Lucky 13

I had very little desire to give O.J. Simpson this much blog space. But thirteen years ago to the day, after O.J.'s acquittal in the murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, jurors deliberated for thirteen hours and came back with a guilty verdict. Lucky 13.
I need to issue a correction on my previous blog about O.J. I said that if found guilty he could do five years. Actually, the judge could give him five years to life. The defense attorneys in this case believe the jurors are punishing O.J. for getting away with murder. If you believe that O.J. did murder those two people then you might feel like this is justice.
Upon hearing the verdict O.J.'s sister sobbed and finally collapsed. Paramedics were called in to look after her. Such a reaction can only mean that she truly believes that her brother is innocent, and probably of all crimes. For, if she knew her brother to be a bad seed she'd probably have folded her arms, shook her head and whispered, 'Ummmhmm, that's my brother.'
I've often been asked why I dislike O.J. so much. One big reason is that when he was going through the big trial thirteen years ago the black community rallied around him. They supported him as if he were family. Doing so solely because of race was totally disagreeable to me. Literally the day after he was acquitted he was asked by a reporter,"..say O.J. now that you're free are you going to give something back to the community that supported you?" And without batting an eye he claimed that O.J. Simpson (yes he went 3rd person) owes nobody and isn't doing anything for any community because o.J. only looks after O.J. I'm not claiming that the man owed anybody, but a thank you at the very least was in order. And you know what it serves the black community right for standing behind such a self centered, ego maniacal, son of a bitch. Oh yeah, another reason I can't stand him is because he killed those two people, or at least had it done. And if he had it done I guarantee he watched. It's sort of like trying to retrieve memorabilia and instead of hiring it done you go yourself with a gang of losers and have one of them wave a gun around. And just to seal your fate with this genius plan you shout that nobody is leaving this room. Smooth move Simpson, you've just added a kidnapping beef to your charge.
I can't imagine the judge will give him life but even if he gives him the minimum, how well do you think a former football star at 61 years of age with a constant attitude of entitlement will hold up? Enjoy your stay Mr. Juice.
