People are Strange

Painted as a monster and nothing else for years, he's gone without the rehabilitation of his name, of his dignity as human being. Probably, in this world, he will never have a full rehabilitation, because people make up their icons as fast as they tear them down forever. As usual, together with death arrived crocodile tears too: Jordan Chandler and journalist Martin Bashir admitted they lied about Michael Jackson when the first accused him of sexual abuses and the second interviewed him on "Living with Michael Jackson" special; now, too late, as always, the world seems to have at last figured out that it was wrong, that has been Law itself to set he was innocent. But we know quite well the sad power of death and that it's always the best occasion to deny, to feel regret when it's too late, the best time to speculate. That's what the great human race always does: the uncontrollable attack first, the big remorse then. Above all, human race is a great contradictory one. To all, Michael Jackson was a guilty for sure, a dangerous freak with no right to speak, a guilty even if there wasn't even a proof that wouldn't had been dismantle.
Then what about Roman Polanski? He's a true guilty but c'mon, he's a poor victim of the System, a victim of the USA Government that 30 years later still insist in pursuing him. Just leave him alone you nuts people, how dare you?! Poor Polanski has already gone through too much pain, some papers have written. In addition to this absolutely craziness, famous people all over the world signed even a letter to support Polanski's cause, claiming that his arrest was unconstitutional and that USA must, as I said before, practically leave him alone.
It's been 30 years since he took a little girl, made her drunk and high then took her life away raping her. He must have scared the hell out of her, but, today as yesterday, it seems we just don't care. She said she has forgive him, but the fact she's been so strong doesn't mean she doesn't deserve justice. And she didn't have it, she didn't have justice for 30 long years, during which Polanski has going on living his days free and undisturbed, and she still doesn't. And today, in 2009, in civilized Countries, there's still someone to who being an unquestionable director it's quite enough to let him get away being a convicted. We are not talking about revenge (we would never dare ask too much seeing the world we live in); we are just talking about justice, we are trying to understand how it is actually possible that, once again, be a famous name means to win the "get out of jail free" card.
That's the reason why Linus was used to say "I love humanity, it's people I can't stand"; I'm not making a division between what is good and what is not, I'm just saying I hate incoherence and, even worst, the character assassination without right of reply and the persistence in acting like this, always, without even apologize. I'm against the incapability to recognize and admit the mistakes made, choosing not to repeat them in the same away over and over again.
When will people heal their cruelty and superficiality? Michael was right, we must heal the world, but, for once in our life, it'll be great if we learn before how to heal ourselves.
