He's Innocent No Matter What They Say?:
According to the reports about 300 die hard fans turned out for Mike's Indictment for child molestation. One is reported to have said " He's innocent and it doesn't matter what they say in court". Should we start with the top fifteen reasons this is idiocy or should we just stick with a couple. For one, courts often make mistakes but usually they get it right. Second, even when they get it wrong, shouldn't we err on the side of the safety of our children. Third, even if the molestation didn't involve violence the children can be badly damaged physically and mentally. and even a non-violent pedophile definitely has a problem that poses a threat to the children of society. I believe Mike isn't simply looking for new victims when he invites the thousands of kids to his estate every year. I think he honestly loves kids and wants to help. But I also don't have a problem believing that Mike might be sexually immature and as such be drawn to pubescent kids. C'mon, the man's best friend is a monkey! I feel sorry for Mike, I think his life has all but destroyed the person that he might have been. I still love watching the early Jackson Five shows when Mike was just a kid himself. Man, they could put on a show, and the kind of music you could dance to all night. It's too bad it all had to have such a high price.
