Jackson to Surrender 2pm EST, 11am PST (Live Perp-Walk Not-Breaking News Thread)

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

This is not breaking news. It's just plain old regular news even though it is happening withing 15 minutes.

CNN reports that Jackson will be turning himself in within 30 minutes

[stlnative]

so a child molester deserves all this media attention while we have a war going on? FOX's priorities are disgusting!

[Sir Gawain]

If you were a moderator, you could post satire in Breaking News and it would be ok though.

Its not unusual. It quite often done with warrants as it avoids taking up the police agency's time and a bond is posted pre-aranged right away. The sherrif/police is then not responsible for houseing them until bail is later posted or trial.

Accused molesters do not do well in the general prison population. They are EVENTUALLY segregated. Imagine the bill to fix (?) Jackson's face.

Actually, if you think about, Michael actually DID make some very bad judgements. For starters, he's been listening to the wrong people. Second, his handlers are a bunch of idiotic sychophants who believe it is better that's he is perceived by the public as 'weird'. Third, as Michael Medved basically pointed out to the Rabbi, Jackson has given in to the lusts and desires of his flesh.

yes, it will be all over the news. The media has nothing really intelligent to report from their standpoint. So, let the circus begin. We personally will not be watching any of it. It's trash TV and everyone should be ashamed. There are children involved here who may or may not have been abused but nonetheless all people seem to be interested in is some fading star.

All the reporters will be on scene and the anchors will be talking about it and yada, yada, yada how he's a star and then will try to demean the victim. This is sick, sick, sick and I wonder where the children of the future will get their values.

I hope there are enough moms and dads and single parents out there who will remember right and wrong, morals and nonmorals, decency and faith to teach their children cause if there are not...the world as we know it is lost but then...I suspect a greater power will then take the reins and go from there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Errol Flynn and Charlie Chaplin statutory rape cases took place -- with lots of publicity -- during World War Two.

Can you post a picture under Breaking News??

[Trust but Verify]

Funny girl!

One of the genius commentators on Fox just announced that Jackson's ranch is 2600 square acres. I guess that makes it a large cube?

[Revolting cat!]

Is bestiality (you know, with the rat 'Ben') among the charges?

[1Old Pro]

I guess that makes it a large cube?

I guess they are just counting the air space he controls.

[StriperSniper]

Odds he goes "Egypt Air"?

[al baby]

Moon walk or frog walked?

[cajungirl]

Isn't the "square" part redundant. I am a city girl.

Any minute now.... not breaking..........any minute now.

CNN reporting that Jackson's lead attorney will be Mark Geragos. That's right, Scott Peterson's attorney.

Apologies to all those folks who are sick of the Scott/Laci drama. The two cases are now connected.

[cajungirl]

Prance walk or tippy toe walk is more like it. Or maybe a priss walk.
