Posted Jul 7th 2009 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonWe've just learned law enforcement has launched a plan to escort Michael Jackson's body from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.

The plan calls for a "heavy motorcade" with the LAPD's SWAT team as part of the escort.

There is also a contingency plan to helicopter the body to Staples if there's an issue of safety.

We're also told approximately 100 people will attend the private memorial at Forest Lawn -- mostly family members. After the service the plan is to follow the body to Staples.

1. I really doubt this. Since the family's publicist has just DENIED it on CNN.

6. I will pray that a giant tsunami takes out the 1 million-plus pro-child molesters gathering today in celebration of child rape.

7. How sad the world is when child molesters are held in such high regard, how sad indeed.

8. Amazing how many posters on TMZ think child rape is kick-azz, it makes me sick.

9. Elvis was banging a 14 year old girl and later married at the OLD age of 16. David Carradine and Michael Hutchensen (INXS) died from when rope around their twins strangled them. NOW THAT IS SICK AND WACKO!

10. I guess the tax payers have to pay for all of this hoopla. How crazy-considering no one in Hollyweird or the US even cared about MJ the past few years. His family won't cough up a dime for this circus.

11. My prayers are with you

12. Would somebody ban "Cleveland-West_Side" already? This douche bag hate-monger needs to chow down on a tasty fat turd. He's probably a true child molester anyways.

13. I can't wait for today to end so they can bury this child molester junkie and we can get back to being able to watch tv without having to turn the channel because they have this freak and his sideshow family on. As for the postage stamp and national holiday, what a joke! What are they going to do have a parade using convicted child molesters as they throw their bontons up in the air and march down the street. Hopefully the government will observe it as a government holiday so that you can have the day off from work to able to protect your kids.

Bury the dead, they stink up the place!
