In the side of the picture theres glass panes... I see this a lot what are they for?

They are for autocues. They reflect an autocue screen that can't be seen by the audience. This allows the presenter to appear to be speaking without notes or without a conventional autocue screen blocking the audience's view of them.

Aw I was hoping it was to protect from assassinations like in South Park.

strategically placed bullet-proof glass shields. They already know from where the sniper will hit. See? M.J. is giving him the finger and taunting him.

Yes, but in the second picture he quickly notices that the shield is quite not large enough.

Hahaaaaa!

It's the portal that MJ escaped through when he faked his own death, duh. The world mourns while he moonwalks along the edge of Elvis' swimming pool in Rio de Janeiro.
