I remember watching the trial and I can say that Rodney king and the OJ trial are when things started going down hill for America, racially speaking. At the time I felt and still feel the Rodney king beating was not only disgusting but eye opening and the rap music I was listening to at the time was bringing to light an issue not many non black people were aware of.

When the OJ verdict was announced I felt Justice wasn’t served but I understood why black people were happy with the outcome, finally one of theirs got to take advantage of an unjust system. Listening to the trial and watching him action while trying to put on the bloody glove was when I thought the case was closed and he was guilty.

I’m sure no one does but I thought it was a pivotal moment in media history that it was worth discussing, I guess not.

The end of the OJ trial was the last time I remember thinking purely like a conservative. I was in my AP English class when we watched the verdict come in live, and I remember all the kids hooting and cheering for the “not guilty” verdict while our English teacher looked at us with disgust. I told her “Don’t you get it? This just proves we’re living in a post-racial society. When a rich white man and a rich black man can both be acquitted of murder, justice is truly [color]blind!”

Wife called me saying he died, all tiered up, I'm like so what good.

Told my son, I was gonna raz her if she cried during Dahmer or Bundy getting dead.

She said she was crying for Nicole and Ron. That finally, he will pass ultimate judgement if there is any. (also hormonal too) nother discussion.

Was the trial of the century, for the 1990s . We now have the next trial(s) of the century coming up in the 2000+s

I think you're actually missing how that trial exposed basically every single flaw in our judicial system. It wasn't just the glove, or extravagance of his defense team, as those alone wouldn't have saved him. It took a confluence of other factors, racial tensions due to rampant racism by the LAPD (which directly undermined them and should have been a lesson for policing) with a detective's racism trashing his credibility, coupled with use of new forensic science (jurors I think have said that the lengthy scientific explanation of DNA matching undermined it in their eyes - basically it made it difficult for them to follow the validity of it - ironically its one of the few forensic science things that has gotten stronger and not been revealed to be junk science), poor judgement by prosecutor's office, and the media and celebrity obsession of America (and the world really, but especially America in the 90s), coupled with TV enabling it to be prime viewing. Simply put, the OJ Simpson trial might be the most American thing ever. Involved our broken judicial and political systems, sports/NFL (if OJ had been found guilty I could see lawyers arguing for him to get a new trial to argue insanity based on CTE), and just. The only real arguments is that he didn't do it with a gun while arguing a bald eagle actually did it (if you know true crime you know what I'm referencing there) and how he was asleep by the pool after he got drunk on Budweiser after eating hot dogs and cheeseburgers followed by apple pie after doomscrolling social media about how 9/11 was an inside job by jewish space lasers put on alien UFOs on his iphone. Ok, so it really isn't the most American thing ever, but its pretty close to the most singularly American point of human history.

And yet, for all of it, it really came down to simple investigation, with one of the all too common, fragile male ego turns man into violent psychopath when rebuffed by a woman.



Christ you sound like an asshole.

Also, Dahmer and Bundy are both already dead (for decades, Bundy's been dead for over 35 years, and Dahmer died between the murder and trial of OJ so about 30 years), but ok?

I'd say maybe reflect on why a woman might cry when a man that notoriously brutally murdered his wife died, but guessing there's no real chance of it so it'd be lost on you, even after your wife seems to have explained it to you. The fact that you behaving like that is so normalized that you thought to post it on a message board like you're bragging about what an asshole you are is telling though.

One was a rich guy that clearly killed two people and got off because... well... rich guy.
The other was a heinous example of police racism.

Oh, this context is rather enlightening.

I feel like it explains BLM and false idols. There are many actual victims to choose from, but they often raise up teens who attacked police and others.
I think, now, I understand why. They do not seek justice, they seek vengeance. And murdering people is an acceptable form of attaining that. If they cannot get vengeance on the street, they try in the courtroom. They endorse the guilty.

The outcome is proudly stated as "packback", and now I think I see a clearer picture. Both then and now.

... not. Murdering ones wife is still a valid form of self expression.
