Remember back when society was smart enough to acknowledge that McCarthyism was a BAD thing? That guilt needed to be proven, and that accusations weren't evidence, let alone proof? I miss those days.
Emmett Till didn't die because of racism; he died because accusation equaled guilt in the tiny minds of that horrible place and time. And then the Kavanaugh hearings showed us that the same is true of this horrible place and time.
JC Denton said it best: when due process fails us, we really do live in a world of terror. When it extends beyond governments and criminal matters into everyday horror...

@Rabscuttle that is exactly how i feel...i mean, i never heard of any of those you referred to ...but i agree about the horror ...everyday horror. and McCarthyism wouldn't have been a thing if people weren't stupid enough to listen to it back then

So its the kids parents that are guilty for letting Michael Jackson near them...not his own decision making?
@LadyInTheTower partially. i mean, seriously, who would do that? it is insane. you let some famous person have your child spend the night at their house without you....it sounds like a set up and using your children as pawns....blech! and some were obviously coached. they didn't speak like children.
so you think it isn't the parents fault if they do drugs and drink infront of their child and then the child ends up being an addict......?

@LILY61 I think it was certainly naïve of them to trust a celebrity, despite the wholesome family friendly persona Jackson was going for, family in the US believed it. And it was apparently only dscovered in retrospect what a vile creature he really was.
@LadyInTheTower it was never proven that he did anything...or kevin spacey....and people have been caught trying to set up both of them.

@jshm2 i live in this world, sort of. and i have been destroyed by people who lied about me and destroyed me over complete lies. i am famous in Cincinnati because of all the nonsense said about me. so when i see famous people getting ruined due to other people's insanity and jealousy...i have a knee jerk reaction. i want to go after the slanderers with pitch forks and torches, NOT THE ONE BEING DESTROYED!
