[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.]
I feel sory for his children. The rest of his family ought to be in jail. When you have a mentally incompetent relative who’s clearly killing himself with drugs and endless plastic surgery and God knows what else, you have a duty to get him help, even if he says he doesn’t want it. Did ONE of them ever petition a court to get him declared a “person in need of supervision” and appoint a legal guardian for him? Nope, that would likely have put an end to his money-making so they wouldn’t do it.
Confirmed by FOXNews now. . .
Jackson may have engaged in such behaviours. I find such activities to be condemnable in every way. That said - If he was guilty, he will be held accountable by G_D.
Not me, not you.
It is unwise to misinterpret Scripture as you have in your post.
A.A.C.
Is Chris Rock the benchmark for accuracy?
"Rest in Peace." Is that for all child molestors, or just the ones who make crappy music?
I wonder if Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix diddled little boys, if they'd made it to 50. Sadly, we'll never know.
He is a 50 year old man who is a known pedophile. I am sure that we can psychoanalyze some of the most dispicable people in history, e.g., Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. and attribute their behavior to whatever childhood or other influences you want.
Jackson is not mentally ill by society's standards. He signs contracts, is not institutionalized, and is responsibile for his actions. He acquired great wealth and fame. His life story does not make him a sympathetic figure to me.
I suspect when he realized he wasn’t going to be able to perform again, that was basically all he was living for, and he just decided to end it all right there.
Walmart has announced a commemerative sale, half off boy’s underwear!
Cap N trade passes tomorrow while everyone is talking about Jackson.
RIP.
Thanks for the great music.
In spite of everything, thanks especially for the ‘Thriller’ album.
And this keeping Cap and Trade vote off the radar screen?
Oh your gonna catch hell for that one. It seems that on FR one can only say ugly things about ugly people before they are dead.
Thriller was all Quincy Jones.
THe guy never ate....I believe that is the root of his problem....
He was staying with some Royal who then kicked him out later on...probably when word of the molestations got out
What a waste of talent. After Thriller, the success changed him and the “FREAK SHOW” began.
I feel worse for Farrah Fawcet’s family, here is a woman that battled cancer very valiantly. And the memory of her passing got overshadowed by "The Freak Show"
Yeah? FWIW when I restarted my dad, I still couldn't find a pulse.
Anyway MJ's dead, verified a few moments ago.
No, pretty much just the musical ones.
