He's such a friggin' joke in this country I can't believe he has any non-Japanese/European defenders or even fans.
I agree and can only speak of them with sarcasm. I didn't think he had many US friends outside of Liza and Liz and a few others. However, as our LA freepers can attest, I was watching FOX west morning show out of LA and they showed and interviewed several vacuous, protesting fans with signs and banners praising him, including one very vacuous mom who apparently kept her preteen children (a boy about 12 and a girl maybe 10 or 11) out of school so the 3 of them could stand by the road in the early morning fog with huge home-made signs and protest his innocence and unfair prosecution. "I'd trust him with my kids," was one of her gems.... Go figure.
Wow, I'm convinced. Such sterling testamonials, how absurd of us to doubt Jacko.
