The fact is that Michael Jackson was simply exploited by parasitic parents who saw him as a perfect target for their greed. He never molester any child, but had felt comfortable amongst them since he had lost his own childhood. Ironically, it was the same children whom he had trust, that were used to exploit him. While I was a resident of Santa Barbara, I recall Michael’s generosity towards underprivileged children in the community. Many were allowed to visit his ranch and use the facilities during the summer when their families could not afford a visit to Disneyland and other amusement parks. Michael would also buy hundreds of tickets to allow children from local schools and Boys and Girls Club to view the first two performances of the Barnum and Bailey circus yearly at the Earl Warren showground. May God rest his soul.

How can Andrew Young forget or overlook that Whacko Jacko was a child molester?

The same way that Young forgets a lot of things, I guess.

I feel like I lost my 1st love. A love that I had not connected with in years cause of personal differences but I still thought of from time to time & smiled. MJ was that first love that I thought of at every class or family reunion cause his presence was always felt through the music. The opening bass line to “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” was always the party starter. Friends & family would always gather around to discuss how BAD my 1st love use to be before all the madness in his life started. No matter how disturbing the later years were, I will always have fond memories of my 1st love.

Ramblin Rick – who said I was black? If my child had been molested by anyone there is no amount of money that will make me drop charges and not see that person that took my child’s innocence and ruined his life, roit in jail. Frankly, I don’t know anyone else who will. The boy’s parents got exactly what they were after. There was no victim here. I will say it again, it doesn’t matter what color you are you are innocent until proven guilty.

No one has ever proved Michael was with any child in any inappropriate manner, but it was proven that he did not molest the child who brought forth the alligations. You are assume innocent until proven guilty. You can not believe everything you hear.

They did air unflattering comments immediately after Elvis died. They were showing pics of his big ole gut and speaking on his drug abuse. I remember watching it all on the tv’s the had in the drunk-tank. I had just beaten Nicole’s sorry butt for the first time and was taken “down-town.”
