1 Al Petow December 20, 2008 at 4:02 pm

When the Petow family moved from Matawan, NJ to Florida I became a writer and Marketing Director for Florida Trend Magazine. Our office was in Ybor City in Hillsborough County (Tampa), That was in 1957 and at that time the Mafia had declared that there would be no gangland murders in Tampa. Mobsters who were on a hit list could come to Tampa and know that their execution would not be carried out so long as they stayed in Tampa. Over the years the agreement was violated… particularly in Ybor City. If you follow the news in Florida you will find that Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Lakeland report murders virtually every day.

I am an 86 year old Veteran of WWII and Korea and I never thought that the day would come when I would carry a concealed weapon which is licensed when I leave my home at night… but crime is rampant and increasing daily as our economy deteriorates.

My cousin (Michael Jackson) was a wonderful man and a wonderful entertainer. He battled through bigotry (because of his skin color). People ask: Did he change his skin color? I can answer that…no he did not…there is someone else in the family with vitiligo. He battled through the plastic surgery. It's really interesting how EVERYONE in the entertainment industry gets plastic surgery of every kind, but Michael, this BLACK man, "changed the way he looked." Is this racism? He battled through sexual molestation charges. It's really interesting how a SUPPOSEDLY pedophile had children but they were not abused. My cousin is at peace now. All of you (reporters) are going to have to find someone else to TALK ABOUT.

Leave Jackson's children alone! Have you not had enough?. What a racist you are. It's the color od their skin that has you making all these comments about who the biological father could be. Michael Jackson was the father! For the rest, who cares!
We will forget you ever existed (thankfully). You are a liar, an opportunist and the worst type of gosspip. Jackson and his legacy will live on.
Good Luck Diane, Jackson is dead, who else can you write about now.

Diane,
I don't believe you are a racist, opportunist, or a gossiper, rather a consummate professtional who investigated a famous CHILD MOLESTER and bravely reported the FACTS. Michael Jackson was a serious "Drug Addict" with a penchant for prepubescent boys. Money and musicality should not have afforded him a CHILD ABUSE pass. I understand he was not convicted, in what was said to be a Constitutional Court of Due Process, but that does not excuse a 30 million dollar payout to a previous accuser. Diane, Thank you for reporting with integrity and honesty.

Michele child molesters do not abandon their behavior, they continue to molest children. And do you realize that it's on record that Jordan Chandler the first child to accuse him dropped the charges when he found out that he was receiving a multi million dollar settlement or did that just fly over your head? If you were really molested you don't drop the charges, you seek justice! And the second boy was proven a liar in court! You people need to get your heads out of the sand! Michael Jackson was obviously NOT a child molester but rather a kind, generous and sensitive man who cared too much and wanted to help people that took advantage of him. He was an easy target and it's sad. Both of those boys lied, they know they lied and they're time will come when they're judged by God himself.

Ms. Dimond;
You're a disgrace to journalists everywhere. You built a career out of Michael Jackson and-even in death you still shamelessly pursue him. Instead of using a microphone-why don't you just use a fork and a knife? That way you can devour what's left of him.
If "so-called" journalists in this country had just pursued the Bush White House with the same fervor they pursued "all things Michal Jackson" this country might just be a little bit better off. Shame-on-you. The man is dead-stop feasting on his corpse you ghoul.

This is so absurd I hesitated posting it. But for all those out there who think I've made a lot of money off my reporting of Michael Jackson – I have not. I also post this from "Anny" (which I assume means "anonymous") to reveal the depths to which some will sink. There is not one person who knows me who would call me racist. That is so far from the truth as to be laughable.~ DD

I am appalled that you consider yourself a journalist. In the days since Michael Jackson's death EVERY time I see you on a news channel I wonder why. When I see your face it makes me cringe because you have NO credibility to what you have said about Michael Jackson since his death. I am absolutely positive that you must NOT have any kids. I see no caring Mother who would want to exploit children. You speak about what Jackson SUPPOSEDLY did to children and what you are doing to his children is no better. I am some others are sending out petitions to various news stations concerning you. It is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous you are using this mans death and his families pain for your gain. But,there will be no gain for you.

"Michael Jackson's doctor Arnold Klein denies he fathered King of Pop's kids Paris and Prince Michael"

Michael Jackson's longtime dermatologist broke his silence Wednesday, offering a carefully worded denial that he fathered two of the pop icon's children.

"To the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children," Dr. Arnold Klein told ABC News' "Good Morning America" Wednesday.

my brothers children are from the same mixed raced mother yet one is white with blue eyes the other is slightly tanned and has curly hair yet his son is darker skinned with straight hair. its time to leave the jackson family to grieve in peace allow them the time to support each other and adapt to the changes that are happening

for once be compassionate to the needs of these children and family members

He went back to his Star.
His light left the earth long before.
His body but a shell.
Some Stars have to much to offer and they our often burned by there own light.
His soul will carry on into the next life.
It doesn't matter f your black or white.
Just remember these words.
Of coarse there is no excuse for children to be abused.
In nay shape or form.

For we our only human in the end.
Only he truly knows what he did?
i don't .

until we truly make the ones pay for these real crimes.
Am i talking real time.
Plus loose custody of these children having to live w/ abusers!
Then we can not break the chains of abuse.
its the children that suffer.
Yet they don't send animals back to live w/ abusers!

Dear Staff,
My name is Raymond Carnation I along with two other white Philadelphia Police Officers that opposed racism
against African Americans were fired in 1999 for doing so.

Diane,
I agree with Michele above her observations are excellent and onto it.
I watched the recent interview to the female doctor that would not give MJ his “milk” (propol) I chuckled as it reminded me of the term “Jesus Juice” related to a past incident, thank you for your direct honest style of reporting .
The questions you ask are what Im interested in not like those that constantly blame one doctor and do not ask the biggie for fear of retribution such as did MJ kill MJ? or the doctors? Feeling disgusted and confused that essentially he was a Druggie Addict, where the addiction became a deep depression that lead to the label” insomnia” and a lone doctor being the fall guy and scapegoat to the world of MJs addictions. I question the greatness of his dancing and singing was he High all those times? and a great father? How did he do parenting while high on prescription drugs obviously 24/7? Thats where nannys and cooks must come in to do the necessities of meals and routines, oh to be wealthy or not?
I feel for the elder son that seemed to have carried a lot of adult responsibilites concerning his father. Amongst all the drugs, pill bottles and marijuana were bottles of skin bleacher. This vindicates you or anyone that has known he has bleached his skin and the dermotologists doctors, family and friends would all know the truth but to keep up the mask of plastic reality to portray a face of lies and ennuendo to the naieve of this world I guess keeps the money rolling in to certain people. Thank you again Diane your a strong, genuine lady that is refreshing to watch and listen keep getting down to the nitty gritty and asking those questions the ignorant dont want to hear, you rock and one day they may get rid of the old kooties that have their own news shows on cnn and fox who are intrusive and boring I wont mention their names you can just guess.
