At last
OJ Simpson has assumed room temperature. What his temperature is at this time is unknown but the world is a little
cleaner. In thirty years a lot of people have died in a world tainted by his presence and many of the people commenting
on it were not born then. I'm one of those that remembers the Bronco chase. I knew then that promoting people to high
levels of society solely because of some attribute, particularly athletic ability, is not a good idea. Even then being a
successful professional athlete could get you into a world that was unattainable on your own merit. He wasn't smart enough to
start a business or write best-sellers, all he could do was run fast.
He wasn't very bright and it showed, but he was tolerated until
he brutally and bloodily murdered
the white wife he had often beaten, and was considered affable and gregarious. Easy enough to do when you're rich and famous and surrounded by sycophants. But the animal came out
one day and that was all for the ex and the poor guy that was with her.
The Rodney King affair no doubt contributed to his
handy acquittal (the clown show of a prosecution helped a lot) but a conviction
was never likely, or at least I didn't expect one. A hung jury maybe, possibly a conviction at another trial. But as one white
juror after another was removed from the jury it became apparent that he would walk. Supposedly the jury had one white and
one mixed-race member but I never saw the white one. Anyway, assuming the white juror had good sense he/she wasn't going to be
the one guilty vote. Neppus said:
I watched that circus knowing how it would end. The black power salute by the juror didn't even surprise me. The hatred of white
people is a cancer destroying the black population. You don't see Asian or Hispanic hatred like this. The news and entertainment
media is responsible for much of it, but black agitators like Sharpton and Jackson deliberately exploit their own people for their own
enrichment.
Same here, it was no surprise to me when he skated. His behavior afterwards seems to me as much his low intelligence as low character, but
I was surprised when he committed another crime (not killing anyone this time) and went to prison.
