Police took control of the crowds and created a lineup for fans wishing to pause by Jackson's Walk of Fame star (KingoftheHill)
It's been less than 48 hours since news of Michael Jackson's death at the age of 50 broke, and the fan tributes from his many local fans continue to pour in at significant locations around Los Angeles, including the Jackson family home in Encino and Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The tributes include flowers, candles, notes, and mementos, and already commemorative T-Shirts are up for sale from enterprising capitalists. A woman showed off her brand new Michael Jackson tattoo (on her, err, rear end) for a photog--one of the few who have added their images of the fan tributes to our LAist Featured Photos pool on Flickr.

So when does the city come and throw all that crap in the garbage?

LAist readers (and their comments) are becoming increasingly predictable.

Did everyone forget he molested kids??!
Come on people!
Patty, I have always been sceptical about the accusers and the accusations. Seems to me that it's really easy to sully someone's reputation for a very long time with a charge like child molestation.
The one thing that strikes me is that every one of his accusers seemed more interested in getting into Michael Jackson's pockets than getting justice for anything that might have been done to their child. If I personally had ever had a child molested, I would be a lot more interested in getting the perpetrator off the street, and making sure it didn't happen to another child, than I would be in bilking the perpetrator out of money.
