    Throw up the link that confirms that the 2 people who wrote the book are infact 2 convicted sex offenders.

    Take your time, we have waited this long. Bit longer won't hurt.

    Why would people associate themselves with a religion & clergy who raped, assaulted and abused them? They do. Its not uncommon.
    And it doesn't mean they're lying about what happened to them.

    Because the individual did it not the religion.

    Flaming is when someone attacks the poster because they can't back up their argument.

    Are you familiar with irony?

    I know it's nothing new for his daughter Paris Jackson but my word her quotes on the matter are bizarre.

    First said nothing she can say that hasn't been said in his defence and then some odd quotes like:
    "Taj is doing a perfect job, (her cousin, when asked about her views of the documentary), I support him but that's not my role.
    I'm just tryna get everyone to chill out and go with the flow, be mellow and think about the bigger picture. That's me."

    Paris, who is the second of Michael Jackson's three children, had previously told fans to "chillax", "calm down" and "smoke some weed" instead of getting upset over the allegations.

    She told one person on Twitter: "Do you really think that it's possible to tear his name down? Do you truly believe they stand a chance?"

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47582054

    Am I the only one who finds that crazy? Not saying her reaction hints towards whether he's guilty or innocent but if my father was being accused of those things, with a documentary interviewing people I used to know, I certainly wouldn't be like "chillax guys and smoke some weed" or "not my role to support him".

    Baffling reaction.

    I suppose she's lived a different life to the rest of us.

    The whole setup with Jackson and her mother from the get go seems a bit odd anyway, in my opinion. It sounds from the couple of relationships I've read about he seems more into heterosexual pornography than the act itself.

    I don't know what to make of it and have different thoughts about it. My guess is that she's taking the most tactful way out of this in order to avoid drawing attention to herself. If you look at her life story, there is a lot of weirdness there. Not all of it shows Jackson in a positive light either, in my opinion.

    For starters, it would appear that her mother's marriage to Jackson was one of convenience and happened so he could have children of his own. If Mark Lester is to be believed, he's her biological father and not Jackson himself. Jackson told Martin Bashir that as soon as she was born, he snatched her and brought her straight home from the hospital. Before they even had a chance to clean her up. She doesn't appear to have had any relationship with her mother for many years. If all of that isn't fecked up sh*t in its own right, I don't know what is.

    I mean they didn't have any other evidence.

    But sure Round and Round.

    I am not 100% of the process but I have been reading of record and testimony sealing in some US States. It happens a lot in court cases involving minors. Could be an explanation where they know a witness statement exists but cannot introduce it. This is a theory and have nothing to back it up but might what happened here.

    I've read that he did that to get access to the money rather than his parents being in control of it until he came of age. And also that he cut contact with his mother because he blamed her for what happened. The abuse that is, not her "forcing him to lie". The story posted earlier about him recanting everything is false. He has never spoken a word about it and legally was/is not able to.

    Why isn't he able to? Wasn't his mother at the trial in 2005?

    Is it ture that the mother never had sex with Michael? Surely not? Some stupid site I'm reading no doubt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,168 ✭✭✭Ursus Horribilis


    Who knows?

    If Mark Lester is to be believed, his little swimmers may have begat some of Jacko's kids. Of course, because he's Jackson's friend and still defends him, he can't be a liar. Can he?

    This video- Why Michael Jackson won-an excellent documentary explaining both the defence and prosecution approach to the 2005 trial.
    With interviews from some of the jurors it gives an insightful analysis of what happened and why.

    What I took from it is that if the Mother of the accused hadn't testified (apparently she acted "paranoid" throughout the trial cross examination) it was very likely that Jackson would have been convicted.

    While the defence did break down the alleged victim on the stand, they showed the police interviews with him towards the end of the trial and that seemed to have struck a major chord with the jury- though not enough obviously to convict given the other testimony throughout but especially that of the mother of the alleged victim.

    An interesting observation made in the documentary- "we all wanted the Hardy Boys to the there on the stand testifying against Jackson- " but that wasn't the reality.




