Michael Jackson's Death Homicide

AP reports that Michael Jackson's death has been ruled a homicide. Seems more like an assisted suicide to me.

Pelosi says forever ends now - nixes resolution honoring Michael Jackson

At Michael Jackson's memorial service in Los Angeles, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tx) held up a framed copy of her House Resolution, emossed with a gold seal, saying that it would honor Michael Jackson 'forever, and forever, and forever'.
Forever was cut short by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who decided that the resolution will not get consideration in the House.
"If the idea is to praise the life and work ... then why not do that [in some other way]?" Pelosi said. "A resolution, I think, would open up to contrary views that are not necessary at this time to be expressed in association with the resolution, whose purpose is quite different."
Pelosi has enough fights on her hands without this one. Love her or hate her, you have to admit that she is an astute politician.
Maybe next time Lee will check with the home office before she puts herself in an untenable position.

Michael Jackson fans commit suicide: Jesse Jackson speaks out

TOS'd by The Times

Apparently I made a mistake in commenting on the 'praise Michael Jackson' article in The Times.
In replying to this:
Never again will there be an entertainer that will come close to Michael's talent or genius. May he now be experiencing the peace that he never seem to find on earth
and this:
Even though i was not a huge fan I did like his music and i do agree that the world has lost a really big icon....It is really hard to beileve that he passed away so suddenly...May he R.I.P
I replied with this:
Yep, never mind that he was a pedophile who hurt little children and robbed them of their innocence. He made some cool music so that makes it all right. I think I'll be sick.
My comment was removed for violating Terms of Service.
Now these comments stayed up:

i would be ashamed to admit or defend this sick dog. they should have castrated him and hung him from the nearest telephone pole. what gets me is that all the black people talk about how much they miss him and loved him...the cold hard truth is he was ashamed of being black. first look at his kids. he was astranged from his weirdo family. look how he tried to bleach himself white. it wouldnt suprise me if the king of fitness mayor cedric glover and nutcase sharpton dont get together and try to name a street or park after the child molester int he cedar grove area.

Yes, let's read between the lines. Obviously your father touched you as a child. Used to call it "pop goes the weasel." You were then passed around in the trailer to all your kin. Hearing the name Michael Jackson brought back painful memories for you. You go by the name "removed" because you are trying to convince yourself that you are not gay. Accept it, come on out the closet. Then die and burn.


I was wondering why my comment was so much more offensive. I decided to read the Terms of Service to see what rule I had broken.

The page could not be found (404).

Well, maybe they make them up as they go.
Then I realized that I was technically incorrect in my comment. I called Jackson a pedophile. The strict definition of pedophile is:
. .a psychosexual disorder in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with prepubertal children . .
Well, there you go. Apparently Jackson liked his kids (or some of them) at the age of puberty. Otherwise, how could "defendant Michael Jackson eating the semen of plaintiff" apply?
I apologize for using the term pedophile. Perhaps 'child molester' would have been more appropriate.

Don't let the oral copulation with a minor stop your adoration - let's go to the Boardwalk and honor him!

The picture at left is a grief-stricken fan of Michael Jackson who is dancing to his music in her tribute to him.
Tomorrow night you can do the same!
The Times says that “A tribute and candlelight vigil in honor of pop icon Michael Jackson will be at 8 p.m. Saturday underneath the Texas Sreet Bridge near Salt Grass Steakhouse at Louisiana Boardwalk in Bossier City.
“He touched millions across the world with his music… And I just wanted to do something that would spark unity because that’s what he was all about,” said event coordinator James “Eskuire” Haggard, who organized the event.”

He did touch some people
In the 90’s, Jackson was sued on behalf of a 13 year old boy whom he had ‘touched’ – but not with his music.
"Defendant Michael Jackson, with the intent to cause a harmful or offensive contact with an intimate part of plaintiff, repeatedly committed sexual battery upon plaintiff by having sexually offensive contacts with the plaintiff. These sexually offensive contacts include but are not limited to defendant Michael Jackson orally copulating plaintiff, defendant Michael Jackson masturbating plaintiff, defendant Michael Jackson eating the semen of plaintiff, and defendant Michael Jackson having plaintiff fondle and manipulate the breasts and nipples of defendant Michael Jackson while defendant Michael Jackson would masturbate.

Jackson settled the suit for over $15,000,000. The statement by the victim stated that Jackson named several other youngsters with whom he had sexual contact.

Don't let all the diddling little boys and eating their semen stop you from getting on your feelgood tribute to the 'king of pop'.
Beat it down to the boardwalk for a ‘tribute and candlelight vigil’ to honor him.

Sorry, no gushy words for Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson, pop star/child molester is dead at age 50. Sorry I don't have any gushy words. The 24 hour media is winding up for a bonanza of grieving fans and mounds of flowers.
Channel 12 announced that they will have more about Jackson's 'life and legacy' at 10.
Jackson settled a lawsuit for $15,000,000 back in the 90's in a molestation case.
In 2003 he faced four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor, one count of abduction, and one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive. He was found not guilty, mainly because the jury realized that the mother had set the child up for the abuse so she could go for a big settlement. That did not expulcate his guilt, but it did disgust the jury to such an extent that they felt more contempt for the mom than for Jackson.
If you want to celebrate his big heart and his great art, go somewhere else.
