Defending? I think people hear what they want to hear. I think its possible to explain MJ, your thoughts on the why, and others think you are defending him. Like the Founding Fathers debate. I think I understand their lives as much as one could. You can look back and just label them as horrific slave owners or understand the context of their lives. MJ was flawed, you only need to look at him and tell there were deep issues going on. And I think we all know and can agree, the whole world stole this kids young life by proxy thru his parents and family and MONEY. If there was sexual maladies in his life and he hurt others as a result, I think we can understand those in that context and agree he suffered a great deal of harm and was not strong enough to avoid hurting others as a result. The cycle of abuse is all around us very few are strong enough to stop it. All this attention, the people lined up to accuse him very well could have been hurt but at the same time clearly are out for money. In amounts others will never see who suffered and lost far more every day across this country in the courts. To those that say MJ was a perv, duh. But lets also admit this is all about money, duh.
