Michael Jackson Supporters: Check In

[mopaul]

Do you think Michael is being railroaded and set up and is basically innocent of the charges of child molestation?

Do you think Michael is guilty as hell and is going down?

1. I don't support him, but it's obvious that this...

family just wanted money. Who else would let their kid stay at Michael's house?! For God's sake. This whole world has gone crazy.

2. I wouldn't say I'm a supporter, but I have been a fan

who has grown steadily disillusioned over the years. I think it best to wait until after the trial as to his guilt but I will say that it is not in Michael's favor that he ended up quieting that one boy ten years ago by paying him several million dollars. Guilty or not of the current charges I think any parent who leaves a young boy in Michael's care is NUTS.

3. Can't be bothered with this distraction!

Venezuela, Iraq, de-regulation, joblessness, Bush lies....too many other things to worry about.

4. I have been fondled by Michael before

and quite frankly, it feels good when he scratches my over-sized scrotum with his silky white glove....

5. I think Michael is deeply weird

But it hasn't yet been proven to me that he is a child molester, from what I've seen. Since these cases often involve kids with very high medical bills looking for cash, and since Jackson's weirdness at least is well known, it seems as if either the parents are whoring their kids out or are attempting to trap a deeply weird and naive Jackson with enough evidence for a lawsuit.

But I don't know really which it is, and the situation seems fairly odd on several levels--it's not as neat and tidy as the media have reported, I don't think.

6. I agree. Michael is beyond my comprehension and it does appear

to me that no indeed understands his behavior, and may be reading the worse into the situation. I haven't seen any hard core proof that sez he's guilty as charged. So far the charges are very ambiguous.

But then again I don't follow this saga on a daily basic.

7. Yes, the 'helpless women' and 'scary black guys' stories don't grab me

I've been waiting to hear something on the news about Najaf police threatening to shoot reporters unless they left immediately, but nothing so far.

8. former major fan

I thought Michael Jackson was just great for quite a while.

And while I still don't think he's necessarily guilty (child molestation is something that occurs long-term, did THAT many parents for 25-plus years REALLY agree to keep quiet?)

I think MJ has made some very poor choices.

Paying off the first kid, if the family was just after money, was a mistake. And continuing to be alone with kids afterwards is just stupid.

I still think that there's a good chance he's being targeted because he's an easy mark due to his weirdness, but...there are more important issues that the media should be focusing on.

9. not a fan, and I must say this is the most reasonable post I've ever seen

on this issue. How refreshing. :)

It's not a crime to be weird.

(BTW I haven't been a fan since "She's Out of My Life")

10. Set Up. Entrapment. False Evidence. Lies. Innuendo. Revenge. Money.

Michael will be convicted... flees country... commits suicide.

Other predictions:

Although probably innocent Kobe Bryant will settle out of court.
Although probably guilty, Scott Peterson will be aquitted.
