8. NO, *doctors* are NOT "immune".... |
|
MJ was murdered....by intent or negligence (or negligent intent).
That's the truth.

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

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).

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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*?

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.

He didn't.
I'm alive.
He's dead.
That's what makes him different from me.
