Michael Jackson: Child Molester

Wow - what a disgusting past few days.

Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" - dies at 50 most likely due to some kind of OD. For several days now every news outlet is celebrating his life as though he is some kind of role model or great celebrity.

The coverage over the past few days, in addition to making me want to puke on my shoes, makes me question (again) - how did our society get to a point that an individual such as this is held up as some kind of hero?

Michael Jackson was a sick, perverted individual with no excuse for his CHOICES regarding children. I have no problem with his skin lightening, plastic surgery, or anything else he chose to do in his personal life. But his choice and taste to molest children put him in the same category as certain Catholic Priests - in a position of control, in a private setting, he had his way.

I'm sick and tired of society and the media giving a "pass" to child molesters and sickos. Even Fox News has joined in this practice of late, and it's disgusting. Watching interviews with his friends, all of whom say we should not focus on his "shortcomings" or "mistakes"?

I beg to differ - child molesting is not a "shortcoming" or "mistake" - it's an unforgivable act conducted by and adult against a child. It's a decision, followed by an act. As both an adult and a parent, my solution to child molesters is an immediate death sentence, carried out by the parents and/or family of the victim, and in the manner of their choosing.

I'm sure if this sentence were carried out once or twice most child molesters would confine themselves to fantasy, videos, the web, or some other cheap form of "thrill" instead of actually going after a child.

But in our society it seems to be perfectly acceptable and expected that these "people" are allowed, even expected, to perform their sick perversions while the rest of us make excuses, find them "treatment" so they can be "rehabilitated" - or worse, have our "justice system" intervene and get them acquitted all together.

Michael Jackson was, at the very least, a seriously perverted individual. It would be one thing if his "taste" was for other adults - but it wasn't - it was for children. There is no way to ignore or excuse this behavior, and EVERYONE who does is as sick as this freak was.

Good Riddance you sick bastard.
