Jackson is found innocent

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

eh. Neither side had a good case.
There were some good moments from the trial though. Like how it took 3 days for the term "crackwhore" to come up.
I can't say I'm surprised though. If he had been convicted of anything he would have had a great case for an appeal.
Nonetheless, his reputation is shot and the truth is, it doesn't matter what the courts said, he is always going to be guilty to the general public.

Why?
Trials aren't important. The only reason why they're news is because Jackson is a celebrity. I can list 1000 things that are more important in this world, all of which will never be reported to the degree Jackson's trial was reported because it doesn't give the stations ratings.

It may not be important, but people care. I know people who shed a lot of tears over this case. And I think most of us saw the footage of people screaming, throwing confetti, hugging each other, and being carried away on stretchers from fainting after the verdict was announced.

Just because it's not important to you doesn't mean that it's not important. What about all those kids? And their families? If a public figure is going that, he deserves to be publicly shamed. You're right, there are things that don't get attention that should, that doesn't mean it's not important.

But it hasn't been about the kids. I could see using this as a platform against sexual molestation in America, but I haven't seen anything even resembling that in the media.
If only people cared so much about other issues in the world in stead of throwing some confetti and dancing the night away because some washed up pop star was acquitted of charges.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
