Michael Jackson Private Burial set for September 3, 2009
I cannot believe the City of Los Angeles is requiring a permit for a private burial which forced the Jackson family to r0e-schedule from the original date set for Michael's birthday. (August 29th, 2009)
The Los Angeles Police department is also trying to get money from the Jacskon estate for the security they provided during the Staples Center event. If the Jackson Family had to pay for the security they should have been able to call the shots like being able to allow fans to watch the event outside of the Staples Center on big screens. The police did not allow any of the fans to get even a block radius of the memorial and I know that the Jackson family did in fact want the fans to be allowed to say goodbye formally to Michael. If the city required money and permits they should have thought about that at the time and notified them before hand - the event has passed and they cannot claim they require payment a month after the fact...
The estate should be allowed to hire private security for the private service..if it is on their dime they should not have to deal with public officials pushing back the fans that supported Michael all of these years.
I am outraged and upset when I think of how much Michael contributed to the economy, selling newspapers, headlines, and product - sometimes at the expense of his emotional health. His passing affected the world and the world should be able to mourn his passing without harassment from the police..and yes the police do harass the public.
I am so sorry that the Jackson Family has to deal with this and I hope that they do not pay one cent to the city of Los Angeles... attention city of los angeles - stop being so greedy and show some respect...
