The man just has absolutely NO sense of reality . . . I'm sure this wasn't meant as anything threatening in any way . . . but how stupid and displaced from logic do you have to be??

Shocker: Michael Jackson Dangles Baby Off Balcony
BERLIN, 3:51 p.m. EST November 19, 2002 - Ultra-eccentric pop-star Michael Jackson shocked fans once again Tuesday. While on a visit to Berlin, the aging star shocked fans by dangling a baby from his hotel balcony. Just before the incident, some 200 fans screamed and cheered as Jackson waved from the balcony, then returned to his room. When he emerged back onto the balcony, he was holding a young baby in his right arm with a towel over its head. The cheers soon turned to screams of fear as the crowd watched Jackson briefly extend the baby over the railing. It did not appear that Jackson had a good grip on the baby, as he held it with just one arm. Initial reports said that the baby was one was of Jackson's three children, although those reports have not been confirmed. Jackson is said to be in the country for a personal vacation, although it is believed he will attend the German premiere of the new James bond Film, "Die Another Day."

I saw the clip on the news. Absoluetly revolting. He is a monster and those children are in danger by being exposed to his psychotic depredations.

Ok, is it me, or does anyone think that by NOW someone, ANYONE would have sent a DSS or Child protective services worker in to investigate this guy..Why is it that anyone with money gets away with crap like this? I've seen children taken away from parents for LESS..When I was still working the maternity/birthing/nursery units it wasn't uncommon for people with "questionable" social history's have DSS come in and place their newborns in foster care until they were THOROUGHLY investigated. This guy is an OBVIOUS mental case..I don't care who he is..he should be locked in one mighty padded room for the rest of his days and those kids should be taken away.

go ahead.. take a look at the video...
Oh god there's nothing wrong with what I saw in the video. He was holding a baby and went out to look at the crowd. Decided to go back and put him inside and then put it back.

ok, i hadn't seen the footage. the way i read it, it sounded like he was holding the baby by it's foot, which would be really stupid and senseless. now seeing the videos and all, the baby wasn't really in danger, but still - who does that? can you imagine yourself doing that, just for fun? "hey, maybe this'll look cool... i'll hold him out over the balcony." :hmm:
i think the guy is disgusting and everything he has done to himself is wrong. he's black... or was. why couldn't he accept who he was, and stay black.
:shrug:
yea... he doesn't deserve life.

Notice how he covered his face when he went out? So sad....:(

Definitely a dipsh*t thing to do, but not extremely bad. Dude's in pain me thinks, especially since he used to be so admired and now he's a freakshow. The only peeps who still admire him like back in the day are either a) psychopaths or b) German. Sucks to be him.

You are all taking it way out of proportion, i mean look in
Lion King
When Rafiki held Simba over the edge of that cliff, all the animals cheered and where happy :)
Ohh, yea i wouldn't worry about it too much, worry about people throwing their babies up in the air and then catching them. If the parents has poor hand to eye coordination there is much more of a chance that the baby will get hurt then what Jackson did.
So relax

I don't know about you . . . but I wouldn't hold my dog off a 4th floor balcony for even half a second . . . not while holding it with two arms . . . and definitely not while holding it with one. So there is no way in hell I would even let a baby anywhere NEAR an open 4th floor window no matter how tightly I was gripping it.
Like I said . . . I don't think he meant any harm with it. It was just absolutely stupid as all hell and devoid of any sense or logic. ;)

EXACTLY.
let me say this loud and clear...
THEY'RE CALLED ACCIDENTS FOR A REASON.
a sweaty palm. a bee sting. a sudden sneeze. someone in the crowd throwing something at them and scaring him. OF COURSE if everything goes right the kid will be fine. you take precautions because sometimes things don't go right. i wear a seatbelt every time i drive, even though i will get into an accident less than 0.01% of the times i drive my car. duh.

The guy's a retard. Even if you're just goofing around, that is a stupid stupid thing to do. I don't care if he was goofing around and accidentally dropped the baby or chucked him from the balcony, the baby is just as dead. Heck, I can see those idiots below fighting over who gets the baby. :rolleyes:

I know people who were burned alive due to seatbelts seatbelts, whereas people that didn't wear them got out and tried to save their friends from a burning car.... it didn't work

If you see it... notice how they play the footage in "bullet time" making it seem like the kid was just hangin' there for more than 5 seconds. Geez :rolleyes:
Now granted... I ain't a Micheal Jackson fan, but honestly, tabloid television is getting alot of press out of this. :shrug:
Actally, the video in the link did not show the whole thing. I haven't seen the Entertainment tonight video but the one that I saw on the news showed that it wasn't just that he acidentally held the kid too far out. The kid's foot hit the railing the first and he had to raise the kid higher to get him over the railing. He purposely held his kid over the railing!!!!:angry: :angry:

i saw on cnn last night that german officials are taking the kids away from mj. i dunno... i think, just to be on the safe side, it was worthy of an investigation, but i just don't see where it was so horrendous that the kids should be taken first and questions answered later... i think he did something really stupid without thinking, realized it immediately, and hauled a$$ back inside.
germany is a bad place for this to happen. germans just have no sense of forgiveness about stepping out of line. i love germany, and it's a wonderful place to live and raise children, but when it comes to dealing with "authority" of any kind, it's like you're harry potter among muggles... if an aurthority sees something wrong, it's WRONG dammit, and you get yelled at, and they don't really want to give you a chance to explain.
actually, now i'm really going to digress... i saw the new harry potter movie last night, and had a thought that i also had while reading the books... it always struck me as so damned ODD that harry never tries to explain things to even trustworthy adults like dumbledore. he keeps things secret and tries to work them out for himself. i realized last night that, while it makes no sense to american sensibilities, it does in europe... kids and adults have a much more old-school, us-against-them relationship. adults just tell kids what to do and yell at them a lot, so it generally really IS best to just hide as much as you can from the adults in authority. if you're in the same room as a broken lamp, you broke the lamp. best to just clean it up quick and buy a new one, rather than explain that the earthquake did it.
