Well once again Michael Jackson walks. Many will believe it was the money and notoriety that saved his skinny butt from becoming the featured poster boy of the state penitentiary. Still isn't this the beauty of this conuntry's judicial system? That a man can actually be tried, convicted and sentenced in the media as well as the court of public opinion, and yet somehow still come out a free man.
People must remember that this trial was not a trial of MJ's life and the way he has conducted it; this was a trial for specific incidents that obviously were never proved without a shadow of a doubt. And for this ruling we must all celebrate our system rather than castigate it, for it proves-- God forbid, that if any of us were ever falsely accused of a crime where the majority of the public bought into it, that there is still room for justice by a jury of your "peers". I use this term loosely as there really aren't any comparable subjects that are "peers" of MJ.
Still it isn't the fact that MJ has "beaten" this charge that has me as worried as other issues. We all know that something happened, the state just didn't have very credible witnesses or convincing case for that matter. My problem isn't so much with Michael Jackson being a child abuser as it the parents of the many boys who were either paraded through this circus, or had testimony revealing their completely abusive tendancies as parents.
Why is it we are all so quick to convict Michael Jackson for what are undoubtedly heinous crimes if true, when in reality he didn't go patrolling grade school campuses for these children. No instead the PARENTS would bring their little "sacrifices" to this guy...why are we not looking at removing these children from the "care" of these parents who would knowingly put their very own child in harm's way.
You would have to be from an Indian tribe deep in the Amazon to not know something of Mr. Jackson's less than clean past...so these "parents" are the real monsters...they fed Mr. Jackson. Yet through it all, we hear nothing of this...If I brought my child into harm's way and she was injured would we blame the harm or me? Why is it that all of these so-called "parents" are either pimping their kids in return for millions of hush money, or parading them into court rooms to substantiate their miserable conspiracies in an attempt to get rich? Yet we are not outraged and demanding that they stand accountable? This to me is a far more dangerous form of abuse, as these parents represent the actual life example and teacher of these children.
I think it's time that the DA call everyone of these parents and take as close a look at their past motivations as they did to MJ's underwear, magazine subscriptions, and anatomy. Let's see what this type of scrutiny would do to them, their families and their motivations.
I suspect many of these children would be removed from their care, as they cannot really be safeguarding their future if they would drop their children in the belly of a beast and allow them overnight sleeping arrangements with at best a very disturbed man. This is in no way meant to mitigate MJ's actions-- he is obviously an ill man, but the bottom line is, he needed the parents to act as intermediaries in these sordid trysts, unfortunately they were all too willing.........
