Why are some people happy that Michael Jackson died? They're so hurtful...


Question Posted Saturday June 27 2009, 7:16 pm

Why do people insist on bashing Michael Jackson after he's died? The man lost his life long before he died! Why can't we just let the King of Pop rest in peace now?

I went to Yahoo! Answers to ask a question about Michael Jackson and people just went nuts over him being a child molester and pedophile and how he tried to kill his youngest child (Prince Michael II) called Blanket. They kept talking about how awful he was and I wasn't even asking a question about that!

Why do people insist on this now? It's only hurting the Michael Jackson fans who are trying to deal with this grief. I feel like I can't talk about him positively without someone coming in and saying how he was such a horrible person and deserved to die. I just don't understand why people seem to be trolling about Michael Jackson at this time--when he JUST died! Help me understand?

Some people just like attention, some people just like to talk. Either way the people "answering" your question probably not trying to personally attack you or your beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

On the other hand, it seems to me that the people I know are suddenly becoming fans after MJ's death. It's like, now that he's dead, he was this great person and the King of Pop and all that jazz, when a month ago no one really cared.

I'm not sure if that answered your question, or had anything to do with your question. Just putting that out there.

Though we might never know what really happened with this specific person, some people consider child molestors the lowest of the low, the scum of the earth. Though he was very talented, sure, it's absolutely ridiculous to ignore this other possible part of his life. For the people who believe it's true, it's very hard to put the fact that he molested a child aside. Phil Spector; great musician, but he killed someone and that's inexcusable.

Because people are horrible and shallow and only see you for the mistakes you make. A lot of people have trouble finding the good in others, and when they see you make a mistake, that is how they define you & you can do all the good in the world, but they won't see it - they'll only see your mistake.

Michael Jackson has made mistakes, but that's because he's human just like everyone else. While some of the stuff he's done has not been normal (i.e. dangling a child off a balcony, or letting kids in his bed with him), he's only human & you cannot blame him for making a mistake.

There is not really any proof of the child molesting mostly because the case was dropped. But that's all people really know him for. I think people care too much about the negative things he's done and haven't really done too much to try and see the positive.

I'm sure Michael Jackson was a good person. He made good music, and was an icon. In all honesty, I feel bad for the man. He was robbed of his childhood by his abusive father which is why he turned out the way he did.

I think that if you're a fan, you should just ignore what people are saying. Don't let what they think stop you from thinking what you do about him. These people should have no effect on you. If they cannot appreciate another human, then you shouldn't care for them. Simple.

Most people in this generation only know Michael as the "child molester" and "bad parent". They didn't know who he was. He was a great and talented person. And yeah, he's made a few mistakes. We're all human. We've all made huge mistakes that lable us for the rest of our lives. The thing is, if you get drunk at a party and pass out, you're known as the Drunk. If you popped some pain killers to get rid of a headache, you're known as the Junkie. If you get pregnant in highschool, you're known as the Slut. I think the reason everyone bashes him is because, even though they've made their fair share of mistakes, they haven't dangles their infant child over a railing with a blanket on his head. Or molested a child. And because they didn't, they insist on making his death an act of karma. They only try to make themselves feel better just because they didn't do what he did. I don't even know the whole story behind those two incidents. That's all I knew him as, too. But I didn't bash him for it. I felt sorry for him. Then after he died, I saw all these great videos of him in concert, and old music videos to "Beat it" and other great songs of his. I know now that he was awesome. What these other people say doesn't matter. It won't affect him anymore. He is, indeed, Resting In Peace. Just ignore all of them, and rejoice that he's finally free from all the hateful rumors and cameras and bashers.
