Your posts are sometimes very interesting to read but when you lose perspective you really run off the rails.

FWIW I agree with you that OJ is a horrible guy that killed two people. His celebrity trial probably did substantially amplify racial animus but that's about the end of where I can find common ground. Judge Ito alone might have prevented what harm the OJ trial caused simply by preventing the trial from being our first major reality television event.

Los Angeles was already a seething cauldron. There clearly were problems within the Los Angeles police department and there clearly were problems with both severe crime and urban blight that impacted the way even a better police force would have been able to act. The Rodney King and Reginald Denny beatings were very fresh on people's minds. Race riots in multiple cities around the country had happened in prior decades. OJ didn't create any of that.

The 24/7 news cycle was already pumping. Celebrity obsession with killers was already present (Manson, Patty Hearst, and Son of Sam were already household names). OJ didn't create that obsession.

The roots of Black Lives Matter, White Privilege, the substitution of race for class as primary indices of oppression to rail against were already being institutionalized in universities around the country. The misbehavior of major intellectuals in this area is something for them to be called to account for - not OJ.

The trial also highlighted terrible aspects of the American legal system that OJ can hardly be blamed for - nor his lawyers be blamed for in his case any more than the many other cases they represented before OJ. The system does suck and produce highly unequal results on the basis of how good the respective lawyers are for each party. It also should have highlighted the danger of allowing the unfettered right of the press to interfere with the right of the accused and the aggrieved parties to a fair and speedy trial. But OJ didn't create any of that either.

pretty sure oj had them killed but did not actually do it

The state and defense only have a limited amount of “strikes”, for a jury.

I read the book when it came out and it detailed most of the same information. The book was bad enough, but that interview last night was sickening. I really wonder what OJ’s kids are thinking now. I can’t even imagine how Nicole and Ron Goldman’s feel now.

I know and she fricked up from jump.

And to think whoever was with OJ got off free too.
Probably Cowlings.

The narcissism that is the Internet? All on you OJ. Black Lives Matter and white privilege? Come on out OJ. A celebrity running for President? Obama couldn’t have done it before OJ.

Pretty big reaches, especially the narcissism on the internet, I'm not sure how you even come up with a connection to OJ there

It's amazing (sort of) that with all the crazy people around doing crazy acts of violence that no one has decided to off OJ "just because". I mean, wouldn't it be more appealing to off OJ than some random innocent person or God forbid schoolchildren?

Speaking of Kardashian, didn't they make him OJ's attorney in order to sweep everything OJ told him under attorney-client privilege?

---

He reactivated his law license so he could be on his team which protected everything they said.

I remember reading some story that he walked out of OJ's house with a bag

---

He got it out front of OJ's house. OJ got out of the car returning from Chicago holding a bag. Police took it. Forget who, but a woman had another bag. The 2 talked for a few and slowly it became in RK's possession.

When he's clear....he walks away with it. He says he never looked inside and I believe that. He didn't want to believe his buddy was guilty.

Footage can be watched on netflix....Kardashian: The Man Who Saved O.J. Simpson

Goldmans/Browns were notified years later that Kardashian had left them a package in his will or something. Then at the last minute Kris backed out of the deal.

Haven't heard that before, but I don't know.
