Well I'm not such a "die hard" MJ fan. I just really enjoy his music and performances. I was never interested in his private life, but since he died I decided to really do some research about him.
When it comes to the molestation charges, personally I don't have my own opinion yet. I do have a few theories (some of them confirms that he did it, but still they portray him rather positive), but I won't be speculating nom because I haven't seen this documentary yet. And I think that I should read Randy's Taraborrelli's book when it will be updated. It comes out sometime in August.
But what I wanted to write here about is the alarm topic. First of all, I would be gratefull if someone could supply me with one info, where exactly where those alarms settled? I mean, like, they were protecting the entrance to bedroom, office or maybe the whole floor? I didn't find that info anywhere. But as far as I'm concerned it was somewhere near those rooms right?
So my personal feelings about alarm system are quite positive, because I saw a few minutes of footage showing the police raid, and in MJ's private rooms there were some safes containing documents (probably court documents, or copyright, or docs about owning the land, or whatever that was important) and camera with some cassettes (I don't know what was on them, but I suppose that those could be lawyer interviews form 1993 case) and what brought my attention were the private family movies(I don't remember if they were in safes, I think they were on some shelves), which I think were containing some footage(that some of which, sadly we can see now on youtube- MJ wouldn't want that) of his little kids. Those were moments that Michael was not going to share with the world. Everybody knew that, so they were definitely worth some money.
He could easily been robbed even by some random kid or cleaning lady or bodyguard. As we know there were a lot of people hired and visiting at Neverland. So that's one reason for settin up the alarms.
Second is much the same but it cocerns jewelery and money that he kept in hidden places in his home(probably uder the bedroom floor or somewhere like that), and it wasn't like 5 thousands. God, it was 2 milion bucks, hidden around the house, who wouldn't try to find it? (if you belive the Jackson family those things were stolen after his death anyway, so it just prooves how loyal Michael's co-workers were). I wouldn't trust people around me, I would set the alarms, for sure.
He worked hard for his money, why would he give someone a chance to steal them. Yeah, he gave much of his money away to charities, that's noble, but I just don't get the point of throwing so much of them away on those e-bay sh*ts that he did not need, his house was so big and yet so cluttered. I know, he earned it, he could spend it. But he HAD financial troubles! He didn't pay his empoyees and taxes(he should have had someone to take care about that, some accountant, he had enough on his mind, already, if, I were him I would have hired somebody for that). And also I'm pretty sure he helped his family financially, a LOT. Who wouldn't. The problem is, that MJ's family was REALLY big and REALLY needy(or greedy, well not all of them, but some of them waited for BIG support). I'm sure, because I have quite large family myself(not that close family, I have only one brother, but I also have very close cousins: 4 females and 5 males, which gives me : 7 nephews and 4 nieces xD yep, I'm an old auntie and I'm only 19
).
So in my opinion alarms were a very reasonable choice, maybe one of the best that MJ ever made.
Ps. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to discuss these subjects, I'm new here and I've seen comments on alarms, so I just wanted to make my point
Ps2. I had a problem with ordering a DVD too, but I hope that it will be available in the net soon. If I will like it, I will buy it later, when it will be available in Poland, for sure(if Mr. Nimmer will do as he promised, and give 10% of profits to some MJ's charity organisations).
Ps3. I'm sorry thaat this post is so long
please, forgive me.
