Eddie Kramer's Loss Overshadowed By Michael Jackson's Death and Legal Woes Postmortem?


While the world mourns the stealing of Michael Jackson's life, another victim's loss goes virtually obscured in the media frenzy. Eddie Kramer, a New Bedford, Massachusetts man, who lost an arm and a leg is a true crime victim. Some one stole Eddie's motorized wheelchair thus robbing him of his mobility and independence. How low can criminals get?


Life is not all bad. Folks are pitching in to buy Eddie Kramer a new wheelchair. Eddie Kramer always parked his wheelchair on the back porch. One day he woke up and it was gone. What brand of manure would stoop so low as to steal a wheel chair? A motorized wheel chair costs around seven thousand dollars. But for a man with only one arm and one leg, it is a necessary expense.


Eddie does not want any one's sympathy. What he wants is clearly written on a sign by his house which reads: "Please return my wheelchair." Anyone with information about the chair can call 508-324-5489.
This is not to minimize the legal woes surrounding the death of Michael Jackson. It is merely to recognize a man's troubles that would otherwise be buried in the small print. So, as the world mourns the loss of THE KING OF POP and the death of sex symbol Farrah Fawcett, let's also recognize other's losses that may not be so well publicized in the media.
Update 2-4-10: Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, is negotiating with prosecutors on plans to surrender. Murray will be charged with numerous felonies related to Jackson's death. Murray will likely be arraigned at the courthouse near the Los Angeles International Airport at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET) Friday.

Low indeed!

Michael J. will live on through his music. I will truly mourn the loss of Farrah. She was a great woman who knew how to keep things real, despite her status. She inspired the hair fashions of the 70's!

Farrah and her poster caused a lot of teen age boys to nearly go blind in the 70's! R.I.P. Farrah.

Poor man. What kind of a creep steals a wheel chair?

Yup, too bad about Kramer. But think of all the young and old men who will have trouble sleeping at night now knowing that they will never have a shot with Farrah!

Michael was a musical genius who will forever be known for his alleged off stage shortcomings. May he finally get the rest that he so desparately sought in life.

Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe was in a feisty mood on Sunday. Outside a restaurant in Lancaster, Calif., Rowe snapped at a photographer who was questioning her about the custody of her kids. Look for Rowe to fight for custody, as the kids may be worth some cash!

A judge has now ruled that Michael Jackson's longtime attorney and a family friend should take over the estate. Jackson's mother will not to be put in charge like she wanted.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled that attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain (both named in Jackson's 2002 will) will be the administrators of Jackson's estate.
