed me off. But what are you gonna do? The truth is to difficult for them to accept.

sans logos,
YES!!! That's just great...there has been a resounding silence on that issue I have felt. I remember watching that first multi part interview with him talking about how the sweetest thing you can do is share your bed with someone...words have always failed me on that one. Not to mention those parents who thought it would be just fine for their boys to spend the night in his bedroom. They should have all been led away to the slammer immediately in my opinion. I don't remember who said something about President Obama's response, but I just felt like adding that I too was struck by the careful and deliberate choice of words. I'm sure I was imagining it, but I almost felt a more than purely empathic understanding of the situation.

I too am astounded by the media worship of Jackson and the glossing over of the molestation charges. No doubt there are other victims out there who have not come forward. I hope they will.
