@BuffaloBill87 there have been more than 4 accusers?! I had no idea, who are the others?

It was not criminal, is what I thought to say.This 'his behaviour was not illegal' is not a great argument though..
Sorry, the Mexican boys from the late 80sYeah I remember his name but Bill Buffalo speak of 7!
How come this didn’t get any traction in the 80s? I very vaguely reading about it.Sorry, the Mexican boys from the late 80s
I agree with you, but buffalo was talking/asking about 'behaviour' not the question 'guilty/not guilty' or 'breaking laws', so in that sense when something is not illegal doesnt mean its right to do. Bullying is not illegal but (in this example) it is not right or not accepted.It was not criminal, is what I thought to say.
Its not an argument, because its basic facts. He did not break the law and it was never found he did break laws. He didn't even invade a consent of the adults present in these times. Arguing back and forth about what he did and if hanging out with children is barely relevant even, because he has been accused of having sex with children. Which doesn't even require a prior relationship or prolonged contact, they're simply indecent acts that you commit. The same as befriending children is just an act that you can just go out and do, no real, impetus necessary. It's just basic logic. A man can assault a random woman on the street or get to know her and then do it. They're both criminals. If they're accused and innocent though, does dating the woman and being attracted to her make it more suspicious and likely he'd assault her? I'm pretty sure that's he just a sicko who wants his kicks and either will or won't do it.
That's a rhetorical question. Anyway.
And for many predators, they go hand in hand, sure, but befriending children goes hand in hand with parents, teachers, and most other community figures. There's plenty of ways to invade a child's boundaries other than staying with them excessive amounts of time. And here I go again writing another essay.
The lawsuits haven't been about Michael directly, though. WR's first lawsuit named Michael and it was dismissed very quickly bc Michael was dead and you can't bring a lawsuit against a dead person. All of the lawsuits that got rejected were all about the same thing - the claim that Michael's companies had a duty of care to WR and JS as kids.[...] Suing the production company is the only and hopefully last way Wade and James can try to earn the big bucks in court because all their trials direcly on Michael have been thrown out.
Bc that hasn't been the question for the judges to consider. They haven't been hearing the case itself. So far, they have been deciding whether the case had any merit and could go forward to trial. Every judge decided that Michael's companies did not have a duty of care to the kids. Now the Court of Appeal has said, yes, it is reasonable to claim that the 2 companies did have a duty of care.Its also so obivous that they are trying all possible was to sue Michael to earn some money, how does the court not see it.
Tbh not 100% sure myself. If I remember he got accused of it in maybe 85/86 but it got quickly shut down.How come this didn’t get any traction in the 80s? I very vaguely reading about it.
In a sense youre right about this, if something happend a lot time ago it can be difficult to remember everything.Looking back LN did change my opinion and made me question what really went on.
I felt physically sick listening to what was said during that documentary. The graphic details about the sex acts that were carried out.
It made me SICK at the thought of this happening. Now I've read stuff in the past about MJ and Chandler sharing baths and him describing his private regions etc.
Timelines and not putting every part of the puzzle together doesn't bother me, who in their right mind would describe such vulgar acts between a man and children. Unfortunately it has stuck with me ever since.
I know that the documentary was supposed to shock people and that was the whole point but still.
Yeah the train station story obv blows everything out because it didn't exist during this particular moment? something like that anyway.In a sense youre right about this, if something happend a lot time ago it can be difficult to remember everything.
The problem here is the scale in which Wade and James cant puzzle every part together and also that they (sometimes) claim they do know all the stories almost completely. For some reason in LN they remembered everythin in detail!
One important example is the train station story. In the movie James talks very detailed about this 'train station' abuse as if he remembered everything little thing. But is simply couldn't have happend, which would mean that he (1) lied and (2) wrote this very graphic story himself. Which if you think about it, is fucking sickening.
Thank for the correcting me. But then the question again arises, can the company be responsible or have duty of care for something that 'probably' didnt happen..The lawsuits haven't been about Michael directly, though. WR's first lawsuit named Michael and it was dismissed very quickly bc Michael was dead and you can't bring a lawsuit against a dead person. All of the lawsuits that got rejected were all about the same thing - the claim that Michael's companies had a duty of care to WR and JS as kids.

I remember you said in another threat, 'If michael lied once about his surgeries, what else did he lie about?'Yeah the train station story obv blows everything out because it didn't exist during this particular moment? something like that anyway.
Based on the reading I've done this particular story isn't true. Looks like people bought it bc the FBI gets mentioned and so everyone just assumes that it must be true. Think about this, though. When Michael went to court in 2005 Sneddon - somehow, god knows how - was able to persuade the judge to allow him to mention the Chandler stuff as part of his prosecution. When a person goes to court for a criminal trial, if they have previously been charged with similar crimes, that is NOT mentioned in the course of the current trial. Bc that would influence the jury. So it is off the table. Every time.How come this didn’t get any traction in the 80s? I very vaguely reading about it.
Well, I ask you again, Elvis has been documented sleeping over with under age girls. Why does no one seem too particularly stressed about that statement. You don't even have to answer me, please don't actually. It's rhetorical, to make you think.Looking back LN did change my opinion and made me question what really went on.

