@Duster12 don't be so naive to think just because the FBI investigated him he's innocent. What about Jimmy Saville??? Confused

Duster12 · 23/03/2019 11:53

Googling 'fbi michael jackson' doesn't constitute research and investigation. If you can't be arsed requesting the files from the FBI, they are linked at the bottom of this article.

And i wouldn't say i'm a fan in particular. I'm just not a fan of swallowing bullshit.

DD and are Loved her. I was going to get DD tickets to see her at Hyde Park. Not now. It’s so disappointing.

cherriesandoranges · 23/03/2019 11:56

@DioneTheDiabolist agree. They think they can do what they like and get away with it! Disgusting pair!

Aeroflotgirl · 23/03/2019 11:57

Not a paedophile Duster: this behaviour analysis of a male preferential sex offender by an FBI agent Ken Lanning specialising in child molestation, fits MJ perfectly, infact it could almost be written for him but it is not:

I'm interested what were the totally innocent reasons for him befriending pre-pubescent boys, holding hands, having close one to one friendships, inviting them for sleepovers, sharing a bed??? And would that be acceptable and innocent behaviour from an unattractive, not well off, 40 year old single man who worked in b snd q for example?

DeadWife · 23/03/2019 12:03

Absolutely KrazyKatLady.

cherriesandoranges · 23/03/2019 12:04

100% @KrazyKatlady

DioneTheDiabolist · 23/03/2019 12:06

Yep, a ten year FBI investigation resulted in just 300 pages of work.😂😂😂 They didn't investigate him for ten years Duster, it's a spin that MJ paedophile apologists put on the very little involvement the FBI had in the multiple abuse allegations against him.

Aeroflotgirl · 23/03/2019 12:08

I suggest you also read this, complied of evidence that MJ was a paedophile, just because he was found not guilty, does not mean he did not abuse children, some of the evidence was ignored over technicality. He hired a very good lawyer, MJ was the one that got away!

Treefloof · 23/03/2019 12:08

If there was "nothing to find " why did it take the FBI 10 years to not find it?
What kept them going for so long? Surely even the fbi dont have limitless resources.

nolongersurprised · 23/03/2019 12:11

I believe that some people like Barbara Streisand truly believe that if you have a great talent, like wot her and MJ and Romania Polanski had, you can pretty much do what you need to fulfill your needs. Cos Great Talent!

I agree. She’s showing her disdain for the “little people” who are less important than the talented stars like her (and MJ).

Aeroflotgirl · 23/03/2019 12:11

What was MJ reasons for Police finding indecent images of children in his ranch, and possessing material that known paedophiles use to desensitize children. I suggest that the MJ child abuse apologists read my links.

Billballbaggins · 23/03/2019 12:14

She’s shown what a sick paedo excuser she really is. Vile comments. To be fair, her saying she believed that MJ was a child abuser is good. But the rest: ‘it didn’t kill them.’ Is she high?

Dramatical · 23/03/2019 12:20

Who is it damaging to?

Is this a serious question? Because surely no one in the world is stupid enough to think a comment like that isn't damaging!

Squigglesworth · 23/03/2019 12:26

"People of a different time"? I really don't think this has much to do with her generation. BS is definitely not a typical person and hasn't lived a normal life-- nor would I say she's particularly representative of her generation.

It's much more a matter of her Famous Person bubble. If you're famous/talented enough, a different set of rules apply to you-- and apparently rightly so, in her perspective. Whether she'd openly acknowledge that or not is another matter. She may not even be aware of what she's doing. I doubt she would so blithely excuse child sex abuse from some random "nobody".

Anyway, didn't like her before, so there's no need for me to "cancel" her. She was never especially "valid" to begin with!

Not sure anyone's linked to the Times interview itself, here's a sharetoken link

I see the pedo sympathisers/apologists have arrived.

Fucking hell.

Brizzlemint · 23/03/2019 14:18

Brizzle - you don't mind being a misogynist then?

Not when it comes to Barbra Streisand, no.

Funkaccino · 23/03/2019 14:21

The facts: he wasn't a paedophile
Question for you..

You've met a new man. You ask him what he's up to this weekend.
He says he is having the boys over.

This turns out to mean actual boys (he is not related to) that he keeps in his bed in various states of undress.

Do you A tell him you will see him Monday then.

Or B call the fucking cops?

Be honest.

Tiddler7 · 23/03/2019 14:56

The parents allowed their underaged children to sleep repeatedly with grown up man. They took money for it. How can they not be blamed??? MJ or not, they were there to protect their children. And they failed. Tremendously.

DeadWife · 23/03/2019 14:59

Of course they should be blamed. So should he. Dead or not.

Tiddler7 · 23/03/2019 15:02

Of course! I never said he is not guilty. Far from that. But my parents failed them.

Hyacintharehighersincelasttime · 23/03/2019 16:07

thanks for sharing the article.
most interested in her arranging to collect DNA from her dead/dying dog Shock what a diva!

Hyacintharehighersincelasttime · 23/03/2019 16:08

but aside from that, her opinion on MJ is I still say irrelevant
