    There’s a really weird amount of defense and sympathy for the estate of a rich dead child molester in this thread.

      Yeh. Innocent or guilty I wouldn’t leave my kids with him…or any stranger for that fact. The parents are at fault, but he also had some strange behaviour going on.

      You can say oh it used to be like that…no. People knew even then not to leave kids with an adult they have no idea about.

      I like the guys music but that’s it.

    I’d be more inclined to believe the guy who made a bunch of accurate dovumentary films, over the action movie director who stands with Israel.

    I think it’s not so black and white but some sortvof uncomfortable gray. What I do know is that these guys like money more than they actually care about this.

    I seem to remember Jackson had a bunch of chimes and stuff set up to warn him of anyone approaching his bedroom. Does anybody have a reference for that?

      I read over the evidence years ago, it was alarming.

      Speaking of alarms.

      He had this long hallway rigged to play loud noises and flash lights in his room when someone was walking in the hall so he would never be surprised.

    My understanding, some parts of the documentary had to be cut, due to legal agreements made with the settling parties.

    Jackson had a pretty eventful life so I could forgive the filmmakers if they had chosen to avoid that stuff to focus on a specific period of it. The problem is that they had it all ready to go and then cut it due to legal difficulties. That’s inevitably going to lead to a misleading characterisation, which is extremely problematic considering the severity of the allegations against Jackson.
