Let MJs estate, the celebs, and/or the attendees pay for all the police, fire, sanitation costs that the financially strapped city will end up paying for.

Please tell me LA isn't paying for all this! When my mother died it was $350 for a motorcycle cop, $500 for a cruiser and on an on. I understand the security implications but if his estate isn't footing the bill for at least some of the cost that is complete and utter BS.

2 night hotel accomodations in L.A. = $460
Replical offical white M.J. glove = $100
To be a part of the world's largest moon walk or Thriller dance = Priceless!!!

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication.

This sums up how a lot of people feel about MJ. It is funny stuff....but uses a lot of lbad anguage and is NSFW.

I would go if it was open casket and I could Piss on his rotting corpse. Though he probably would have liked that if I was 11. The world is a better place with him dead!!!

Sorry, just saying what I feel about him.

I have two friends I grew up with who were the victims of pedophiles. Both are gone. One was was killed and the other could not live with the abuse and the shame brought upon them and took their own life.

I think it is a disgrace that the media is giving him this love fest usually reserved for popes and presidents because he had a few hit singles in the 80s.

I am glad he is dead and he can rot in hell.

I'm not a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music and less of a fan of Michael Jackson, the man. However, raging against him in his death does no one any good. My opinion only, but the greater insult you could hurl would be one of apathetic disinterest.

You know anybody that was accused of being a pedophile as a ripoff scam?

I'm sorry you feel that way... I wouldn't wish that kind of emotion on anyone.

The man had issues for sure, but he was never convicted of any crimes and his music will live on forever.

Yeah, probably not. Younger generations don't really know who the guy is or listen to his music. Sure, he'll have his cult-like followers who will say he was the greatest of all time, much like Elvis, but also, much like Elvis, most people won't miss him or his music.

Everyone here is certainly entitled to their opinion but whoa, this one was a bit over the top.

This is a great quote from Councilman Dennis Zine:

This is not an emergency. This is a memorial service for a celebrity who died a week ago. We are cognizant of AEG's need to honor the memory of Michael Jackson, but they should also be cognizant of the taxpayers' needs.

Didn't I hear that CA was so cash strapped that they are issuing state tax refunds via IOUs???
