how would you like to be a jurist believing Jackson is guilty. Any intimidation ?

[BunnySlippers]

Hilarious! Geragos was laughing off this suggestion on LKL the other night. Now Farrakhan is working out of Geragos' office!

[cajungirl]

This keeps getting weirder and weirder. Michael held captive by Islamic radicals, Michael holding small kids captive to abuse them,,odd thing going on here.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Lol, at least the grownups are in charge! Hahahaa, I'm waiting for the buzz cut and the bow tie!

[templar]

... odd thing going on here.

A bit of an understatement. This whole thing is getting bizzare. If this were a novel or movie it wouldn't be considered even vaguely plausible in the real world, I would think.

Anybody remember Howard Hughes who was never seen again after he decided Mormon bodyguards would be totally trustworthy.

[cajungirl]

Now if the Scientologists would get involved, this could get really interesting. This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen.

The pop star met Mr. Farrakhan in Las Vegas last month, and the Nation of Islam leader "talked like a father to him

I wonder if they discussed Farrakhan's numerological theories and "the mothership "

[nmh]

I didn't think even Michael Jackson was this stupid.

They'll rob him blind!

"I wonder if they discussed Farrakhan's
numerological theories and "the mothership ""

He has a mothership too?

[NCPAC]

Now, if only the Nation of Islam could control Jacko's - ahem - proclivities.

Who's more desperate here - Jackson or Farrakhan?

[Rabid Dog]

Thought you would enjoy this truly bizarre turn of events. Almost have to believe it is a hoax.

[CzarNicky]

No wonder Jackson's finances are going down the drain.

[exit82]

" The motives of Mr. Muhammad and the Nation of Islam are not clear."

Let me clarify in one word: money.

[meanie monster]

My gut feeling tells me is is guilty. If the cops ruffed him up, why was he smiling and waving to the people outside?

[Snake65]

Let me clarify in one word: money.

If I had a kewpie dolly, you'd win it. Jacko will sign over the rights to his music before this is over. Wait and see.

[sheik yerbouty]

Well Jacko! Lie down with dogs and you're sure to catch fleas!

[radiohead]

They'll rob him blind!

If Jackson gets off on the criminal charges, I foresee a good 5 years dancing with the IRS if the Nation of Islam gets into his money.

Jacko will be like Capone - sent up on a tax rap!
