Just my two cents...
It could be Dr. _______ and I would feel the same. The only reason I feel a sense of release, perhaps mistaken as joy, is because Michael's death is finally being OFFICIALLY, UNDENIABLY attributed to another person and not to a character flaw of MJ. Until now, regardless of the release of the homicide ruling, or stating MJ's passing was 'death at the hands of another', almost all articles I read about MJ still say, "...died June 25th from a drug overdose." That statement is only a half truth and implies that Michael did the administration of the drugs, akin to suicide.
I believe that with this arrest, it is possible for people to see Michael's death as the tragedy and loss that it is. Michael DIDN'T overdose. He was GIVEN an overdose. He was let go, literally let go and dismissed from this earth by another human being. This other human being had one of the most serious and important jobs there is and yet he failed. He dismissed Michael and his actions define negligence. Did he intend to kill Mike? I doubt it. What good has it done him?
The problem with life is that we are all human, even Michael. And humans make mistakes. Sometimes they are silly and stupid and sometimes they derail a train and take the lives of hundreds. L. O. V. E. All else is irrelevant. Michael would not hate this man. I know this from knowing Michael. It's a hard concept to stomach, agreed.
Jail time? Who knows? I am more concerned with dignity and Mike's legacy.
We fans, including me, were livid. We bitched and moaned every moment at all of the haters and media that were waiting and wanting for nothing more than a picture of Michael in handcuffs in 2005. I will not join that disgusting club. Why would I emulate or parrot the actions, desires, hatred, and ignorance of those I feel are lost. To do the same as they did to Mike would define me as a hypocrite. Regardless of their ignorance, certain people believed in Michael's guilt as strongly as we do in the guilt of Dr. Murray. In the end did it help either one of us? No. We're all still here and life is waiting for us. I for one, am not going to wait around to see what happens to Murray. He'll get what he deserves in the end. I am sure of this. I also am sure that I do not know anything. How anyone is positive of exactly what happened that night is a mystery to me. I'm pointing out that there are 10 trillion possibilities of the truth and none of us, NONE of us know what that is. Try to look at the situation as it is. Nothing you do, no matter how angry you get, even if you were to attack Dr. Murray and scream insults at him 24/7, it will not do what we all want...bring Michael back to life. Sadly, the time is past. The rest of this crap is all cleanup. Our man is gone and I have as hard a time accepting it as anyone else. I don't however want to take out my own ignorance of the facts on one man. I'll wait to see what transpires. And yes, I will always hope that Michael is still alive. In a way he is and always will be. Not even Dr. Murray can extinguish Mike's light. It shines to brightly and brilliantly and can never be put out. L. O. V. E. Seriously, L. O. V. E. Mike didn't say that as a new catch phrase. HE MEANT IT. Now I choose to honor him by living in L. O.V. E.
