The fuck?!? CNN is reporting that Tito's son is being given custody (temporary) of Michael's kids because their mom is being held against her will and because she may be "prevented from acting as a guardian because of the acts of third parties."
Crazy People manipulating you (not in a good way) pretty much nullifies the money. Or worse yet, being raised by these people who then steals all your money.

I don't get it either. The article says
a Los Angeles County sheriff's investigation concluded she was safe in Arizona.
If the sheriff's investigation concluded she was safe, how can the family say she's being held against her will? If that were the case, wouldn't the sheriffs have noticed anything unusual? As with many things involving the Jackson family, this is weird.
That is why I threw it out there. He had no problem wishing death on a man that had less of a connection to protecting a child rapist than the Jacksons.

In Charlie's defense, Jackson was found not guilty while Sandusky was found guilty. I do think Charlie is trolling though,
Yeah, I gotta side with CDS on this one, a bit. There's actual evidence of guilt and a conviction on side, and nothing but supposition and a "not guilty" verdict on the other.
I've always been of the belief that he was innocent, anyway, and that the first accusation was just the parents coming after him for money (shock of shocks, I know). Unfortunately, innocent or not, that one accusation damned him.
Was he entirely right in the head? No, absolutely not. His abusive father and abusive family pretty much scarred him. He never had a "normal" childhood and was never allowed to be a kid because he was too busy being whored out to make money. Which then explains Neverland and wanting to hang out with kids because he tried to have his childhood in his adult life.
If it was ever discovered somehow that he was, unquestionably, molesting those kids, I wouldn't be too surprised. But I'm still willing to belief he was innocent.

Methinks Katherine's kids are making a play for the estate's money. Hell, one of them said they had a plan in place for years to get Katherine out of that house.

I'm not going to get into the "is he guilty" crap since there's not a really easy way to know. The "court of public opinion" is kind of bullshit.
As for JoePa, many lawyers have said on record that he'd probably go to jail if he were still alive based on the Freeh Report alone, much less any official, now hypothetical, investigation by the actual police
Sorry, I try to avoid reading too many Charlie-based rants (and all the counter-rants that come with it) in a single day.
And just because you guys disagree about Joe Pa (or whever that thread ended up) doesn't change the fact that Sandusky was found guilty of an act that the available evidence is suggesting got covered up by people at PSU and that MJ was not.

What does that have to do with wishing Joe Pa dead before the trial started?
And again, it is just Sandusky's fault for not being one of the richest men in America.
Maybe, maybe not. Unless you were the kid in question in the MJ case, all we know for certain is that MJ was found not guilty and Sandusky was. So Charlie is right when he says "alleged" and it absolutely is a differentiator when comparing the two.

I don't think I wished he was dead. I wish he would have lived to see his legacy come crashing down literally and figuratively. To use a terrible nerd metaphor, he died a hero before he could live long enough to become the villain (in his eyes)

Just because you WERE right doesn't mean what you said WAS right.
I honestly don't have a firm opinion on that. I was a little young to be able to follow the trial at all or facts or whatever, and I'm leery of the court of public opinion (that's pretty sure he did it)

The evidence against him was overwhelming. However, because this was just following the Rodney King verdict and the LA riots, people were more affraid of the backlash than dispensing justice.

It didn't help that they guys who did the investigation mishandled the evidence and possibly forged some of it. I'd have acquitted him on those facts alone.
