From TMZ...


We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing, after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

They say bad things come in threes. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson

Something must of been a hell of a Thriller to send him into cardiac arrest.

In all honesty this shocks the hell out of me. I kinda thought he would live forever. He was a part of my childhood, kinda crazy.

MSN has him as " rushed to the hospital". I haven't seen him pronounced anywhere but TMZ. In any case it's a big loss.

Jacko didn't shine bright in the late parts of his career, but his beginning and middle are rivaled by no one, outside of Elvis.

Thanks for the music, the memories and the laughs.

He was an excellent artist but was also a tremendous philanthropist and did a lot for the world. We should be focusing on his accomplishment, not his legal troubles.

I like how you spun that. His "legal troubles." Let's excuse him for his pedophilia because he donated to a few charities. Should have died about 50 molested children ago.

Wow. I can't believe that you all feel so strongly about one person's passing. In a way, that's good. We should never take life, including the life of another, for granted. Having said that, and with all due respect for Micheal Jackson and the members of the board, I agree with Crespo and Keeper. While Jackson was very entertaining, he was clearly flawed as a human being. To dismiss his off-stage activities as simply "legal problems" is to burying your head in the sand. While no criminal charges were ever substantiated against M.J., he sure did have some disturbing habits. Sleeping with young boys is not normally accepted as healthy human behavior. While circumstantial, the body of evidence is overwhelming.

I'm sorry that he has died, but his death is shallow when compared to the lives of others that have been snuffed out in the name of good. Namely, the young men and women who have given their lives for our country and humanity in conflicts around the world as examples.

As far as his significance as an entertainer, and to keep things in perspective, he was a product. Not an artist. Let's not forget Marvin Gaye, Little Richard (the true King of Rock), Otis Reading, Lew Rawls, Wilson Picket, Stevie Wonder, and many others.

Rest in peace Micheal Jackson.

Never convicted?Neither was OJ, Hitler, Stalin or Beretta.
North Korea has a boat sailing towards Hawaii, Iran is close to civil war, we're pulling our kids out of Iraqi cities on Tuesday, Afghanland is once again a shit fight, the Pakistani army is making huge gains and their civilians are now fighting along with them against the Taliban.
and Michael Jackson, a man who paid off a half dozen families after diddling with their kids is dead.
Let the truth be told,a junkie ,weirdo, diddler is gone.
He said on the BBC in front of 40,000,000 tv viewers in the British Isles
""Theres nothing more beautiful than sharing your bed and your love with a boy, doesnt everyone deserve to be loved, theres nothing wrong with sharing your bed with a child""...
My daughter didnt know he was black until last year, that was one fucked up dude that usurped the US Judicial system with money and made a mockery out of the court room whether it be dressing up like Sargent Fukin Pepper or coming to court with his jammies on.
He went broke and fucked over his creditors as was reported this morning to the tune of 400,000,000.00but he was very talented and had a big impact on the music industry for 40 years.
Theres no doubt about his talent and his ability to entertain
Chuck Sullivan,son of Pats owner Billy Sullivan went broke promoting his tour after the Thriller album was cut. the town of Foxboro wouldnt allow Jackson to play at Schaefer Stadium due to the element he brought into the stadiums(14 year old girls and men like Perez Hilton).

Im not conflicted
I got a 13 yr old son who stands 6'1 175 and would beat the piss out of a diddler but none the less as a father I got no room for sympathy cause Jackson got away with raping children and man o man o manoschevitz I dont have it in my heart to give a fuck about people like that whether their daddies spanked them or not...You dont pay blackmail money if your innocent and this guy paid till it hurt.
Mother fucker brought Emmanuel Lewis to the Grammy's 1 year when the kid was like 9.
His best friend was McCauley Culkin,ever wonder why he was so fucked up?
The only people who should be mourning today are the lawyers that took him for 9 figures over the years in legal fees ,payouts and kickbacks and his family members who truly loved him and then those who look past his actions as a man and are simply in love with his talent.
I believe in a just God and I also believe that diddlers get butt fucked dry for eternity.
See ya in hell bitch.

agree Crunchy. It is amazing that someone can do something so heinous yet be a good musician and get a pass for it. HE FUCKED YOUNG BOYS IN THE ASS AFTER DRUGGING THEM WITH WINE. Hell, even criminals have a code. If he went to jail, his asshole would have stretched from his mid back to his toes just prior to him getting shanked.

Mr Crunchy
06-26-2009, 08:02 AM
I used to giggle and make jokes about his unhealthy relationships with kids....till i had my own.
Then it wasnt so funny, theres plenty of guilt to go around here including the parents who essentially pimped their kids off sending them overnight to Jacksons house with intent to set his ass up good.
He couldnt control himself, the pimping parents got paid and we all let it go by the wayside cause Michael was so sweet.

