Aye. Fuckin' weak, one of the big reasons I want out of here.
I heard about this earlier today, and read all the evidence on Wikipedia's page about it. It must be said I'm absolutely amazed he wasn't convicted in the first place. Irrespective of whether the prosecution bodged it, and the investigating police were racist, the evidence seems fairly overwhelming. WTF?
It seems like a preposterous piece of fiction, but sadly it isn't. I only know 3 truths in this world: 1) boobs are great, 2) beer is tasty, and 3) OJ did it. One of the jurors who LET THE MURDERER GO said something like "they saids blood was all over his Bronco, that be funny stuff!" I mean come on. The dude flees in a vehicle, on national television, where the two victims blood was spattered everywhere. You can't make this shit up!
If he would have been convicted the whole negar society would have thrown another temper tantrum and started another LA Riot.
It still sickens me to this day that some in the black community consider OJ's freedom a victory for their cause. No. MLK Jr. was a victory. Muhammad Ali was a victory. Malcom X was a victory. Shit even Spike Fucking Lee is a victory. OJ Simpson is a worthless my pals.
i'm assuming they're adding in royalties ?
So I wasn't in the US when all this shitz was going down -- were people watching the court case like a daytime soap opera then?
I always hear people asking, "so where were you when OJ was found not guilty", as if 250 million Americans tuned in to watch the final score.
Yeah, it was more meaningful than the Berlin wall coming down, it even overshadowed it for most people. Like you said, only in America.
LOL - actually, I remember the Bronco car chase much more than the verdict reading. I was in a pizza shop buying a delicious chicken parm grinder when I looked up and saw the breaking news. Talk about a "WTF?" moment.
I was coming home from a friend's house, walked into mom's room and she said "yeah apparently OJ killed his wife and now he's running, check it out." I think I said "well sumbitch!"
I watched most of the trial on TV, I was 16 when it all went down so it was the last summer before I started working. That summer was glorious, full of the OJ trial, Jeno's pizza, and masturbating. Memories.....
