In case anyone is interested, below is a link to some information about worldwide age of consent laws.

It depends.

Would you have described her as the "white" puppet lady, the "gay" puppet lady or the "jew" puppet lady?

I can't see how you fail to see that there is no difference.

Can you honestly say that you didn't throw in the word "fat" as a way of heaping additional scorn on this guy?

Had you just said this "asshat" protester, I would have totally agreed. He looks like an idiot.

But on the surface, what you are saying implies that not only is he an idiot, but he's a FAT idiot..HA HA HA!

Oh, and as to the issue, while I don't personally have any Jackson albums, I think he was very talented.

Now I think he's just messed up middle aged man who is passing on his sickness by molesting children.

Send him to prison.

I need the option: "I'm indifferent to Michael Jackson's music and think he's innocent by reason of insanity." He needs to be institutionalized, not locked up.

I believe Mike is guilty, but I also believe he was set up.

As a somewhat fat guy myself -I can claim that it doesn't bother me -but I can see that it bothers others. Sorry larger people -I know that there is more to hug. :love:

I think that Micheal Jackson used to be talented, but that the obvious psychological problems he suffers from have hindered that talent.

I hope he is tried justly, and I have no idea if he's guilty or not. I don't watch or read the reports on the trial because I don't find it interesting. There are much more important things to worry about than Micheal Jackson sleeping with a kid.

To be honest, I'd like child services to be brought in after the case and save the kid from his bad parents. Why would any decent parent allow their child to sleep in the same room with a (creepy) forty year old, who has previously been accused of molesting a young boy? I'd never ever sacrifice a kid for millions, and I think anyone who would knowingly allow their child to enter that sort of risk should be tried themselves.

He's a freak and the people standing out there are freaks too. I don't know if he did it or not, but I don't think he should go to jail for being strange. However, you would think after being accused of this before, he would stop having "sleep overs"!

Oops, sorry about that.. :) Will do it next time.

KO

I have to admit to taking a sick sort of interest in the whole thing. It's purely just for the freakshow aspect of it. I admit it's not very healthy or enlightened of me but I just can't help it. I couldn't care less about normal celebrities.

The face has a name "BJ Hickman". Mtv reports that he quit his job so that he can protest full time.

Exactly.

If his accuser was to say, "I don't want any money, it's not about the money. I will sign a contract that I won't sue him for money, I just want to see him put in jail to stop him from hurting kids", I would believe his accuser.

As it stands now, I don't believe his accuser.

Sounds like an obsessed loony toon.

I love how he has the same expression in all the pictures.

This guy being in all the pics and whatnot, he's going to probably be able to walk away with a few interviews on national tv, some form of book deal and might even get to meet Micheal.

This guy will be the "flavor of the day" for a week or so and make enough to live quite well for a few years all because he made himself seen during this trial. What does that say about our society?

Hell, next big star trial I'm selling everything camping in front of the courthouse and make myself known (even if I have to streak) if I'm right and this guy makes money off this.

As for MJ........ he's a freak of nature. Don't know what happened to him after Thriller, but he just lost it, it started with the 1 glove and went from there. Course Latoya and Janet aren't exactly "normal."

I knew if I continued reading this thread that someone would get to the point that seems lost in this whole mess. Why is it a good idea to allow your child to spend time alone with this guy? Bedroom or kitchen or anywhere...why is this a good idea?

If Jacko calls me on the phone and says "Hey ... would you mind if Timmy came over for a sleep over?" Uuuuum...no Whacko ... Timmy is going to be busy for the rest of his life as far as you are concerned. No need to call back.

For the record I have no children so perhaps I'm not the best source for judgement calls like this but it seems to reason that if you put your child in harms way to a certain degree you have the right to expect he or she will get hurt. Maybe....just maybe that's what the parents were hoping for in this case. Jacko is a walking freak show and that's note new news. Maybe the next trial that should happen is for these parents to be charged with negligence.

You summed it up sooo well. Why should we give him MORE publicity if he is guilty of this. If not - why should we give publicity to the parents and child who , in that case, falsely accused him? I'm not sure what to think. Apparently there's enough evidence against him to have a case. Yet I've heard of things that make me question the character of the accusing parents. At this point I just really don't care.

More stuff on BJ Hickman... from his own website:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Later on he changes his mind

Website is down.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Again, is this guy truly that loyal to MJ or is this some 1/2 whacko 1/2 genius who saw an oppurtunity to become "Kato-like" famous for his 15 minutes make a shitload of money and get national attention????

My guess is the latter and the press is eating it up.

I'm just stopping in here to note that the verdict is due to be released, so I wanted to preserve the current standings before people vote knowing the verdict:

Let's see how good the wisdom of the crowd can be...

Just in... Not Guilty! Freaky, Sick Bastard!

im sure someone will give more details...but here are the verdicts per count

1 not guilty
2 not guilty
3 not guilty
4 not guilty
5 not guilty
6 not guilty
7 not guilty
7 lesser offense not guilty
8 not guilty
8 lesser offense not guilty
9 not guilty
9 lesser offense not guilty
10 not guilty
10 lesser offense not guilty

Not guilty on any of the counts.

Money and fame have it's priveleges.

Mom was a grifter.

Maybe he really was innocent.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Innocent!!!

:(

The mother of the 'victim' was completely unbelievable...

While I think MJ is a child molester -- I do not beleive he was guilty in this case... and you can't be convicted for past behavior, only by the charges that were brought.

The jury made the right decision, good for t hem for seeing thru the freakishness...

This greatly upsets me that he's found not guilty. I can't believe this shit.

It's comical to see people already disgusted that he was foudn not guilty. The jury had a lot more evidence than any of us did, and 12 people just decided that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that he did it. What makes your emotional reaction based on sensationalistic news reports intended to boost ratings any more credible than those of 12 people who agreed unanimously that he was not guilty based on 14 weeks of a trial?
Poll frozen at quoted results.

For once, a jury voting based on proof. Believe he molests children or don't, but it was not even close to proven beyond a reasonable doubt in this case. i'm glad to see the jury decided based on that and not on preconceived notions.

I was kinda looking forward to the riot police stomping through MJ's fans.

There was a documentary on the Jackson trial fans and riots last night on British TV, there are some very interesting characters including BJ.
I've not been following the trial at all and therefore can't say if I feel he's guilty or not, nothing to go on. Could someone explain the Sony implication to me?

haha, I as well. I'd love to see the ground littered with placards, such as this one, all trampled and bloody. I mean, it would be unfortunate. But still kinda neat.

I didn't follow the trial at all. I did catch the verdict though (only because it interupted Dr. Phil and Oprah). I was totally shocked that he was found not guilty on all charges. I thought that he would be found guilty on something. I still believe he is guilty. Maybe not this time, but it will come out.

Did anybody see the video of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewing all the crazy Michael Jackson fans? Pure comedy. You can view it here.

BJ Hickman finally gets to stop yelling.

So his 15 minutes are up.

He looks genuinely upset:
