Something tells me even then you would question the videos authenticity.
Curious what it would take for you pull down your MJ posters off your wall.

I beileve in due process. I don't need to be a fan but I need more than this to bring me off the fence. I'm just not swayed to join the group think going on in here based solely on allegations.
Since were all fond of applying our own experiences ill give you one of mine. When I was a teenager I dated a girl and her best friend dated my best friend. I did not get along with my gfs best friend at all like cats and dogs because she was the drama queen type, always the center of attention and crying wolf for attention. Well I decided I would split with my gf as I just wasn't that in to her. She was heart broken she thought I was her soul mate. Her friend wanted to get back at me for breaking her heart and started spreading nasty rumors about me saying that she had seen bruises on her arms in the past (which was made up bull####) and so I must have been abusive my best buddy even questioned me and stopped talking to me (he was a bit under her thumb). My ex actually stood up for me and said no that's crap we broke up and the rest was made up to get back at him... but some people just thought well victims defend their abusers..
So here I was with this terrible reputation whispered in hush tones behind my back for something that's not true that my ex even confirmed wasnt true . I even had other girls I used to date debunk it but in the words of Cliff Fletcher in this thread "just because you didn't do it to one girl doesn't mean you didn't do it". So that didnt absolve me in some people's minds. Its almost like once the allegations made the doubt will always linger in the back of peoples minds. Eventually I moved on from that circle and dated many other girls and met my wife, but imagine if I was famous and that bs followed me every where.
Allegations with out fact are very very dangerous things that can destroy lives just as much the alleged victim's. We are in a very dangerous time that any one can make any claim and your automatically guilty whether you actually did it or not. He may very well be guilty but he deserves the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise.
