Michael Jackson in the Hospital

[kcvl]

The judge has given Michael Jackson one hour to get to court or he will be arrested per Fox News!

[melancholy]

>>Sorry. I'd far rather advocate compassion and Christianity for the poor young boys whose lives have been ruined than for the pedophile who is a monster, imo.<

Peach, very well put, thank you.

Bonnie, I wasn't attacking you, I just stated my opinion. Why NOT innocent until proven guilty? Because the innocent Jacko paid $25 million in '93. He WAS already guilty and can't let him go this time. Pedofiles DON'T change.

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat 18:6

If we're going to call for compassion for Jackson in the name of WWJD, the Bible is very clear on this point. I don't see where God exhibits compassion for child molestors.

Mine too, took someone to help me move. Repeated trips to the doc for realignment and many soma muscle relaxers to keep the muscles from poping it out after the doc had put it in place

I was pregnant at the time and the docs wouldn't give me anything to help the pain

The pain was horrible

As another Freeper mentioned .. if his back was that bad where he had to be rushed to the hospital

They would have had a wheel chair waiting for him and he wouldn't have walked in

Please, see that Jackson gets these,
with my compliments:

Mkes one wonder if this was not set up from the beginning. Of course I have a suspicious mind!! LOL

On Fox, the announcers reminded us that some of the big mafia dons in NYC had to come to the courtroom in stretchers or guerneys. Whether they had been feigning illness to avoid trial I don't know.

[somerville]

I believe he is 46, nearly 47.

[Howlin]

They are in the courtroom, evidently continuing with the trial; the judge said Jackson was late because of back pain and that he'd do the same for them.

As soon as I hear more, I'll post it.

[PISANO]

Cut slack.......AGAIN!! This is the 2nd time he has been late BEFORE this Judge and he was warned by this Judge that he would NOT tolerate any more late arrivals.

This means either the Judge, like Ito, is celebrity struck OR MJ had a legitimate medical problem.

However, even with a legitimate medical problem...WHY WASN'T the JUDGE NOTIFIED? He wasn't...... otherwise he would not have issued a warrant nor threatened him with forfeiture of bail!!!

So, IMO the JUDGE caved.

Howard Deane got out of going to Vietnam by claiming a bad back....then went skiing at Vail.

[daybreakcoming]

I have had two ruptured disc in my life and there was no pain killer that would have allowed me to turn and wave...not even taking more than the allowed dose of percoset.

[Howlin]

Okay, what is that?

[retrokitten]

Yes! Did you ever see "Goodfellas"? At the trial all the dons come in and have oxygen tanks, tracs, wheel chairs, private nurse, etc.

[King Prout]

I don't remember too clearly - I was laughing too hard at the time.

Matthew 18:6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

[Howlin]

Pedofiles DON'T change.

No, they don't; ever. And if he manages to get off, he WILL do it again.

[retrokitten]

LOL!!

[CitizenM]

Yep, that was me. No wheelchair..No serious back problem. He is walking like he did because they gave him medication while they were doing x-rays etc. (probably).

OF COURSE...he could have drugged himself, fallen in a stupor...and hurt his back, but not seriously enough to require hospitalization. And that may be why he is looking "drugged" Maybe a large dose of something??? Maybe he attempted something???

[najida]

he's gonna overdose, but one thing about Jacko, he's not the frail little woman he wants people to think he is. He's very smart, like a fox

I remember on another forum a photographer talking watching hiim during a court deposition (I think it had to do with record royalties or something).

She commented that he was doing his drama queen act but the lawyer kept pushing. Then all of a sudden it was like BOOM! The mask fell away and the real man came out...and he was extremely cold, hard and vicious.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The people describing how bad IT looks getting out of the limo have never had a back problem!
