I don't know if this is the right place to post this but it IS about L.O.V.E., a concept a lot of fans haven't understood if you ask me...I've just had some discussions about Murray, and I've been so very shocked about the hate and spitefulness coming from fans, I have to let it out somewhere. I can't believe Michael fans who claim to love him for his good heart and quote "it's all for love" wherever they go want a man to rot in jail or burn in hell.To set the record straight, I can understand anger, and I realize you have to let it out sometimes. But every now and then you have to step back and use your brain. Hating this man for supposedly being responsible for Michael's death is not sensible. Seeing him being punished, hurt, killed will not bring Michael back if he's dead. What I also find particularly upsetting is that they keep emphasizing he did it to MICHAEL, MICHAEL, as if it would've been far less terrible had Murray given drugs to some bum down the street and killed him. Murray's on trial for involuntary manslaughter, not even for having purposedly murdered anyone. And they call him the devil and a monster, most certainly because they themselves just can't deal with the loss.I'm not saying Murray should be allowed to live a king's life if he's guilty. He shouldn't be allowed to practice, since that's what his supposed crime was all about: being negligent while taking care of a patient. In my opinion, as much as I love Michael, I seriously do not believe he deserves to be burned at the stake for what he did [if he did it]. There are a lot of things I would do to get Michael back, but I simply cannot believe those "L.O.V.E." screaming fans consider it right and just for Murray to be crucified publicly, to be spat on, EVEN IF HE'S GUILTY. That's not what love is about, and, AS I SAID, I can understand anger, but you are not to lose your sensibility and reason.They believe Michael was given Propofol by Murray - stone me for being honest -, don't they think that Michael ASKED him for it, and that if Murray hadn't given it to him, he would've found somebody else? Somebody less negligent, maybe, but unless they're trying to say Michael was murdered, they have to admit that Michael is partly responsible himself. Now burn me, but, seriously, those people are NOT being sensible. They hate someone because he took Michael Jackson's life, at the same time they claim to love Michael and all he stood/stands for: LOVE, JUSTICE, and even FORGIVENESS. I suppose they want Michael and themselves to always be treated with love and an open mind, but it doesn't go for anybody who goes against Michael. Yet, he himself wrote in Moonwalk that he can't understand the concept of revenge, and his little soldiers of love are screaming for a man to be burned alive. That's what I call L.O.V.E.I do hope somebody will agree with me because I feel quite lost right now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I realize that along with being a "NonbeLIEver" some are probably not Christians either. Therefore most will allow their emotions to rule their actions. This is most unfortunate because more crimes are committed in the heat of emotions, especially anger.I guess that's why the Bible says that we should be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger...Saying that, the Bible also teaches to love the sinner, hate the sin. Even if Murray were truly guilty it's not our place to hate him. Truth and justice will prevail in the end. All we can do is continue to be that light in the midst of darkness. Michael has been a great example of temperance. Hopefully more of his diehard fans will learn to be the same. They will be in my prayers.Blessings.
Honestly, we need to give the nonbelievers a break. THEY believe Michael was MURDERED in the horrifying way they are being told, and Murray is the one they see as his murderer... so I understand their hate for Murray. Maybe some shouldn't be wishing death upon him (I would never) but, that's just who they are and I'm not judging them.

Thank you for all your replies. I agree with most of you.Also remember what Michael said about criminals, even Hitler. He said he would've wanted to show him love, so he could be 'healed'. I don't know if it's possible to help a person get back to normality once they're as mentally disturbed as Hitler but Michael's belief in that shows what a sweet person he really is. We can never know what it's like to be in anybody else's shoes, we will never be fully able to understand what makes a murderer tick... But I daresay I do know that it must've been pain and suffering that brought them there, so who am I to wish any more pain on them?Kafka wrote, "We are as forlorn as children lost in the wood. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and tell you, what more would you know about me than you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell."I'm not a Christian and I don't believe in hell, but I'll take this as a metaphor.
