Michael Jackson Targeted with Death Threat

Michael Jackson Someone threatened to kill Michael Jackson, and then-President George H.W. Bush, according to FBI documents just released.

Someone wrote a letter on July 6, 1992, that the FBI obtained, stating, "I decided that because nobody is taking me serious, and I can't handle my state of mind, that I am going to Washington D.C. to threaten to kill the President of the United States, George Bush."

It goes on ..."Michael [Jackson] I will personally attempt to kill, if he doesn't pay me my money."

One of the documents, written by the L.A. City Attorney's office, indicated on June 22, 1992, the author of the letter "arrives in Calif at Jackson's . Threatens to kill."

The FBI says the person who wrote the letter was charged with extortion, pled guilty and was sentenced to prison in 1993.

I can only imagine the pain Michael went through his entire life.with extortion, the media and death threats. So many people "killed" him emotionally before Murray came along.

It was rumored that this person was actually Brittany Murphy. So only now in her death can the truth come out. Sick puppies.

That's the worst Michael Jackson image I've ever seen - including haters' clips on youtube. Only someone with the utmost contempt for the man would publish a photo like that.

Do you want to purge the website from everyone who ever liked MJ?

Please take it away.

Such a shame that Michael had to endure more than we ever thought. I'm glad that he is at peace now. I'm sorry he had to get his peace this way, but glad that no one else can harm him. Much love to the Jackson family.
