Didn’t he once promise he would do everything in his power to help catch “the real killer” after his acquittal?

Someone did. They just padded the confession with qualifiers.

Sure. If you’re sitting next to a mirror…

My friend’s son came to her one day and asked if he could use her email and other details to open a new twitter account…his had been banned. So she asked, reasonably, what did you get banned for and are you going to somehow mess up my social media presence (eg. will you get me banned too?). He sheepishly responded that for the last 30 days, every day, he had posted on OJ’s twitter “have you found the real killer yet?”…and got banned for harassment. Plus, he didn’t plan on repeating said behavior with her linked account.

She not only gave him her info to get back on twitter, but told him she may never have been more proud. High Fives all around…

When I think back to that whole, bizarre, tragic and ultimately infuriating event, from the murder to the trial and the media orgy during, one thing always remains ponderous; OJ, a wanted man, was given a police escort straight to the door of his house. Has this ever happened before, or since?

Someday I’ll read about OJ in the BBS “Dead Celebrity” discussion. Hopefully I don’t hear about the man again until then.

Living next to the 405 and heard the fleet of news copters coming up the highway, like living in Apocalypse Now Ride of the Valkyries. I called the Mrs and advising caution as The Juice was Loose!

[ETA: This bit was sposed to be replying to MJones524, and I don’t know how to fix it:] Not when the suspects are Black, that’s for shit sure.

I was at work at the Upland German Deli on Foothill Blvd (AKA Route 66), and Tante Inga had the radio on, as always. We heard every detail as it unfolded, and then saw it on the news when we got home.

Good thing you were drinking apple juice.

OJ will kill you.

it certainly never has during a Knicks playoff game, F OJ for that alone.

Centuries of goodwill regarding the injustice meted out to African-Americans spent on this one person. You just gotta feel for the victims’ families who have been sentenced to waking up each morning and know that this jackass has admirers and is living a “good life.”

Oh, well.

The golf courses were all clear last time he checked. May be time to try again…

Would you mind rephrasing that? I find it very confusing. . .

I’m somewhat surprised that OJ Simpson hasn’t yet washed up in Russia, like some celebrities past their best-before dates tend to do (e.g. Steven Seagal, Gerard Depardieu). Simpson’s expertise in looking for the “real killers” would certainly be helpful for solving such utter mysteries like the downing of MH-17 or the Salisbury poisonings.
