Okey, as I've said before on other sites, I don't think Murray killed MJ. Well, technically he did, but I think there's so much more behind MJ's death. The world killed him. The pressure he has been facing his entire life, the press chasing him everywhere, lack of privacy and the evil way he was treated by the media. I think these are very important factors.
There was a reason why he couldn't sleep at night. Murray is the one we put all the blame on, because he made huge mistakes as a doctor. But as human beings, didn't other people make mistakes too?
I just can't blame Murray for Michael's death. It feels so wrong. I can see how other fans can, but to me it's not right to balme ONE MAN when the entire world treated him cruel.
I know what you mean, but I'm still holding on to what I said. I may be naive, but there is just no way I can blame Murray, because there is so much more behind this than Murray givin' him Propofol, I think.
I feel really bad for the man, and I wish people didn't hate him so much. Of course, I understand the anger and frustration, but when fans scream 'murder' after him when he goes to court, it makes me very sad.
I feel bad for his children as well, and it's not like I'm taking Murray's side.. I guess I'm just a person without the skill to hate people.
I don't think you're the first person to find it sad when fans freak out and scream and tweet all sorts of 'm' words. Kenny Ortega got that 'treatment' and while all fans share the pain- screaming 'murderer' in front of a court building is more reminiscent of wild mobs, than of 'justice'.
You don't have to hate anyone. It's also very disturbing to me when people write things that amount to death threats, and hopes that he please lose all legal representation- a VERY disturbing idea if you were to apply that thought across the board particularly since fans are the ones bemoaning the lack of equality and impartiality that Michael faced.
But: a crime was committed as stated by the Coroner's report, 'death at the hands of another'. While the world tortured him, Michael Jackson didn't die because the anonymous world killed him, although it sure seems that those that tortured him, had all intentions to accomplish that.
Crime is crime and that is why this gal here is supposed to be blind.
A crime was committed and pretty much in 'the name of the people' it's essential that crimes are being investigated and those thought of having had a part/hand/responsibility in the crime are being tried.
And it simply means that ALL should be equal- they should share the same rights and if a crime has been committed than a crime needs to be investigated, no matter who died and what has happened before that crime. It doesn't matter if someone on death row is being murdered by a fellow inmate, a child or Michael Jackson. Impartiality.
The laws of many countries are demanding that all citizens be treated equally- nowhere does it state that crime should not be fully investigated because the VICTIM had a shitty life and that persecution of a crime should not happen because others have treated the VICTIM unfairly prior to the crime.
There are plenty of people who feel that way about dead prostitutes being found dead- aaaah, 'just a whore'. NO! Last I checked the law provides for all crime to be investigated and prosecuted.
Dragging the innocent Michael Jackson through a farce of a trial was an abuse of office- and not investigating and prosecuting in the death of MJ would also be abuse of power and public office.
Contrary to some folks the trial against Murray is also not some kind of 'revenge' for having dragged MJ through the legal mud.
One doesn't have to be full of anger and/or hatred to be in full support of the main suspect to be tried.
I would never scream 'murderer' at anyone simply because everyone deserves a fair trial, forcing people to walk through a narrow lane were people hold tar and feathers is not cool.
At the same time expressing support for MJ is also not the same as tarring and feathering someone, but I guess the lines are very blurry for some.
Regardless of legal issues it feels to me like stepping on Michael, if I were to say, who gives a $^%&, you were long dead before. That is not my call to make.
I admire that Michael overcame this adversity and simply lived. Most people would have jumped off the next balcony having been put through through that witch hunt.
I cannot fathom the pain Michael dealt with for years and years and years.
However HE was the one that valued his life enough to carry on.
Others were salivating to see him in jail and put on 'suicide watch'. He did not do these shark that favor- he went on.
He had his precious family, children whom he obviously adored and who love him and he had plans.
He's also an artist who wanted his 'last curtain call' and who wanted to move on to other means of artistic expression.
His life was taken from him, just when he was reemerging from that nightmare that spanned more than a decade. To first attempt to ruin his life- and then take it from him is cruel. He had things to do and he has 3 minor children who should not be having to deal with this.
The fact that others treated him cruelly doesn't lessen the crime Michael Jackson actually died from.
A crime was committed, nobody should fear that kind of outcome by trusting their physician. :bugeyed
Laws apply regardless of personal opinions we have- and that's a good thing.
