Dr. Conrad Murray: Scapegoat



If it were any other person, it would have been a wrongful death suit. He probably would have lost his license and practice. But now he could lost his freedom, besides the fact that he could lose his life by one of these psycho fans. I reiterate that if people are willing to kill themselves because MiJac is gone, there is someone out there who wouldn't hesitate to end this dude.

But it is Michael Jackson, so someone has to pay.

It can't be the media, who made his life a sideshow for over 20 years. It can't be his family, who has manipulated him in some form or fashion since he was born and after he has passed. It can't his friends, who turned a blind eye to his addiction. It can't be his handlers who have allowed his addiction to persist, not for his success but their own. It can't be the public (or "fans") that mocked him relentlessly for years.

It certainly can't be MiJac's fault for not finding a way to overcome HIS addiction and avoiding anyone who wished to turn him away from the dangerous drugs he took.

It is a cardiologist's fault. Because he was giving him these drugs... or because he didn't perform CPR for long enough... or for whatever other reason the LAPD or coroner's office can come up with to distract from the real reason Michael Jackson died: the source of his addiction and the addiction itself.

Have you seen the video? He's emaciated. He was 115 pounds at the time of his death.



He was taking Propofol to sleep nightly. If Dr. Murray would not administer the drugs to him, Michael would have given that $100,000 a month to someone else. It was going to happen. It sucks to say it, but no one was trying to stop his addiction or help him.

Do I make excuses for Dr. Murray? Hell f*cking no. Just because MiJac could have given that money to someone else if he didn't do it, doesn't excuse the fact that he took that money and strapped IV after IV to the addict. But the punishment isn't going to fit the crime if this prosecution ensues.

And what about the punishment everyone else in his life deserves?
