If it were in their power, and had they the guts to act, they would surely have sought to roust Jackson from his bed and hang him for perceived guilt, if only to satisfy their thirst for blood.

I think he was very talented, especially as a performer, but when considering the value of a person’s life, you have to look at the totality of their actions and behaviors. MJ became very, very weird starting nearly 15 years ago when he was in his mid 30’s. The baby dangling, the weird marriages and their arrangements, the complaints from minor children and their parents, the childlike home and persona, the plastic surgery, and so on all point to somebody not playing with a full deck. I don’t know if he actually was a pervert or not, but I definitely think there was something to those complaints well beyond just financial shakedowns. I also don’t think that his contribution to pop culture has been all positive, either.
