Um Michael Jackson - You want a sensible non-biased opinion?
B4 I saw the 'Wacko-Jacko-Docco' as the press say
-------------------------------------------------
I thought that Michael Jackson paying off the family of that boy to strop them taking him to court was either 1) An admition of guilt or 2) A pretty damned stupid thing to do. Basically some1 with that much dexterity, musical and lyrical skill cannot be stupid, therefore I labelled him as a paedophile
After I saw the Documentary
---------------------------
Well, Jackson came accross to be a very sad case of some1 in extreme denial, stuck in childhood. Many comments he made lead me to believe he was actually quite likely to be a virgin, who had his children all artificially inseminated. The fact that he has children over to stay and have sleep overs would be perfectly normal for a 12 year old boy - and he seems mentally stuck around that age. This is quite common for anyone deprived of a childhood, especially if they themselves were abused. This lead me to the conclusion that he probably didn't abuse that boy, but was too distressed by the issue to go to court. This doesn't get Jackson completely off the hook however, still having children to stay in his bedroom is really really strange at his age, and he should expect the controversy. Either way he is obviously seriously mentally ill and needs either A: SERIOUS councelling or B: To be confined to living by himself or just with responsible adults.
Just my 2 cents. I don't know the guy, I'm not a massive fan of his recent music, but he certainly had something in the 80s. I'm not gonna comment definitively as to whether he is a paedophile or not, the press want him to be even if he isn't, I don't think it would be fair for me to pass judgement without proof.
However as far as the guy I knew who was involved in such things, I did have proof, and I hope he gets the punishment, or help that he deserves.
