Whacko Jacko Redux
Published November 19, 2003
This just in from Reuters: arrest warrant issued for Michael Jackson.
Here we go again with another allegation by a 12-year-old boy. And this time the King of Pop's cash flow reportedly isn't flowing fast enough to keep up with him.
So much has been said, written, rumored and speculated about Jackson and his "problem" that one more piece of blog seems superfluous. But that's why we write, right, fellow bloggers? Everyone is entitled to our opinions because, God knows, in the current political environment, we need to keep speaking out (and loudly) because so many are trying to shut us up.
But back to Jacko.
Seems as though this boy/man/Diana Ross wanna-be has tipped over the edge. Usually pedophiles are organized, purposeful, and, above all, smart enough to cover their tracks for often long periods of time. Here we have a guy who has been tiptoeing through the juvenile tulips apparently so long that he feels pretty invincible. And, unfortunately, like many others (see courttv.com), he is turning out to be just another pathetic, albeit talented, man who can't keep his hands to himself.
We've all read about it, the sleepovers at Neverland, the carnival rides and exotic animals, the groups of unfortunates given days at the ranch (reminds me of Mason Verger in Hannibal but with hands that actually work). Anyone else would have already been in court.
But Jacko has money and that's what makes the world go 'round. Reports in the press are that MJ paid off the first accuser to the tune of anywhere from $30 to $45 million, making sure to include a coda that the kid can never testify against him in any criminal trial. But do contractual obligations supercede state statutes? Somehow, I don't think so and we'll be hearing from this kid-possibly in a court of law. So he doesn't have as much cash as he used to. He's got Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minelli and David Gest (ok, also not the best example of humanity) and their ilk to offer assistance.

Your "shut up" link is broken (no page name).
But your post is on the money.
Got it. Funny that after I checked my URL I tried 3 different OTHER URL's to link the Patriot Act. I tried each one myself and all came up on respective home pages as "document not available."
Even looking on the Senate page thru Thomas.
Funny, huh?
Why aren't the parents questioned for sending their child to a famous pedophile? Are they looking for a financial windfall by settling out of court?
Perhaps the settlement will pay for therapy for the kid with enough left over for a new Cadillac, thus making it a sound financial decision to let their kid be molested by Michael Jackson.
(Wow, that sounded too cynical even by my standards.)
this is going to make superstars out of the sherrif, mark geragos, and other talking heads. i wish that i could figure out a way to get some publicity for my show our of it.
on a serious note....
i agree 100% with cjones. the parents hold some responsibility for allowing their child to be alone with him, if indeed this is true.
with the money spent on this situation already....500 other child molesters could have been arrested..but no one could bring in the press like mikey.

here is the first two paragraphs of the prosecuter on michael jackson case:
------------------
As Thomas W. (Tom) Sneddon, Jr., an NDAA vice president, begins his sixth and, he says, his last four-year term this month as DA of Santa Barbara County, California, he can look back on a successful and colorful career with many distinctions.
One of those distinctions he could do without: He's the only DA in the nation to have an angry song written about him by pop megastar Michael Jackson.
_____________-
notice that in the second paragraph he mentions that michael wrote a song about him. he seems very happy with that fact.
me thinks this guy is out more for publicity than to right a wrong.

which doesn't mean there isn't a series of wrongs to right, dating back at least ten years
Interesting... And I also see where there are now MULTIPLE counts (likely from the same boy). So, if this was over a period of time, why did the kid keep going back? Maybe all that money Jacko is short wasn't actually lost....
Everybody and their mother (no pun intended) out for what they can get. No good can possibly come from any of this and karma is a powerful force to screw with.
