If Only Joe P Could Moonwalk

People flew off the handle when O.J. Simpson was not guilty of brutally slaying his ex-wife, Nicole and her friend, Ron Goldman.  Thousands rioted in the streets of Los Angeles for six days, when L.A. cops were acquitted of the beating of Rodney King, despite the video evidence.  Or after being bombarded with an avalanche of circumstantial evidence, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee, America went ape-shit.  

These are just three examples of people being presumed guilty after having their fair day in court and society lashing out at the judicial process and how Lady Justice turned a blind eye.  How justice failed the fallen victims of each case.  Yet Michael Jackson, on several occasions, was accused of fondling children, gets overlooked.  He even settled out of court, to avoid further scrutiny, but this apparently isn't a sign of a guilty man, but that of an "innocent man avoiding slander".  I call BULLSHIT!!!

In this society, apparently, if you can put out semi-entertaining music, with a decent beat and some slick dance steps, you can get away with fondling children.  I speculate just how far Michael Jackson could've pushed the envelope to escape persecution from society.

"Hey!  Did you hear Michael Jackson slayed five people and buried them under the monkey cage at Neverland Ranch?"

"Yeah, I did.  But he created the Moonwalk dance, so it's okay!"

Admittedly, there's one or two songs that he put out over his career that are pretty good.  In my opinion, most of his songs are over-rated.  Definitely, not worth looking past his pedophilia for, though.

Last year, Penn State's football coach, Joe Paterno was fired for failing to report the [then] alleged actions of his assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky.  Even though he followed the university's minimum requirement in the handling of the situation, in the end, because he failed to report the incidents to the state police, he was terminated for "covering the situation up".  So this man.  This historical football coach, who lead thousands to college football greatness.  This man who's career accomplishments are second to none, lost his entire legacy due to public opinion.  The record books have been erased and rewritten.  The statue that once graced the hallowed ground in front of Beaver Stadium, was removed in July of 2012.  A truly sad conclusion to a great legacy...  Now..., if Joe Paterno would have been able to Moonwalk out of these allegations and told everyone to "Beat It!", then who knows what might have been.

American Justice is not the one with the blind eye.  It's YOU.  Society.

Water is wet.  The sky is blue.  A tiger can't change it's stripes.  AND, Michael Jackson was a pedophile.