See ya in hell bitch.

Agree and disagree. I see your point...the evidence is overwhelming...but what if...WHAT IF...the guy was just plain weird? Like what if he wasn't a child molester, he was just a straaaange, strange cat? I'm not saying sharing your bed with kids is normal...but what if that's truly all it was? The evidence is staggering, but there is the slightest slightest doubt in my mind.

And, to being a father...say someone did molest your son...is there any amount of money that you'd be willing to settle for to let the guy walk? I don't have a child of my own, but I have a niece...if anyone were to lay a single finger on her in a way I didn't feel proper, I don't know that the case would ever get to trial prior to me murdering whoever it was myself. But if it did slip past me and get to court, you bet I'd want them hung from the highest tree. AFTER a conviction I would go after them in a civil court to ensure every last dime of their money becomes hers. That's what casts the biggest shadow for me...seems like extortion at its core...:dunno:

The truth is right there.

I've always thought the families of the so-called "raped boys" were nothing but members of a get-rich quick scam, because honestly, no matter how twisted you are, if someone really raped a child you brought into this world, you want his ass in jail no matter the amount of money offered.

Where are the death threats from the families?

Where's the indignation?

Where's the pain?

I never saw any of that from the families, and that's what makes me call bullshit on it.

The case settlement was not made outside of a courtroom.

Your penal law, like ours,specifies that any stipulation made in a settlement case must be saved in public records so the public be able to access it.

If it had been an outside-court settlement your argument might have held water.

That case was never prosecuted, and the settlement was out of court. There are also rumored to be numerous other settlements outside of court. The last case was an acquittal, so I am not sure if there was any settlement. Are you telling me that a settlement filed with a court cannot contain a provision where the parties agree not to disparage each other? That is just not accurate.

I'm not taking sides whether he was a pedophile or not. He certainly, at the very least, exercised incredibly poor judgment. I'm just saying that silence by victims who have settled financially is no indication of innocence. It is just not.

If the settlement was out of court, as you state, then you are indeed correct and my memory fails me.

But on this:

Are you telling me that a settlement filed with a court cannot contain a provision where the parties agree not to disparage each other? That is just not accurate.

Absolute strawman.

It can contain the provision, but it will be held in the case record, so it will actually be known that such a provision was actually made.

That's why people avoid in-court settlements at all costs.

I don't even know if there is an in court settlement of any claims against him, but there's no strawman here. The agreement could have a gag order. Just because we don't know what's in any such settlement doesn't mean that there is no gag order. We haven't seen any such settlement agreement, so how could we know?

I don't even know if there is an in court settlement of any claims against him, but there's no strawman here. The agreement could have a gag order. Just because we don't know what's in any such settlement doesn't mean that there is no gag order. We haven't seen any such settlement agreement, so how could we know?

Ok we got off on the wrong foot.

Allow me to explain.

You said they might have agreed to not discuss the case outside of court.

I said that, to my recollection, it was an in-court settlement, and if it in fact was in-court, then it'd be public domain that such a clause was part of the settlement, basically proving MJ's guilt, and that, since such a thing was never mentioned, it casts a shadow of doubt on the nature of the actual settlement.

You corrected me on the nature of the settlement, saying it was outside-of-court, to which i admitted to being wrong if such was the case.

Clear now?

Let me say that regardless of his guilt or innocence, his was a tragic life. The biggest irony of all is that his father who did such a great job abusing all of the jackson kids and screwing them up may get custody of Michael's kids. That has to be the last thing that Jackson wanted.

Seconded.

Did you know MJ's skin problems derived from his dad giving him hormones to stunt his hormonal development so he could keep his voice intact?

I didn 't know that.

Yup.

My mother's a huge MJ fan, so she collects every piece of biographic info on him that she can, and she was quite surprised when she found that out.

I love MJ's music, but this memorial service is too outlandish for me. On every...single...channel. Luckily, I can turn it off.

I'll stick to the music.

I'm not one to kick the dead horse. But this guy was a true lowlife. To be honest I think he did molest those kids but lets say he didn't for a second. Sleeping in the same bed with children is stepping over lines. Great entertainer, but a lowlife druggie off the stage.

MJ was a musical genius, but imo he belonged in a nut hatch, even if you take away the pedophile allegations. He needed some serious mental help, and he never got it. As they say, if you're poor, you're crazy...if you're rich, you're eccentric.

He was severely abused as a child. Not to say that excuses his behavior (if he actually did abuse children) but so often child abuse is a cycle of victimization. If he received some kind of counseling or intervention, perhaps he wouldn't have turned out the way he did.

This is interchangable with any entertainer out there pretty much.
