NYC Chris, I agree with much of what you posted, for sure, thats my thought process as well, in regards to any drug use by Michael.
I find it hard to believe Michael was the "drug addict" the tabloids and media have been painting for the last decade. These are the very same people that violated him, his life, his privacy, humiliated him, degraded him, abused him, slandered him, remember? They never wrote about all his humanitarian efforts, behind the scenes, which he was doing since he was a kid. I also refuse to believe he would be a professional junkie, when his children were his whole life, he would never do anything so stupid like being a junkie because it would destroy them and leave them without a father. He was a role model for kids around the world. Why would he allow himself to become a "addict" or "junkie"?! He was not an aggressive or violent being. He was soft spoken, calm all the time, even with dozens of cameras shoved in his face every time he left his home. Followed, stalked and violated by the media for many years and NOT one single incident of him ever striking out at any of them, ever. A drug addict would act irrationally, unpredictible, aggressive, even violent.... he was never behaved in any of these manners, ever, during his entire life. Not even during the trials. He was a broken man, for sure, but not one to allow himself to become an "addict". All he wanted was to be left alone, and to spend the rest of his years with his children.
I think the family would have done much more, especially his mom, if he was in fact a drug addict. Sure, he took medications for the Pepsi burn accident, who wouldn't?! As for the alias and all the drug and medical equipment in his house, let's not do what the tabloids want us to do... let's not forget the thousands of sick and terminally ill kids he's had through his home, some for extended stays, he also had a team of doctors when sick kids were staying in his home.
Jackson hasn't "let me down" in any way, if anything, I commend him for sticking up for himself, for fighting back for as long and as hard as he could, against the tabloids, extortionists, disgruntled former employees, those maliscous lawsuits from former staff, record and concert execs (from cancelled events when sick or hurt) and those families trying to extort money from him. People, don't let the tabloids jade and dirty the man he truly was behind the scenes. Don't forget, he's given us over 40 years, hard cord dancing and singing, he was 50 years old, thats a lot of wear and tear on any human body. Don't forget he also had Lupus. A whole book could be written about his battle with Lupus and all it's associated medical problems, ranging from lung problems to butterfly rashes and crusting on his cheeks (hence the masks), muscle and joint pain, inflammation... and so many other issues. He was only human, he suffered financially due to those wanting a piece of him and his money. He suffered public humiliation during those trials, being accused of the most horrific thing that could be done to any child. That would take it's toll on any human, mentally and physically.
I just wish that that Dr. Murray was never hired by AEG and that his family was more insistent on being a part of his come back tour nad his well being. It will all come out, but not anytime soon, what really happened. I do find it difficult to believe he passed a "grueling medical exam" by AEG's insurance company and "passed with flying colors" just before his death. How was that possible, if he was annorexic, dehydrated, his body riddled with "track marks", and was addicted to drugs? Think about that. What insurance company would insure someone for several hundred million dollars if they were a junkie, like the tabloids have been trying to convince us he's been for the last decade.
My thought on all the alias, for the drugs (if really found) in his home at the time of his 'death"... let's not forget again, he gave to many, many sick and terminally ill kids. He paid for procedures, treatments, surgeries, and their medications. I believe that he was also helping that impersonator, in his dying months, and even went so far as to get him all the drugs he needed, to make him as comfortable as possible, under what ever name he could think of.
Another thing that makes me doubt all this tabloid garbage is that the LAPD is now saying they knew Michael was a "drug addict' during his trials, they "knew' he took many drugs as it all came out in witness interviews. My question is, if the LAPD knew about the drugs, the alias, and all that stuff back during the trils, how on earth can they force any kind of criminal investigation now, now that he's dead, and they knew all about the 'pharmacy shopping", "19 alias", the "drug addiction" etc. back then but didn't conduct ANY investigations, didn't file ANY charges back then? Hypocritical to say the least.
Far too many unanswered questions, but I refuse to believe anything the tabloids say at this point. At some time, down the road, the family or his executors, maybe his own kids, may very well tell the world, their story, and about the real man behind the masks. I do know that the world is a worse place without such a gentle, kind, caring, giving person. Much like the death of Princess Di, the tabloids contributed to her down fall and death. Don't believe much of what you read, especially when it comes to Michael Jackson.
)... i also have a pill-addict at home and it sort of makes me hating any kind of pill ...
