In actuality, did we kill Michael?

Most superstars, like Elvis, got the chance to enjoy his fame. Fans stayed loyal throughout his life, his death and after his death. The little boy from Gary, Indiana came into our lives in the sixties and totally blew us away. Never had we heard a child sing so well. If that was not enough, he went solo and took both music, dancing and performing to an all time knew level. He set the standard for music videos in the nineties. Not once did we see what was really going on with him as Joe's Victim. Not once did we acknowledged that this is an abusive child. So he, Michael, reached out to the two things he missed the most which were animals and children. He spent a fortune on Neverland Ranch, so children could have what he did not. When Michael needed us to believe in him, we vilified him. We called him Jacko and child molester for years and said all manner of demoralizing things about him. The stress he endured for over thirty years should have killed him in the eighties. The shame he felt and the rejection from the very people he was trying to entertain was overwhelming. Not only was he found not guilty of any crime, the boys are now saying they lied. How convenient! Michael is now dead!!! He did not die from a drug overdose, for taking drugs is just a symptom of something greater that is on the inside. Michael died from National rejection. It is ironic that he was trying to comeback by holding concerts in Europe. He wanted to win the approval of Americans again but to no avail. Europe and the rest of the world NEVER JUDGED Michael, only this country. The world outside our doors loved Michael, and he often went there for a reprive. You can believe the lie all you want about how drugs did him in. No human can take what he went through and make it. I believe with all my heart Michael called out to God on several occasions because God is all he had. Today, millions of hypocrites who scorned him during his life time shed tears. He does not need your sympathy now!!!! MAY GOD ALLOW ALL THOSE WHO CONDEMNED AN INNOCENT MAN TO FEEL WHAT MICHAEL FELT FOR DECADES. He was a performer, but most of all he was a human. Michael was totally rejected by his father the first part of his life then by America the latter part. After which, he simply died. Bye, bye Michael! Who would have predicted that a little boy from Gary would become the best entertainer this world has ever known?

    Very deep. And this thought has crossed my mind numerous times, and reading what you wrote, reading what you've said and KNOWING how many people that CLAIM to be his fans now, but turned their backs on him when he needed support the most from the world... they have NO right to weep now. No right to act as if they truly cared about Michael, because if they did, they would have never turned their back on him, never would have called him names like "Wacko Jacko" (which makes my blood boil everytime someone calls him that), wouldn't have made jokes about him (like a couple of disgusting newspaper articles I read on June 26th with jokes combining his death and the allegations against him).

    I think Michael died from an overdose of drugs, I think he took drugs not just for his physical pain, but his emotional pain too. Keep in mind, it's been stated numerous times that Michael had a very LOW tolerance for pain - that's physical and emotional. Personally, I do believe that Michael's pain came from the horrid backslash that people gave to him. It's a true tragedy and it hurts my heart to know how hurt Michael was. I was one of few I know who never made a single hurtful joke, who never once called him "Wacko Jacko" or any other sickening name they called him, one of few I know who never turned their back on Michael.

    So to answer your question, do I believe that "WE" killed Michael? No. Not all of us. But I DO believe that those who were so quick to turn their backs on him, that the media and the tabloids and the name calling and everything else, emotionally devestated Michael. I believe that the horrid child abuse allegations broke him down emotionally and mentally, to the point where he may have relied on prescription painkillers to become his "escape", an "escape" and unfortunately and ultimately, he succumbed to.

    I can only hope, that for a single split second while on this Earth, Michael knew how much he was loved universally, how much his TRUE fans all over the world supported him and loved him greatly.

    No, I don't think so and really Hope not! I am really ashamed to be from the same state as him. I would send some terrible mail to the NFL if they let him back and I consider myself a Good Christian Woman! He should be put in a Dog Pen with some Pit Bulls and Rottweilers that have been trained to eat a certain Michael Vick. Would be Poetic Justice. Dontcha think? I got a T-shirt that reads My dog hates Michael Vick on the back. Everyone loves it.

    That little boy from Gary, Indiana is not the same person who died on June 25th. That little boy never grew up and his fans are not the reason he died. He died because he couldn't handle the demons in his life. He died because he didn't seek help to fight those demons. What he did was get countless numbers of plastic surgeries, change his skin color, and abuse prescription drugs. How do you know what Michael felt? Are you God? And who are you to judge anybody? You're no better than the people you are talking about.

