*nod* Agreed. A lot of people made fun, and then a lot of others said some really awful things, and are still saying really awful things even now (I don't mean jokes, I mean actually really truly disgusting things), and now some of those people definitely would be back peddling.

Some forums I was reading today just had people commenting with "At least now kids are safe" or "Children can sleep safely tonight". That really riled me. Wtf? I'm sorry, but that kind of talk is stupid to me.

As if he was hanging around on street corners preying on little kids? If that was the case, don't you think he'd be in jail? It'd be kinda hard to miss. What do they know anyway? I'm not defending him as such as I don't know the truth, but neither do the people who say all that stuff, but the bottom line is he was acquitted, so people just need to let it go. It's sad that for a lot of people that is all they will remember/think when he is brought up. And people who say dumb things like that make me really angry ~_~

It is very sad. I know people die every day, but it is sad when it's someone who is so famous and was so talented. I always felt a bit sad for him, I feel sad for anyone who is really famous and picked on by the media etc. It's like the general public expect them to behave like everyone else, but how can they, when they don't live like the ordinary person, and are not treated like the ordinary person?? Sometimes you think "What did you truly expect?" He was nutty but he didn't have a 'normal' life.

I'm happy to remember him for his music.

*blush* whoops, sorry, that was a bit ranty! I think I was just thinking about it all day and your post just made it all come out ;)
