I'm sick of hearing about MJ and the coverage of this is really getting sickening. I can't imagine how much worse it is in California

Who the hell cares?
And why should the taxpayers/city be saddled with the extra costs of the circus?
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.

Agreed 100%, this is getting old and now they are parading this sicko pedophile around town hoping to throw it on the taxpayers tab. Is there nothing else for people to do?

As long as the funeral doesn't last 3 days like the Late Ronald Reagan. Lets make this quick and get it over with. Mourning will not bring him back. Pay respects and move on remembering the good things. One action does not make a career.

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.

I'm just waiting for news of violence outside the Staples Center. I would actually be surprised if it didn't happen before long.

From the link.

"The total cost for security at the event is estimated to be between $2 million and $4 million"

I would go if I lived in L.A.

Roundtrip flight to L.A. from Philly = $400
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!!!
