Picking on him for being different is no different than doing it to anybody. It's wrong in any scenario, with any person.
If you mean the fact that it was proposed he touched kids inappropriately; he was cleared of all charges, multiple times. The fact that he paid off one of the accusers does not reflect badly on him, but on the parents for taking it. It's entirely likely that HE wanted it to just be over, whilst they obviously only wanted money.
So what exactly do you think made him worthy of being "****ed with"? You say it's nothing personal, but if that be the case, then why suggest he deserves to be ****ed with for things that were nobody's business?
At times, I admit, he didn't help himself (The baby dangling incident), but so what? People were gonna **** with the guy regardless.
There are people here who have openly critiqued you for your choice of aged female and your romantic situations. People here have found it weird that you'd go for a girl 10 years (?) or more younger than you, but what business is it of anybody's, so long as you are happy, she is happy, and nobody is being harmed? NOBODY'S business. That's what. Afford Jackson the same courtesy or be quiet.

Now what you are talking about, is "was he a child molestor"...right?Well there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he was. Yes.
Like what? His "unnatural obsession" with children? That's all it was, at worst. That's all we have evidence of, and that is none of our business.
Some people love furries, who gives a shit? They're not hurting anyone. If his "unnatural obsession" lead to nothing more than letting them spend time at his ranch and lavishing them with adoration and gifts, then let his behavior be a lesson to the kind of parents who sent their kids there in hopes of conning the man out of his money. Because there's nothing wrong with that.
There isn't enough evidence to suggest that a leap from "He loved kids too much." and "He abused them sexually." is a fine one to make, fact.
Loving children that aren't your own does not make you a paedophile.
Furthermore, it worries me that people continue to insist or persist with the idea that he was. Like, you'd think it would be pleasing to see that courts didn't have enough credible evidence or testimony to convince themselves he was guilty, but no. It's almost as if they feel it's a shame he wasn't a paedophile, because then they'd have "got" him.

Well the evidence that Jackson feared coming to light in the Chandler case was damning.16 million dollars worth of damning.
So the analogy stands.
Really?
Scenario: Michael Jackson abused your child. How much could you be paid off for? 10 mill, 16 mill, none?
Precisely. If you are after justice, no money can pay you off unless it's what you were after in the first place.
So, no. The pay off doesn't prove anything other than Jackson wanting the trial over, which could be for MANY reasons, some of them innocent. It also proves that the parents of Chandler were willing to let it be over for 16 million, and that proves that they're ****ing scumbag liars.
