RIP Michael Jackson

so i wake up and i see this on twitter:

"oh no; MJ's in Hospital"
"RIP Michael Jackson"

and etc

i was honestly shocked by the news and the fact that it was unconfirmed at first, but gradually fiction was turning into fact.

but here's the thing.

amidst the tweets and status updates of condolence there were some of these:

"good riddance to that pedophile"
"ding dong the freaky freak is dead"

really?
the man is DEAD

leave him alone already. (i'm not gonna go chris crocker but hear me out)

he influenced alot of things. he was one of the first to make music videos that was like a movie (best eg THRILLER). he popularized popping and locking; and i'm not gonna say he "Invented" the moon walk cos he didnt - he just renamed it and popularized it. (it's called the glide btw)

he freaking wrote some of the best pop songs known to man. he was one of the best performers out there, he was a singer, dancer, song writer... he was THE Package.

a death is a death. no matter how bad the person is; their life does not mean any less than that of someone with a better reputation. i agree he's made tremendous mistakes but the fact of the matter is that a man has died. would you want someone to remember you through your faults or your achievements?

i can tell you that he shouldnt have changed his looks so much, i can tell you that he shouldnt have done those things that he's now so famous for, but i can tell you this.

God loves him as much as he loves you.

everyone is equal to His eyes; and for that - i'm not gonna celebrate that an accused pedophile and over all mess has died.

i'm going to mourn that another human being has passed on.



RIP Michael Jackson,
You'll be Missed.

Those paedo jokes I saw being made on Facebook seriously made me sick.

I personally never believed that he molested any kid ...

He claims to have only had 2 surgeries but I guess I don't believe that.
But I do believe he has vitiligo.

But none of that matters now.

If people don't wanna pay respects to him, that's fine.
They just need to keep their mouths shut cos some of the stuff they are saying is just disgusting.

Well said Ralphie. I actually haven't seen any of those hateful comments on twitter or facebook yet, and i'm actually REALLY glad because that is so disrespectful.

Michael was a great man, and really it is sad that his death came all of a sudden. it's been a sad afternoon for all of us.

I don't know about you guys but I am in a bit denial by the fact that MJ is dead.