    I also went back to the Martin Bashir documentary- Living with Michael Jackson-
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqqipytDeuM

    Just skip to 14 minutes, 21 seconds- the "painting"- it's just so creepy and very disturbing. And there were a lot of such paintings in the house. Imagine being a child in that house, surrounded by such paintings.

    Jackson had a canny ability on staying on the legal side of things but went right up to the fine line- but that painting alone for me provides huge insight as to how that man thought- and it's very disturbing.

    Well, one of the jurors openly stated that she took against the accuser’s mother so there does seem to be something in that.

    Well, one of the jurors openly stated that she took against the accuser’s mother so there does seem to be something in that.

    In the documentary "Why Michael Jackson won"- they interview a journalist who ran a story for the mother when her child was ill with cancer, in order to raise funds.
    The mother called her a few weeks later saying could she do another story as not enough funds were raised. The journalist, becoming somewhat suspicious, delved into the mothers finances a little further and discovered she was fully insured medically for the son's condition and that she wasn't in financial difficulty.

    It destroyed her emotionally to think that a mother would use her son's illness as a way to make money.

    So we know that the wider family of the alleged victim wasn't to be trusted- but it does resonate with me that the child, when interviewed by the police, wasn't being a money grabber, wasn't being underhanded, he was just answering questions put to him by the police- and this did resonate with the jury, but with all of the other testimony and the fact that the defence "broke" the witness when on the stand, they couldn't convict.

    For some reason I can't post a Youtube link but if you check out the newsclip of "Michael Jackson buying ring" it shows Safechuck's story is very likely to be true.

    It’s very persuasive indeed. Sadly you can’t make out the child’s face in the CCTV clip so despite it happening in Safechuck’s hometown during the time he was hanging around with Jackson and depicts something very similar to what he describes, Jackson supporters will dismiss it easily enough. :(

    I think at this point, with Jackson long gone, all that’s left is for people to draw their own conclusions about what they believe. Thankfully the thought police don’t exist!


  • Registered Users Posts: 779 ✭✭✭Fifty grades of shay.


    Jackson was obviously a creep and his activities covered up with aid from others.
    It's these that should be pursued now, including any he paid off without them making their issues known to authorities.
    A musical genius?....... Perhaps, but a creep, definitely imo.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,017 ✭✭✭SharpshooterTom


    So just to change the conversation a bit, do we actually think Jacksons music will be completely banned?

    I've given my opinion in that I think because his music legacy is so powerful he wont suffer the same fate like R Kelly or Gary Glitter, at least not completely, but I could be wrong.

    A number of radio stations have stopped playing him since the documentary, I think that's obvious, I haven't seen him on any music channels either. But I'm not sure how long that will last long term as his music is timeless and transcends across multiple generations, will be interesting to see where this stands in 5+ years time.

    Autism doesn't make adults behave like children. Nor does it give them an inclination to have little boys over for sleepovers all the time.

    I'd say in a year or so it could be played by a station without any real backlash. But it'll always be somewhat tainted by his scandals to some degree so it won't be heard all that often.

    It won't be banned. I've heard his songs on the radio loads of times since the doc came out. I don't particularly like it and always change the channel but some people enjoy his music and that's fair enough, they can choose to listen.

    Also, that one Gary glitter song is regularly played here (US) at sporting events. Not many here seem to even be aware of his crimes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,168 ✭✭✭Ursus Horribilis


    I read one journalist likening it to removing the stripes from a mint humbug. I think his music will still be played. By the time Gary Glitter was convicted, he was long past his prime and not really being played on the radio anyway. During his life, Michael Jackson was never convicted of anything. All people can do now is make their own judgement on what they think he did or didn't do to his child companions. It's unlikely to be proved one way or the other.

    either michael was pedo or not, not right to make his family make to suffer for bad things he did and put this on tv, punish them , the family shouldn't have suffer for this , there has enough damage be done to his family, They should've take this to court regardless the answer

    Like any criminal, Jackson should have thought of his family before he committed his transgressions.

    You could create a dummy Facebook account? If you felt you had comments to make that would aid the discussion. Be upfront about posting from an anonymous FB account and your reasons for doing so.

    Thank you for sharing here. And I agree that part where Wade describes telling his family at the food trucks was really intense. Especially his poor sister. That must have been so hard for you to watch.
