Who's Bad, Jackson?

I'm going into this by saying I'm not the hugest fan of Michael Jackson, but I have enjoyed a few songs he did. But if you were to ask who were some of the most famous musicians, he would be one of them. He was the epitome of 80s pop and could do a lot of things that would make your head spin. In between the music came several instances of child molestation crimes which he would be acquitted of. This HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland, even though I will not watch it, screams an attempt for money and 15 minutes of fame. 

Out of all the times to do something like this, why now? The narrative will always be split. You got the fans that will scream that Jackson did not do anything. Of course, you got the other side who insists he molested kids, which was the subject of parody and jokes on things like South Park and Scary Movie. There's no winner out of all this. It's going to an endless war that quite frankly, will last a long time. 

The thing is, more people will believe more into the victims. Jackson can't defend himself since he's been dead for almost 10 years. That family can't do anything except say that the alleged stuff didn't happen. If these incidents actually happened, then you can't fault the two victims who came out about it. But all you can rely on is what people said. And word of mouth does not always give you ample proof of molestation, whether it was true or not. 

As I stands, I can't form an opinion on this. If the proof was there that Jackson did heinous things, then it would change a lot of people's views on him. If he didn't, then the witch hunt needs to completely stop. How many more times can you try to make something out of stuff that was dropped almost 15 years ago? As I said, an endless war with no winner. It's a fight that will pop up in the future. The question is when.
