In reply to the discussion: Michael Jackson and Michael Vick. It's amazing how some people can't let shit go. [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)137. Do rape victims ever get to "let it go"? Your OP is offensive.
Do the victims of rape, especially by a wealthy pop star, ever get to "let it go"?
Dozens of young men will live the rest of their lives with what MJ did to them and then paid their parents to cover up.
According to new reports this week, pop icon Michael Jackson paid $35 million over the course of 15 years to cover up his pedophilia. Secret FBI files, the Daily Mirror (UK) reports, show that Jackson shelled out that cash to silence at least two dozen young boys
. Agents have thousands of pages of evidence dating back to 1989 indicating Jacko groomed and molested children sometimes right under the noses of their starstruck parents.
Actually, the documents show more than that. They show that some of the parents were willing accomplices in the sexual exploitation of their own children. Jackson was apparently once caught by a member of his staff groping a child star; another time he was caught watching child pornography while touching another child; a third time, he was caught grasping at the genitals of a different child in his movie theater. The mother of one of these kids was in the theater at the time, supposedly unaware of all of this. Overall, at least 17 boys were abused, according to the files.

Having the parents participate in the rapes takes it to whole other level (if that is even possible).
Society has a responsibility to protect children from monsters like Jackson and Sandusky. We should never forget how these two operated with the acquiescence of those around them.
Just follow the money and BELIEVE THE CHILDREN. (and please stop telling MJ's rape victims to get over it)

No, of course not. That's the thing. On the one hand, I don't doubt Jackson behaved inappropriately

Sometimes it suits people to not let go. It helps them keep their moral high ground...

I'm not in a position to forgive either one, as neither did anything to me. It's up to their victims

It seems to me, in the case of Michael Jackson, to be pretty much either/or.

I'm kicking this because it's the goofiest goddamn thing I've ever read, and I believe in sharing.

Sorry, CatWoman, but Vick was immersed in a long standing ring of horrific animal abuse
