The world lost something special.

The world lost something very troubled. His legacy was his music and also the negative stigma of his need to be childlike and hang out with little boys and sleep in the same bed with them.
This must NEVER be allowed to happen again, just because of celebrity privilege. He wasn't worth crying over, because he was still a mature adult capable of making his own decisions.
If he was still alive today, he would have been cancelled out by now.

Some say he died a year before and a fake took his place. His sister, LaToya, says the real Michael was murdered.
Others say he faked his death and is still living in South America.
I do find it more disturbing that people defend his behavior though. You don't know the real person behind the mask. Saying it's ok for children to sleep in the same bed with a stranger in a mansion miles away from any adult supervision is just insane.
Don't care how
innocent
that is, it's really really messed up.
He did repeatedly with many different boys.
Didn't get accused of molesting all of them, but that is how a predictor operates. They choose their prey wisely.
The fact that he had surveillance cameras outside the door of his bedroom to warm him if someone was about to enter is chilling.
Celebrities often tell their fans that they don't really know who they are.
Just ask John Mellencamp.

I was coming home from work. I didn't have a car back then so I was riding the city bus. A passenger turned to me and said
"Michael Jackson died."
Just like that. I don't even know why that person spoke to me. He was a complete stranger. He was black though so perhaps he wanted to let other black people know that Michael Jackson died.
I was in disbelief. I had to get home and turn on the tv to see for myself.
For the rest of the night, I was glued to the tv set.
I was glued to the trial of the asshole that killed Michael.
And I cried to all the music that the radio station played the entire next day in remembrance of Michael Jackson.
I definitely mourned his death. The only celebrity that I mourned.
Prince's death saddened me but not on the level of the way Michael Jackson's death saddened me.
