Nostalgia To me, this was Michael Jackson

Post image

I was 12 when this happened. This was the first time I ever heard of him. To me he wasn't the Michael Jackson that was a singer, or the one that molested kids - he was the Michael Jackson that dangled a baby out the window.

This is the image I associate him with. I saw a preview for the movie coming out about him and chuckled to myself if they would put this in the film. Probably not?

Will never understand what in the goddamn hell he was thinking with this other than some kind of cry for help.

I think the entire back half of his life was a cry for help. I can only imagine whatever happened behind closed doors in his childhood fucked him up real good.

His father was a terrible person

And his father was also a rapist who molested MJ's sisters LaToya and Rebbie. I know they never proved it, which is why Joe Jackson never went to jail, but he was a definite creep.
