Yeah, he was a good looking guy when he was black...I was surprised that he was still kinda black when I saw the pic of him on the stretcher.
That's exactly what I said, and he actually looked human :/.
I don't believe he molested those kids. The parents let their kids stay with him even after the first case. They toured his house (not finding it odd that the only bed there was his). Even still, his bed could sleep 40 grown men shoulder to shoulder... I don't think I believe they ever made contact. These boys pleaded to stay the night at MJ's. And considering the money it's worth, it's a bit questionable. And all of these kids had charges against OTHER corporate moneyholders in the US (how many times can you be molested?).
Mike was a kid, I don't think he truly took sex seriously. I mean, I can't even believe his children are his (white skinnededed babies with blond hair and blue eyes!?). With the estrogen he was taking, I doubt his pieces worked well anyways, and he probably wasn't pent up enough to want to have sex.
Dude spent his life trying to look like a kid because his father made him believe he couldn't be successful as a man, that he needed to be a child. He looked like a kid. The guy wanted to be a kid (you don't have a chimpanzee and a fair at your house to seduce kids, you have it because you're a kid). And I don't think he saw what he was doing as questionable activity. It was all in charity and to grant dying wishes of cancer patients, kids who were struggling, just like he did/was.
And these kids are all healthier now than ever.
Also, for those saying Mike wasn't a role model... he's in the Guinness Book of WORLD Records as participating (donating the bulk of the cash) in more charities (37) than any other celebrity or athlete. The guy was a HUMANITARIAN beyond what most of the world is.
And the hanging the baby over the railing thing... he had COMPLETE control of that child. Only thing that made it controversial was that the baby kicked it's feet, which they do when they don't feel their legs touching something (if you've ever interacted with a baby, you'd know that). It wasn't in fear of it's life, or slipping, or anything of the sort. Mike had complete control of his child, and if it was a problem, protective services WOULD HAVE taken the kid away, but they didn't, so there's NOTHING to be made of the story.
