How very odd. If I ever rode a public bus I would carry a gun. The guy with the knife is lucky to be alive. There are not that many people in south Florida unarmed.

How do you neuter Michael Jackson?
Give him spiked gloves and tell him to sing.

What did Michael Jackson say to Woody Allen?
Got two fives for a ten?

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a Jockey?
A jockey can legally mount 3 year olds

What's the difference between Richard Pryor and Michael Jackson?
Richard got burned on Coke, Michael got burned on Pepsi!

Did you hear about the new charity that Richard Pryor and Michael Jackson sterted? It's called the Ignited Negro College Fund!

Now there's a way to scream "NO, YOU!"

Anyone who sticks up for Michael Jackson deserves to be chased by a person wielding a knife.

This. Also:

When I heard MJ had died, I couldn't believe it. I just sat, repeating to myself "He's dead. He's dead. He's really really dead."

But he was fighting a heart condition; he just couldn't beat it.

He was supposed to start a 55-concert tour. If you're 50 with a heart condtion, you really don't wanna be starting something.

in other news, autopsy was conducted in about three hours but they are going to do further testing so they are with holding the results.

I really wish you weren't. That 'Ignited Negro' joke has been around since the very early 1980's.

Now you run off and find some fresh material, k?

I don't get it, why was the dude with the knife so pissed about MJ being called a great musical talent? I expected the story to be the other way around with some crazed MJ fan going off after he was called a pedo. Had to re-read it to be sure. Was knife guys kid poked by Jackson or something? Or is he the one person in the world that hated Thriller?

on a serious note here, this comment made me wonder, and any farkers here who practice medicine (legal medicine) clarify this. with all the surgeries and work he has had done on himself over the years, is it possible that this could have been a major contributing factor in his death?

oh come on now. just because he ruined his career later in life doesn't mean we can't recognize the fact he had great musical talent back in the day and was the king of pop.

Probably had it in his mind that someone was trying to defend a pedo.

Unless he had an infection then no.

"The bus was moving through the city of North Lauderdale on Thursday when passenger James Kiernan received a text message about Jackson's death on his cell phone, and he read it aloud on the bus, the Broward County Sheriff's Department said.

The unidentified bus driver opined "A hee hee," prompting Kiernan, 60, to retort "Sha-MO-nah," the police report said."

Too bad they both didn't have knives. Then thy could have tied their hands together and had a true fight.

Child molestation is a bit more extreme than "ruining his career".

That's like recognizing princess Diana for only being a school teacher, you don't focus on one part of their life. He was a good singer, then he failed, hard. He refused to gracefully move on. That is who he is.

I wondered the same thing. Seems like Mikey would have been an embolism waiting to happen with all that carving.

qwertypoo: /still think biatches just wanted to extort money from him

so do I. what loving parent in his or her right mind simply walks away from a person who supposedly molested his/her child with money instead of insisting that he go to jail? seriously. if Michael Jackson had molested my child, I wouldn't want his money--I'd want his head on a stick.

Oddly enough, a similar story happened to me, only it was over the death of John Bonham, a school bus, and fists. Apparently, the black kids didn't have the same respect for Led. Different time.

Farrah Fawcett entered the pearly gates and St. Peter greeted her tell her she had a good life and if their was anything she could be granted she had one choice. "I want every child on earth safe." St. Peter says, "Your wish is granted." Michael Jackson dropped dead a few moments later. Badum

A lot of people who do bad things have some endearing values. A lot of the worst criminals like serial killers or rapists are able to keep that part of their life secret and do a great job of being a good person in every other way. But if someone makes the choice to commit acts like that, and child molestation, they give up the right to be remembered in any other way but a monster. And just to Godwin the thread, Hitler was a painter. But history doesn't remember him for his artwork. Michael Jackson may have been a singer, and even a good singer. But he doesn't deserve to be remembered as anything but a child molester.

 
bikkurikun [TotalFark] 2009-06-27 01:46:21 AM  
Why would anyone announce on a bus that Michael Jackson died. A celebrity died, so farking what?

A terrorist attack, the assasination or death of a president, a massive earthquake, an alien invasion, those are things you would like to announce. A dead celebrity is NOT important news.

You can never be sure, but to me he was just too much of an easy target, a magnet for people who want to pull shiat like that. I don't know what to think TBH, but it's just my opinion he was innocent.

I could not agree with you more. Yet, our enlightened here could espouse nothing more than 'rest in peace' and 'fare-the-well'; truly a sad commentary on the current state of humanity.

If the victim was a true Michael Jackson fan, when the other passenger pulled out the knife, he should have beat it.