    Yeah,I think we did. Sad,isn't it,that we are so hateful towards people that we don't even know personally? I have said that he was weird,but now I really do not think he ever did anything to a child other than love them. Like you said,he had no childhood and so he wanted to give other kids a place where they could realize their wildest dreams. So many people have spoken well of him,and said that they left their kids with him many times and trusted him. If they thought he was a child molester,I doubt that they would have let the kids stay with him.I feel so bad for his kids.

    Those who ridiculed him and made him out to be this child molesting monster killed him. I always loved him and never believed any of the lies. When he died i felt like i lost a member of my own family. So no we didnt kill him they did!

  • 1 decade ago

    i dont think the public killed him, mainly cuz the general public didnt have a straight trip to him on a large scale like tabloids do, they could send him mail tho

    i think the media had a hand in it, they never gave him a break. They didnt even act like he was a person, they just tore him up in their articles...now they take a 360 and are printing tributes, jeez, like Michael said, they print what sells

    they raised him up to the highest point and just destroyed him to pull him back down....with that, we need to look and see: was that really truely worth it? is money worth just destroying a person? i dont care if people say well he brought it on himself. What if those stories werent wrote about him? we wouldnt think he was weird then

    fans were always there, and we still will be for forever, we will always enforce the facts, and inform people about how good Michael was, how he was caring toward everyone

    one thing i think that happened was this...

    he was in pain-maybe real physical pain, maybe mental pain, maybe imagined pain soo he took pain killers-serious pain killers not like tylenol

    i also think he took a drug to get energized up and then one to sleep since he was soo pumped up from the drugs to get him out of sleep mode and good to go for the stage he needed something to calm him down

    so i think he was abusing that and it just took its toll on the 25th

    i just don't understand how the people around him totally missed it and didnt see it at all, he had to put on one heck of a shield

    i think it can be put on many people. Doctors, friends who knew he had a serious problem but did nothing about it

    people could have reached out, instead of Michael having to reach out to them first...i think people should have been there for him all the time

    the trials, the suings, he had over 1000 times he was sued, that is just astounding, incredible, rediculous

    he always had to deal with that, it was crazy

    what if those 2 cases were never brought up, what if the liers didnt shove that down our throats? we would think totally different of the man. 2 families made many label Michael as something he is Not..its incredible when you just think about that, esp when it was all a lie

    the pressure and stress and lifestyle of being that famous definately had to have an effect. Pressure to always be amazing, to always be outstanding and just blow everyone away, the stress of trying to cure every problem and show everyone what we need to focus on and be dedicated to that all the time.

    always wondering if he could really trust someone with info and feelings and if they were really looking out for his best interest

    if you think about it, its just unimaginable how difficult his life was though every route possible...the thing he did know was his kids and his mother and his true friends, he loved the stage because its where he could do what he loved and not have to worry about life and its difficulties

    I think he wanted to be perfect with everything reguardless that everyone else expected soo much from him but with everything put under a microscope for everything he does, how does someone handle that normally??

    Source(s): ok im done, ill quit adding stuff haha as you can see i could totally go on for forever

    Hey where was Tiger Woods...Michael Jordan....Oprah....President Obama..Don't worry ....Rev Al/Jesse Jackson?Kings and the rest of the Media prostitutes jumped on board the Circus Tent(I believe they were bringing elephants into the Staple Center early prior to Services) ........... to sing the praises of a great African American..despite the fact he spent the majority of his adulthood denouncing his ethnicity......Bleaching his skin white............until he was accused of child molestation.......then reverted ala OJ...Great Entertainer....suspect Human Being........(OJ was a great football player too) ......neither were ever convicted.......great DAD with the Drug Addiction while caring for his Kids......He was the original "Elephant Man"

  • Michael Jackson's death was inevitable. We all die. I didn't expect him to go so soon but he was into hardcore perscription drugs.

    In actuality, Michael's drug use killed him. But unlike other drug addicted stars and starlets, we never saw this one coming. No one knew Michael was using central nervous anestetics.
