Michael Joseph Jackson

This is a post from my actual blog. I just want to spread it around, because Michael Jackson is amazing.

This is a note I just wrote on my Facebook in response to a status I saw on my home page. It was from a girl I went to school with, and it said this; “Michael Jackson is better off dead, amen”. Two of my close friends “liked” the status, and the anger it instilled in me is indescribable. I wrote this kind of as a rebuttal to their ignorance and hatefulness, but it turned out to mean so much more to me. I may not have been listening to Michael Jackson for the LONGEST time, but I can tell you one thing, he was an amazing person, and I am finally seeing why people get so mad about this blatant ignorance that people are exhibiting. He did not deserve to be treated this way, and to say that someone is better off dead, well I just can’t believe someone would talk that way. Anyway, I wanted to put this on my blog, mostly because I just like things that I write to be on my blog as well. But, maybe someone out there who hates Michael Jackson as much as these people on my Facebook do, can read this and start to change their line of thinking. Mostly I just don’t want people to believe these lies anymore, but I realize that it’s futile to try to change someones thinking if they don’t want to change themselves. I hope that there are people like that out there; that do want to change. Otherwise, just leave him alone from now on?

Rest in Peace Michael, you deserve no less.


“Your personal opinion about Michael Jackson means nothing. The facts mean something. The fact that he was found innocent by a jury of his peers means something. The fact that you people, are not that jury, and you do not have the right to judge him, or to condemn him. You cannot just appoint yourself to this pedestal and think that you can pretend that you’re so high and mighty that you get to say whatever you want about whoever you want. You’re entitled to your opinions, but that’s only when your opinion can be argued for or against. This opinion is completely wrong. It’s cruel and it’s inhumane. How can you be happy that someone is dead when you didn’t even know the man? What a sad error in judgment, and a pathetic lapse of human emotion.


I know what you’ll say. You’ll say that I didn’t know him either. You’ll say that I’m overreacting. You’ll say that I’m only doing this for attention, or that I only like him because he’s dead. Trust me, none of these things are true, well except for the fact that I didn’t know him. I’ll tell you who I do know. I know a lot of cruel people. I know a few people who I never thought could be so cold, and now that I know who you people are, I no longer want anything to do with you. You can tell me that I’m overreacting, trust me; I’m expecting it. That’s fine. But I also think that I can argue that you are overreacting. This goes for all of you out there who agree that Michael Jackson is better off dead. What a horrible thing to say.


Oh, yes, I seem to have forgotten… he did molest those boys didn’t he? Oh, actually, no..? He didn’t? He was found innocent? Well that’s news to me. I really thought that Jordan Chandler knew what Michael’s penis looked like. Oh no? That was just a horrible rumor spread around by the media? He couldn’t accurately describe Michael’s genitals? Well then why does everyone think he correctly described it? Don’t you think that if Jordan Chandler could’ve accurately described the penis of a man who he claimed molested him, that there would have been a trial, and that Michael probably would’ve went to jail? You think the defense attorney’s would’ve just let that piece of evidence slide? No. They wouldn’t have, and they didn’t, because Jordan could NOT describe it.


Interesting isn’t it? The Arvizo’s case, well that was interesting too. The second time Michael was accused of child molestation. The mother of the boy who was accusing Michael had actually gotten into trouble before, in an incident at a JC Penny’s. She basically accused the security guards from JC Penny’s of beating her, but when she was at the police station she had no cuts or bruises, and looked completely fine. Two days later she came back with bruises and said that the guards “twisted her nipple 25 times” and sexually molested her. Now, I’ve never been molested, but I’m pretty sure if I was that I wouldn’t remember how many times they twisted my nipple, let alone would I be COUNTING the number of times it happened. Janet Arvizo got $20,000 for this conspiracy, but I guess it just wasn’t enough money for her. She needed to go after someone bigger than a JC Penny’s.


Oh and when they took Michael to court, didn’t they have the same two lawyers as the Chandler’s did 20 years ago? That must be just a coincidence, right? And the fact that their case was modeled very similarly to the Chandler’s case, that’s also just a coincidence. I mean, maybe Michael just molested the two boys similarly? Yeah, of course. They weren’t trying to trap him though. Of course not.


Actually I’m not even going to continue defending him. I was born in this country and I know what goes on in this world. The law system says that every man is innocent until proven guilty, but I know it to be the opposite here. Why is Michael Jackson the one exception to this rule? He shouldn’t be, and instead of all of his fans (millions of them) having to defend him constantly, I think that the people who think he was guilty should have to prove it. Please, find me some evidence that he was guilty. I mean, the court transcripts are out there somewhere right? I know my friend has read part of them in various books and sources like that. I mean, if you really want to prove it to me that Michael Jackson was guilty, go out and read the books about it. Find the actual evidence and read it for yourself, and if you still believe that he is guilty from that, I might take a look.


But you won’t do that will you? You all are too lazy to question what you hear on the radio, news, or the TV. Isn’t that right? You don’t want to look up the real answers to this conspiracy because you’re all too stubborn to think that you might be WRONG. Whoa…that’s a new word isn’t it. Being wrong is a wonderful thing that you all have in common, but don’t let me just tell you what I know. You might as well figure it out for yourself. Really, go look up some things about Michael Jackson. Look up some books or articles that were written by people from the courtroom during the trial and find out for yourself whether or not he was really guilty. If you do decide to look, which I know you probably won’t, please don’t have your evidence be from a tabloid or gossip column. Do yourselves a favor and don’t continue to embarrass yourselves.


No, I know you’re just getting angrier at the fact that I’m challenging you with this. I’m terribly sorry but I just don’t understand why you are all still obsessing over this. It just doesn’t make any sense. Michael Jackson is dead. You finally got what you wanted right? Why can’t you just move on? Why must he still be attacked and criticized? You should probably just let it rest now. Just an opinion. But that really doesn’t mean anything does it? The fact is; he was found innocent in the most recent case. The fact is; Evan Chandler and the Arvizos were money hungry bastards who lied about the molestations to extort money from a very popular and rich entertainer as Michael was. The fact is; you don’t care about the facts. You make me sick.”