I don't really like your reasoning on this. This has nothing to do with Elvis or R.Kelly. I was also extremely put of by the chock value of LN (and the R.Kelly doc as well by the way, the dude IS canceled so you can't say nobody cares). First after I did my research I saw how everything was manipulated. These things are disgusting to the world no matter if its a boy or a girl. Teenage (or preteen) girls have been over sexualized in the past (Taxi driver, Pretty Baby etc.) so this is probably one of the reasons why people like Elvis back in the day didn't draw that much attention to their misconduct.Well, I ask you again, Elvis has been documented sleeping over with under age girls.

A more obvious example, R.Kelly. his crimes are very well documented. There's very literal video evidence of how sordid and sick he was. Why did we not only not care, but they actually dare to make jokes about it? Even portray it on the Boondocks lol.
It's about mental association, and unspoken bias. Because MJ is accused of sodomy and being a Gay Pedophile, there's an undercurrent of homophobia involved outright. If even MJ was accused of exploting a girl, how would people take it? Would it depend on her race as well. Just really think about what makes you uncomfortable. If it is as simple as sleepovers then maybe, I won't say I don't get it, I'll begrudge you that.

Of course they are disgusting, and I would never dare say otherwise. It's just such an intense disgust I'm registering when people talk about MJ. He is larger than life in truly so many ways, and that includes even when people may dislike or are out off by something involving him.I don't really like your reasoning on this.

Yes, you are right that people (especially the tabloids) love to hate on MJ (except when he passed away).Of course they are disgusting, and I would never dare say otherwise. It's just such an intense disgust I'm registering when people talk about MJ. He is larger than life in truly so many ways, and that includes even when people may dislike or are out off by something involving him.
I do also refuse to Not speak on the double standards that, not even has anything to do with race, but pretty much any "respected" artist gets in the face of accusations versus MJ from the tabloid media. It's only recently that these things have changed. Starting to swing the other way really, too condemning of anyone even accused of things. It may have been a different time but it's not the same treatment every different time.
Also that is not a very good argument.. even if its not a regular method used, it still doesnt mean it happened or not..It might be fair to do research on how often a child predator even wants to have a sleepover with kids. To see if that's even a method they use that much
Dr Dieter Speck a German psychologist made a very interesting analysis.Also that is not a very good argument.. even if its not a regular method used, it still doesnt mean it happened or not..
I think I have seen some indept analysis of Michaels behaviour with certrain professionals (on discovery or someting), I think these professionals were analyzing Michaels behaviour, body language in depositions and background of his life, I think there conclusion was he probably wasnt a child predator.
I will try to find it, it was pretty interesting.
Just watched it, good analysis, I liked how the audience cheered everytime hahah.Dieter Speck a German psychologist made a very interesting analysis.
yeah the audience is very motivating...In Europe people were never as critical of MJ as in the US...Just watched it, good analysis, I liked how the audience cheered everytime hahah.
However, possibly there are also psychologists who think otherwise..
If it's not a method, then that pretty much eliminates it as being relevant in my mind. Maybe it crosses different boundaries, warranted discussions. But MJ overall does not fit the MO of anyone who wants something other than to, really, stick it to the media, exert his image and his triumph over the enemies. Have his jollies, enjoy his fun, his one sort of fun, with young people, away from the prying tabloid eyes, and just massage that wounded soul who was made to be obscenely famous from a young time. There was a need for MJ to hear No, but it really should have stayed long before Thriller, Off the Wall, any of it. After all, he was once a kid too, but made to feel like a grown man and a recording art genius. Which he was, but what a contradiction.Also that is not a very good argument.. even if its not a regular method used, it still doesnt mean it happened or not..

Wait what do mean as method? Like sleepovers as general behaviour for child molesters or the method of researching his psychology? I dont really understand .If it's not a method, then that pretty much eliminates it as being relevant in my mind. Maybe it crosses different boundaries, warranted discussions.

The former, I mean the former.Wait what do mean as method? Like sleepovers as general behaviour for child molesters or the method of researching his psychology? I dont really understand .
Ah yes sorry, thanks for the clarification. I think most child predators dont even get close to being able to have (friendly) sleepovers.. most probably would want one, cause it brings them closer to them. Basically the same as you'd like to be with a woman or man because you are interested in that sex, when its a man or woman you are interested in. But I'd think its a difficult method to achieve, because I dont think a lot of people will let an adult male have a sleepover with a kid. But I'm no psychologist.The former, I mean the former.
I saw it at the end it got angry when everyone was convinced by robson safechuck's statements, the woman said there should be a process for the truth, and we have it nowAlso that is not a very good argument.. even if its not a regular method used, it still doesnt mean it happened or not..
