MJ Trial - a different issue
I hadn't been following the MJ trial until I entered into a discussion here that involved it, since then I've been paying a bit more attention to it.
One of the things that I have heard and just been reading about is this testimony of ex employees and associates who have said under oath that they witnessed him sexually assault children.
The latest one:
What I really don’t understand is why these people did not do anything about it at the time. If I saw an employer assault anyone never mind a boy I would then and there step in to try and stop it, and ensure that the authorities got involved.
It is beyond my comprehension that they did nothing. I can understand MJ being surrounded by "yes people" but surely if you witness an assault like these people describe you would, without even thinking of consequences, do something?
If they are telling the truth how could they stand by and do nothing? It just seems so strange and alien to me that they allowed these assaults to happen and by inaction allowed them to continue happening.
When it comes to a matter of minors in our society I think it is right to consider someone who doesn’t do whatever they can to stop the assaults as having some culpability for any future assaults since they didn’t do everything within their powers at the time to stop them.
