How is walking around with a candle satisfying to your grief?
Would a flashlight have the same effect? Perhaps a pineapple?

Lighting a candle is a symbolic form of showing love, get over it.
Just as prostrating and kneeling are forms of worship to some, just as beating one’s chest, just as lighting a fire, just as greeting with your right hand rather than your left, just as drinking the wine and eating the bread, just as saluting with a flick of your hand by your forehead. There is absolutely no need to be bitter towards people try when they try and express their emotions.

I hold no grudge against MJ, not at all, but to see him on the Kuwait’s flag is a real crap!!
he should be scratched out.

Green and red swabs of paint don’t make a flag. Quit complaining.

28. Holla | July 9th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
I heard the police came and it turned into a violent protest with 3 ppl arrested.
29. nQ | July 9th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I just spoke to someone and she told me they got busted for “sha3watha” (witchcarft lol). They’re contacting AlRai newspaper now for a story.

Unfortunately in many parts of the world its a thin line between COPS and THUGS where a peaceful event of love, rememberance and people just getting together over something positive is bullied and thrown up against the wall of being a moral bad.
Whats the truth here? The cops are intimidated by people randomly coming together in a public space, putting aside differences for a common thing and breaking the from norm of controlled predictable activity.
i was there earlier on and next to us on another side of the beach some loser REJECTS were dogfighting. if thats not a moral bad to humans and animals i dont know what is!
at the event kids and adults were lighting a candle for michael and for peace, singing and just having a good time chilling to his tunes and all the nostalgia they bring us. people who could ever construe that as witchcraft are the ones with the SICK PERVERTED minds.
31. Duke | July 9th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
lol, I won’t leave MJ alone until a “leave MJ alone” vid comes out. Preferably by Chris Crocker. ;P
32. MJ's BIGGEST FAN! | July 29th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Thanx to the people who think that Michael Jackson deserves this. And to the other people.. I have nothing against u, it’s just that when you get to listen to this wonderful person sing, talk in interviews etc… u will realize that he is a gift from god! I promise each and every one of you that you will change your mind of him when u read about him (autobiography etc..) and listen to all his interviews. I have been a fan since 4EVER.. and I believe that he earned our respects for being such a peacful human being! As they say:”Do not judge a book by it’s cover” i tell u people to please “DO NOT JUDGE MIOCHAEL BY THE WAY HE LOOKS, but ON WHATS INSIDE AND HIS KINDNESS AND LOVE FOR CHILDREN AND PEOPLE OF ALL KINDS AND RACES! The guy never BLEACHED his skin.. come on. he has VITILIGO. Anyways i respect all peoples thoughts of him. Please listen to his song called CHILDHOOD. As the GREAT KING OF POP once said: “Before you judge me, try hard to LOVE me” And Michael Jackson: I LOVE YOU!! WITH ALL MY HEART!! <3333 KISS KISS!!
