Michael Jackson

Yeah 1 sided, an account of what happened from one side of the story. He was also proven not guilty in a court, where that one side gave a testimony under oath to say he was innocent.

They could’ve quite easily added accounts to the documentary from both Culkin and the other lad who testified for MJs innocence.

They also didn’t go in depth into reported stories that both the lads are in it for money.

I’m not saying he’s innocent at all as he was a proper weirdo with children, it’s all just a bit dodgy (especially the Wade side of it). The guy who produced the movie has even admitted that all his evidence is circumstantial.
The Birmingham 6 were proven guilty in a court of law.
 

I think you've answered your own question.

I just don’t buy the argument that Jackson’s defenders believe in the sanctity of court decisions more than anyone else or that they are supporting him against mob rule.

There was no similar support for Saville and there isn’t for R Kelly. You could even use Shamima Begum as an example. None of these people have been found guilty of anything in court but none have the same level of support as Michael Jackson.

What is your reason for defending him and not the others? If it’s that he wrote some good songs with a decent beat that’s fine but it must come with an acceptance that you are overlooking, at best, some pretty suspect behaviour.
 
Just got around to finishing Finding Neverland.

Don’t think there’s any doubt he had a very unhealthy infactuatuon with young boys.

However I don’t think this doc offers anything in the way of evidence and the 2 lads (especially the aussie one) don’t come across as credible at all. It’s like he was trying to offer sound bytes that were as shocking as possible without offering anything of evidential value.

Was he a nonce of galactic proportions? Most likely, yes.
If I had kids myself I wouldn’t let them even let them into the same country as this man, much less in his bed.

But...

Did he actually act on that and fiddle with these kids? I don’t think we’ll ever know the answer to that question in all honesty.
I’ll still listen to his music though. Not even arsed, he gets the ‘Pete Townsend’ pass from me :lol:

Because for the other 2, theres no clear financial motive, and no evidence pointing to the contrary mate. I'm not over looking anything, in fact it's the opposite - it's his detractors who are doing just that. With Jackson, there was a massive, multi-million dollar investigation by the FBI, they found nothing. People watch the documentary and assume they are telling the truth because it's bad, without knowing any kind of back story or counter argument because that's the entire point of it - it's a hatchet job aimed at causing a siege mentality.

R Kelly literally recorded himself noncing and keeps women and girls hostage. Saville was an open secret at the BBC for decades and everyone knew, yet literally hundreds closest to Jackson including other kids defend him.

Like you say, its mob rule.

Same with MJ
 
Do you have any links to that mate? can't find anything myself. All I can find is tabloid gossip regarding the 2 in the documentary.

1. There is no dispute that, at age 34, Michael Jackson slept more than 30 nights in a row in the same bed with 13-year-old Jordie Chandler at the boy’s house with Chandler’s mother present. He also slept in the same bed with Jordie Chandler at Chandler’s father’s house. The parents were divorced.


2. So far, five boys Michael Jackson shared beds with have accused him of abuse: Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia, Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Jimmy Safechuck. Jackson had the same nickname for Chandler and Arvizo: “Rubba.” He called Robson “Little One” and Safechuck “Applehead.”

3. Jackson paid $25 million to settle the Chandlers’ lawsuit, with $18 million going to Jordie, $2.5 million to each of the parents, and the rest to lawyers. Jackson said he paid that sum to avoid something “long and drawn out.” Francia also received $2.4 million from Jackson.

4. Michael Jackson suffered from the skin discoloration disease vitiligo. Jordie Chandler drew a picture of the markings on the underside of Jackson’s penis. His drawings were sealed in an envelope. A few months later, investigators photographed Jackson’s genitalia. The photographs matched Chandler’s drawings.

5. The hallway leading to Jackson’s bedroom was a serious security zone covered by video and wired for sound so that the steps of anyone approaching would make ding-dong sounds.

6. Jackson had an extensive collection of adult erotic material he kept in a suitcase next to his bed, including S&M bondage photos and a study of naked boys. Forensic experts with experience in the Secret Service found the fingerprints of boys alongside Jackson’s on the same pages. Jackson also had bondage sculptures of women with ball gags in their mouths on his desk, in full view of the boys who slept there.

7. According to the Neverland staff interviewed by the Santa Barbara authorities, no one ever saw or knew of a woman spending the night with Michael Jackson, including his two spouses, Debbie Rowe or Lisa Marie Presley. Rowe, the mother of two of Jackson’s children, made it clear to the Santa Barbara authorities that she never had sex with Jackson.

8. The parents of boys Jackson shared beds with were courted assiduously and given myriad expensive gifts. Wade Robson’s mother testified in the 2005 trial that she funneled wages through Jackson’s company and was given a permanent resident visa. Jimmy Safechuck’s parents got a house. Jordie Chandler’s mother got a diamond bracelet.

9. Two of the fathers of those who have accused Jackson, Jordie Chandler and Wade Robson, committed suicide. Both were estranged from their sons at the time.

10. In a 2002 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson told Martin Bashir there was nothing wrong with sharing his bed with boys.
 
Items that were recovered from Neverland during police raid. Im not saying it makes him a nonce....but he was a bad nonce!
