Re: Prelim tomorrow-All discussion here
thank you. i remember when all the fans were like lambs. they were exemplary in their behavior, they were sweet. they were everything you could ask, at the molestation trial. what did police do? send dogs after them, beat them with police clubs, hit female fans in the throat and knock them to the ground. remember? Janet and Michael looking out the window and being shocked and horrified at the treatment of the fans by officials?
so what kind of behavior are fans being asked to do, that will satisfy everybody? it won't make a difference. no matter how the fans behave, they will be 'misrepresented' in the eyes of media and haters. it is what comes with being a Michael Jackson fan.
so we should give ourselves some help, by understanding and giving leeway to each other, because we are all we have. and nothing will stop us from supporting Michael. that's how his legacy and his fanbase, through it all, has lasted so long. that's how the lasting will continue. (now, i am NOT including, in my post, those 'fans' who use MJ's name to bed women and take advantage of them on sites, and outside the internet)
You know how I appreciate your thoughts. Once again,very well said. Fans have been violently forced to become heroes here. My heart goes out to each and every one.
Since MJ passed, I have always felt that fans are sitting on the defendent's bench rather than Murray..They've been on the medialoid spotlight in Michael's place since Michael left..And after him and his kids, I am aware that fans are the 3rd row of VICTIMS suffering the consequences of this murder. And hearts struggling in pain easily fall on emotional rollercoaster, letting the ego take over for a while.
It's a hard game to play. And I know media would come out against us just like they did for Mike even if there was exemplary conduct in court.
