I’m not a Michael Jackson fan.
But it’s hard not to feel a bit of sympathy listening to this riveting audio.
Whatever Pepsi paid Jackson in compensation, it isn’t enough. And I wonder, did Pepsi suppress the video of Jackson’s hair burning on purpose? Did they stop the Los Angeles fire safety officers on duty that day from telling their story?
Well, one is an LAFD captain now, and he tells his story here in this riveting interview with by Harvey Levin, CEO of TMZ.com (and the driving force behind both the old and new “People’s Court” show).
Lt. Brian Bradshaw, search and rescue volunteer, altar boy, and camp counsellor, was from Washington state, USA.
I will see his home state in less than an hour when I go down to the ocean. My vantage point where I can see Washington is a 5-minute walk away from my home.
Bless you, Lt. Bradshaw, for a moral and courageous life, and for your service.
Yes.
Exactly.
Australia — a terrific country — has a surprisingly forgiving justice system.
I noticed this by watching television while I was there.
I was astounded, for example, to be watching a very stern judge telling a man he’d been arrested several times in the past for stealing cars and the Australian justice system would be giving him a strong sentence to send a message to him this behaviour would not be tolerated. Therefore, the judge sentenced the car thief to a longer suspended sentence and probation than the last time he was convicted.
James Kevin Pope who sexually abused 3 young girls over a period of 2 years in Texas was just sentenced to 40 consecutive life terms for sexual assault on a minor and 3 consecutive terms of 20 years for sexual performance of a minor. His total sentence is 4,060 years, yet he becomes eligible for parole earlier. In 3209.
I will just leave those facts as is and won’t comment on which system is better, except to say Texas.
