Fans Mourn Jacko's Passing
Posted on Thu Jun 25, 2009 10:18 PM PDT



After news of Jackson's hospitilization -- reported HERE on X17online first -- lead to news of the King of Pop's death, more and more fans gathered at UCLA Medical Center this afternoon.
Reports said some fans tried to storm the hospital to catch a final glimpse of the pop icon, while other blared Jackson's music from stereos on the hospital lawn.
Meanwhile, at Jackson's Beverly Hills home, police had to close access to the entire street from Sunset Blvd. after fans overwhelmed the road, stopping traffic and bothering residents.
A group of fans gathered at Michael's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to lay flowers on the street, sing songs, and share stories.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Jackson's childhood home in Gary, Indiana, according to the AP.
The marquee outside the Apoloo Theater in New York read "In memory of Michael Jackson, a true Apollo Legend, 1958 - 2009."
At the Glastonbury Festival in England, concert goers applauded as Jackson's music was played over the speakers.
Here was the scene at UCLA after the news broke ...
And outside Jackson's LA home ...

Seeing all this, we probably deserve to be blown up by North Korea on the 4th of July.
and whitehouse is holding a luau.
Wow, those people seriously need to get a life. It was way sadder when Luciano Pavarotti (someone with REAL talent) died, but not this fool.
And two more soldiers died today and this pervert gets mourned!
Peter Pan pervert
n ooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Respect the dead, God will now judge Michael Jackson, not "Jacko," the man not the celebrity, respect the dead.
Please! Give me a break. Child molester. Pervert. Alienated his kids from their mother. He was self-centered victim of his own self-hatred. Hopefully Debbie can get her kids back now.
Michael Jackson: Commentary By Kurt Loder
Lovable eccentric? Persecuted genius? Child-molesting freak?
Michael Jackson: Lovable eccentric? Persecuted genius? Child-molesting freak?
Take your pick. In fact, it seems that most of us already have.
It's clear that millions of people still love Michael Jackson. Or think they do. Actually, there's no way you can "love" a reclusive multimillionaire you've never met. You may love his music or his videos, but the man himself is more than just the sum of those things. His real thoughts and feelings, and the things he does in private, can't be known at such a distance.
I'd imagine that many of today's younger Michael Jackson fans may respond to his "sensitivity," his cultivated air of limp sweetness: He seems so harmless, only a deeply mean person could suggest he might be capable of inflicting harm. And I wonder if a lot of his older defenders aren't really pledging their allegiance to a Michael Jackson of the past, back when his music mattered and may have played an exciting part in their fondly remembered youth. But that Michael Jackson — especially the handsome, dazzling star of Off the Wall (1979) and Thriller (1982) — is long gone. He's been replaced by somebody else.
There are also those who point to Michael Jackson's undeniable talent as proof of ... well, proof of what? Talent is famously no guarantee of character. In fact, on Thursday, the day that Michael Jackson was arrested, Phil Spector, another reclusive multimillionaire, who transformed the sound of popular music in the early 1960s, was charged with murder in the shooting death of a woman in his home last February. Spector, too, is a talented man. But that doesn't preclude the possibility that he may
last February. Spector, too, is a talented man. But that doesn't preclude the possibility that he may be found guilty of this killing. The two things are unrelated.
So, OK: child-molesting freak? Tabloid journalists — the people who years ago dubbed him "Wacko Jacko" — are clearly panting for Michael Jackson to take a fall this time. They think (and they are not alone in this) that the only reason he wasn't nailed on a child-molestation charge 10 years ago is because he had the multimillions of dollars necessary to buy off his 13-year-old accuser, thus ensuring that no criminal case could be brought against him. His rationale for that payoff — that he just wanted to put the whole unfair mess behind him — was, in this view, preposterous.
We may never know what actually happened between Michael Jackson and young Jordie Chandler back then. And while it's tempting to jump to conclusions about the current case, it's unfair to do so until all the evidence, on both sides, has been presented in court.
However, I don't think this means we can't come to at least one conclusion about Michael Jackson: Any 45-year-old man who regularly goes to bed with pubescent boys — who flaunts his obsession with them in public and even demonstrates and defends it on television (in Martin Bashir's documentary, Jackson, holding hands with a 12-year-old boy whose head is resting on his shoulder, says, "It's what the whole world should do") — is appalling. Can this be a controversial assessment?
If anyone other than the wealthy and willful Michael Jackson were known to be bedding young boys and all but boasting about it, can we doubt that some sort of protective legal action would be taken to put a stop to it? And what if, instead of boys, it were young girls he was having these little overnights with? Might that be seen as
And what if, instead of boys, it were young girls he was having these little overnights with? Might that be seen as somehow more worthy of objection? (Stay tuned for the R. Kelly trial.)
In the past, Michael Jackson has attempted to defend his dallying with children as an innocent way of compensating for his own nonexistent childhood. This isn't entirely persuasive: On Thursday, his brother Jermaine Jackson told CNN that "We had an incredible, wonderful childhood." But that's not the point. Whatever the facts of Jackson's own upbringing, they are irrelevant to what he's doing now. And what he's doing now is disturbing on more than one level. Because if the collecting of children by the rich and powerful is now OK, then what isn't?

It's funny, he dies, everyone cries and somehow forgets that he molested little boys?
Michael Jackson never did a single humanitarian deed in his entire life. All he ever did was build monuments to himself. I will not miss him.
x17 fix your crappy loading engine
If he was a good or bad person.....the man is dead. People, just leave him alone. If you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything. The family has suffered a big loss and calling him "Jacko" and writing nasty things about him will not make it easier on the family. We do not know if he really did the things that he was accused of. Only God knows. Respect the family. Leave the poor man alone.
seriously? 'jacko'.
I don't give a right f**k about Jacko's family. They knew he was groping little boys. They looked the other way.
Debbie Rowe should be able to take her children. Michael Jackson did not provide the sperm for her inseminations.
His mother should NOT get them. They have there own loving mother who is waiting for her children to come home.
I don’t trust the Jackson family but I wouldn't describe Debbie Rowe a loving mother either. Wacko Jacko’s sexual perversions were not a secret. And she knew the children were forced to hide behind veils and masks. I hope Child Protective Services becomes involved. Were the children mentally, physically and/or sexually abused? I want a judge to act in the children‘s best interest.
After my 9:55 post, I went to TMZ. They have a new story, 'Debbie Rowe -- She Gets Custody if She Wants'
I can picture a custody battle between the Jackson's and Rowe because of the money. What a mess!
It bothers me that so many are grieving for someone who has molested at least one child and who knows how many others. I cannot and will not feel any remorse for someone who has hurt a child in this manner or any manner for that matter. The worldwide over-reaction makes me far more sad than his passing.
Actually Debbie Rowe wanted the kids to wear the veils because she said there were threats made. I think the Nanny should get the kids along with a hefty sum of money to raise them.
Wow all i heard is how everyone knows him as a molester and blah blah blah. Its amazing how so many people care about what he did or what he didn't. how do you know its true or not, were you there? Sounds like high school again... You hear something pass it on and whether or not you like the person you go head and spread word on your opinion. Live your own life, why should what he did matter to you if it has nothing to do with you.
