He’s Dead, Get Over It

If you use Facebook, you’ve by now noticed that four out of five of your friends mentioned Michael Jackson in one way or another, most of which are respectful of his death. He touched children, and that deserved respect? When did we as a society get to the point where if you’re a pop singer you can molest little boys and still have the love of the entire world?

It sickens me, it really does. Yeah, he had a great musical career and has millions of fans (I’m not one of them, his music sucks to me), but that’s not reason enough to overlook the deeds he did. Apparently it was enough for courts to overlook, because “oh my God, Michael Jackson is in my court room!” or “wow, I can’t believe I’m on the jury of my idol, he’s innocent for sure!”

A good example of how idiotic these fans are is Hitler. I’m not saying that this pedantic little jackass killed nine million people in mass genocide, but both men did something horrible to defenceless people who had nobody there to protect them. Hitler was a brilliant industrial leader who took Germany (democratically, mind you) from essentially a third world country after post WW1 hyper-inflation and the Great Depression and turned it into a world power in only six years. So we can overlook mass genocide because Hitler helped out Germany and effectively the entire world with his technological programs? No, he tried to wipe out an entire race of people and killed or enslaved anyone that didn’t fit his ideal view of what a person should be.

So why Michael Jackson? If you do anything to a child, you’re sub-human in my book. These kids don’t know what goes on when an adult touches their special areas and are taken advantage of in the worst of ways. If you can overlook that fact and cry over his death, then please stay away from my children and from all play grounds and elementary schools, because that’s the kind of mentality that he had. Jackson is now paying for his sins for all eternity, and I take solace in that.
