I always identified with Michael in many ways. growing up JW. trying to please a mother in a bad marriage.
I know he had a lot of pain. He may or may not have been a child abuser. If he was, there is no excuse for
that, but I still have compassion for someone that is that screwed up, even though, I believe they absolutely
have to be imprisoned and kept away from children. I think he was probably gay and suppressed that to
keep his mother happy. Suppressing sexual desire can lead to it coming out in other ways or trying to hide
it by having sex with kids and then bribing them or threatening them to keep quiet. Again, not an excuse.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions, but there is so much back story to people that we will never
know or understand. On one hand, I'm sorry Michael is dead. on another maybe that is the only way
he could find peace.
