Re: Tribute and the constitution


Gwester843 See this is How i see it This country this great country in our court system a Man is supposed to be innocent until proven Guilty, There are aspects of the case that we don't know about the jury was presented all that evidence and they felt the Boy and his parents was lying. Now who are we to say that that man did something to that boy ? If MJ touched that boy then i hope he burns in hell as i have children and if someone touches mine life as they know it will be over, But i don't think he did it see people have there one sided Very slanted views and if they say a person is guilty then hey they must be guilty. Now someone made reference to Obama and MJ having to face god for there faults and that is true But what is this Carma thing ?? Because Obama is the President ? They say we have come a long way But i feel people in most cases have learned to Hide the way they feel about other people which is Crazy and scary because there are a lot of people on this Bar i see everyday and will fight in the trenches with and to think that they may feel a way about me that i don't know about is Scary. the guinness World Record book remembers Michael Jackson instead as the king of charity.

The millennium issue listed the music legend under Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star, with a staggering 39 internationa lorganizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society.   Those are only the known ones however, as Jackson was also prone to giving away impulsively and anonymously.  

Jackson had been known to hand over the proceeds from concerts to local charities and hospitals as he did with the History tour in Bombay, or donate personal items for auction to organisations like UNESCO.   It’s been estimated he has given up to $500 million to charity in his lifetime.

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009.He was known as the undisputed King of Pop. His musical legacy was profound. In many of his songs, he sang about acceptance. The most  notable was “Black or White”, "Man In The Mirror" as well as “They Don’t Care About Us”. Michael Jackson wrote “Gone Too Soon”in honor of pediatric AIDS victim Ryan White. He also did a lot of work with charities. And many of these charities help special needs children.

The following is a list of charities he pubilicly helped in his life that was taken from AllMichaelJackson.com:
