Who has been held accountable for Michael Jackson's murder?

[Mind_your_head]

so far....I mean.

[blueamy66]

1. Who cares?

nt

[Mind_your_head]

2. I care. eom

[vadawg]

6. rofl n/t

[Angry Dragon]

27. Thes are also the first words that I thought of.........n/t

[akbacchus_BC]

42. You may not care but I respest your nonchalant attitude. Some of

us cared deeply for MJ!

[rucky]

3. Obama

and Clinton, of course.

[Mind_your_head]

5. Oh, come on......you forgot the sarcasm thingy, correct?

[rucky]

11. what is sarcasm?

:evilgrin:

[rwheeler31]

4. No one, apparently in theses times doctors are immune.

[Mind_your_head]

8. NO, *doctors* are NOT "immune"....

MJ was murdered....by intent or negligence (or negligent intent).

That's the truth.

[saltpoint]

7. I have no idea how the investigation is going at all.

This story dominated the entertainment news all summer and now there's not much of a fuss over it.

[Mind_your_head]

15. It's not a *story*......it's about a real man's life (and untimely death)

It's about a man who contributed GREATLY to popular culture and "lots-o-fun" for many of us.

.....and YOU don't give ONE TICKER'S D*MN !?!?


May you have a son/daughter "just like you" (who doesn't give a d*mn).

M_Y_H (I wish you no 'peace' ~ EVER!)

16. A news story is an account, a summary, a synopsis, an investigation,

an assessment, a critical analysis, a string of events.

A story.

I'm real sorry you're upset, but 'story' is a pretty harmless noun.

Really, it is.

[Life Long Dem]

21. I care about the drugs causing deaths

[saltpoint]

23. Very well, then, I'll re-do this post. New version as follows:

- - -

I do in fact know how the investigation is going.
I know which way the foxwind is blowing.
And the boats smoothly rowing downriver are ever silver
in summer's last hour.

Indoors the television screen appears
a slapdash cobbled din of leering fools --
liars, barkers, incessant tools
of a nation in deep arrears
to its original source.

What fuss then in the fog between what
drew Lincoln from the hills, or the angels
beckoning Earhart skyward, and how long
the shadow cast by clouds ever-changing
upon the strip mall's tawdry ruins?

[The Straight Story]

9. bush - his earthquake/tsunami machine broke and he blamed MJ

:rofl:

[ecstatic]

10. Who's investigating? The LAPD?

:puke: Don't hold your breath!

[Forkboy]

12. Judging from how often I hear his music now, I'd say all of us.

:hide:

[salguine]

13. Sha-mone!

[Mind_your_head]

31. Who was the outta-place-guy in the red shirt, btw? eom

[paulsby]

14. you're begging the question

by stating his death WAS a murder.

[Mind_your_head]

17. I don't see how one could conclude anything else. It WAS a murder.

Tell me how one could conclude anything other than that.

[saltpoint]

18. Traditionally the courts assume that role, I believe.

[paulsby]

19. well, first of all

in most jurisdictions, negligent homicide, if that's what you are claiming his death was, is not murder, by definition. it's manslaughter.

they are not the same thing.

apart from that, i'm not even convinced it's manslaughter.

[Mind_your_head]

24. why not? why don't you think it wouldn not even be a manslaugher charge? n/t

[Dreamer Tatum]

25. We don't have access to all the evidence, as apparently you do.

Perhaps you should share it with the LAPD, so they can get up to speed?

[Mind_your_head]

28. I may not have all the evidence, but I KNOW I don't have any of the pressure

that the LAPD does to *discern the truth*...LAPD is under a LOT of pressure to "discern the 'right' truth" *wink* wink* nod* *wink*

[Dreamer Tatum]

30. If I had to pick a suspect, it would be his father

who is now trying to get his dead son's money.

Quo bene?

[Mind_your_head]

36. No.

That's waaaaaaay to obvious, easy. Wrong conclusion.

Thanks for 'playing' though.....

[Dreamer Tatum]

40. Sorry, probably need a more politically correct suspect, huh?

I mean, it's not like there are news stories even today about his father trying to get his money...

[Iggo]

35. Easy. Accidental overdose.

Not sure if it was one or the other, but to act like you can't even conceive of another conclusion besides murder astounds me.

[Mind_your_head]

39. MJ didn't administer the drugs to himself....they were 'given' to him

so any 'accidental overdose' was not by MJ's own hand. In other words, MJ didn't overdose himself. Someone ELSE did.

Malicious or accidental....that's the uneasy question, isn't it? :shrug:

[Iggo]

43. I'm not uneasy about it at all.

Another addict took one shot too many. Doesn't matter if he did it himself or someone esle did it for him. It's on him. Tragic, but this recovering addict is just gonna bow his head for a second, think 'what a damn shame', and move on.

[saltpoint]

20. What about Zorro? Now that would be a dashing story.

What a headline that would be on cable news, 24-7, for weeks on end, if Zorro was in fact the murderer of Michael Jackson.

[Mind_your_head]

22. Whoa....."you're 'on' to sumthin' there".......

:crazy:

[saltpoint]

26. People love Zorro because he always defends the defenseless and

saves peasantfolk in harm's way but what if in fact he was a double-dealing sonofabitch who kills pop stars?

That's the premise.

[earth mom]

29. FYI-MJ was an addict. Sad but true. nt

[Mind_your_head]

32. So? What makes MJ different from me/you?

Addicted to caffeine? Nicotine? Marijuana? Alcohol? Meth? Heroin?

What's your point? That we shouldn't "worry" about this man's murder (or hence, our OWN demise) b/c he was allegedly addicted to *something*?

[earth mom]

33. No, what I'm saying MJ was the one requesting the drugs. The blame is on MJ ultimately. nt

[Mind_your_head]

34. MJ was/is *cool* and very 'thought-forward'......

you and I are not. We're just trashing things that "we're not up to speed on".

Mind_your_head

[earth mom]

37. Sorry, I don't put MJ on a pedestal. He was human and became an addict and tragically

lost his battle with his addiction.

You want someone to blame which is what most people do when they are grieving.

From experience, I can say for sure that the only thing that helps with grief is time.

Punishing other people is not the answer.

[Iggo]

38. Back when I used, I administered my own drugs.

He didn't.

I'm alive.

He's dead.

That's what makes him different from me.

[akbacchus_BC]

41. Just a few days ago, I was wondering if MJ's doctor was guilty ... let the

king of pop rest in peace! He deserves that and who are we to bring up his name again and again. Let MJ rest in peace!
