OJ: Made in America

Haven't a clue, none would be my guess!! On the subject of running away, you soon went quiet when the FTSE 100 and 250 rocketed up, you should stop reading that old battleaxe Polly Toynbee in the Grauniad!! I have made a fuckton of filthy lucre from buying shares when they dipped, good job I don't take financial advice from harridan harpies like you.

I was speaking long term you dumb shit, and your outlook isn't good.

However, given the events in Turkey it's possible I would reevaluate my position.

I started watching it Cawacko, I dvr'd it on ESPN they keep rerunning it so it was easy. Then last weekend I came down with a flu that is the worst thing I ever had and I am still sick, but since Friday I able to speak and point to the tv and say "OJ". Just as an aside, what great pleasure it gave me to just happen to open this board, just on the off chance i could distract myself from my illness ( I couldn't because reading the screen made me feel more nauseous) and just happen to open a thread those two pissant little woman hating rat fuckers anatta and Tom tried to sneak by. I almost have this image of them looking furtively around, oh Darla's not posting, and going for it "Hey BROS guess what Jimmy CARTER says Hillarys a lying whore we were right we were right!!!!". And the joy I took in sniping those two disgusting little shit-encrusted rodents was the only pleasure in that fever-filled day. But it was a fine one.

Anway, I am at the end of part 3. Really the egos here are amazing. I was watching Marcia Clark actually state "I can really speak to black women" and go and on about the special connection she had with black women. Now I remember her well and she never came off like she had a connection to anyone. That implies being able to tell a story and bring your audience along with you emotionally. She did nothing but lecture and instruct. It was always you MUST do this, you MUST find this, you MUST find that. And Chris Dardin and of course every single one of them at the defense table. But who really stands out for being absolutely off-the-charts repulsive is Cochran. I really didn't know he had such a repellent, repulsive personality. And I'm someone who would naturally be on his side and believe his work against the notorious abuses of that very sick LAPD that existed then was good work.

As far as any idea of OJ being innocent, that's just offensive. He was a man who beat his wife over a period of years, who controlled her, who dominated her, tortured her, and who abused her in every way including mentally, keeping her in a state of terror. A classic abuser who eventually murdered his victim exactly when he judged she had finally broken free from his control. The same exact time it always happens.

It is an excellent series and I really appreciate the historical work ESPN did here, I learned a lot. I absolutely LOVED the juxtaposition between athletes and men like Ali and Jim Brown, men of character. And we saw that early on OJ had no character. I thought that was so striking. He was a narcissist who eventually turned into a monster from OD'ing on adulation, love and worship. From celebrity. But he was who he was at the beginning. That was always there.

Have you gotten to the point where they interview the jurors?

Yes you do that, the EU is in terminal decline and we got out before the brown stuff hits the fan! You ought to thanking us as Brexit might just be the gigantic kick up the arse that the EU needs to save itself before it's too late!!

Maybe not, I am blurry on that. I fell asleep while watching it last night and needed a break. I'll probably rewatch the last part of 3 tonight. I know I missed some stuff.

Would be very curious to hear your reaction to their responses. They interview two women. One spoke of how she didn't have sympathy for Nicole Simpson because she kept coming back to a man who beat her. Another said the fact he beat her doesn't mean he would kill her. Both basically admitted they were giving the middle finger to the police with their verdict. It was also mentioned the one black male on the jury gave the raised black power fist to OJ after the verdict was read.

Yeah I didn't see it yet. I must have fallen asleep before that. I'll watch it tonight and let you know.

I thought some of those admissions were pretty stunning.

I was also surprised by some of the comments from black leaders about the reaction of that community to the verdict. OJ's guilt or innocence really didn't make a difference. The trial had completely become about Mark Fuhrman.

You confuse me, earlier you were saying that OJ was innocent. Are you changing your mind now?

Yeah Fuhrman huh. Isn't that rat bastard just as slimy as ever though? It was very difficult listening to him. Of course he's over at FOX now I believe, where all celebrated scumbags go. That is one jury I'd never want to be on. You have this unrepentant psychopathic racist, fully capable of planting evidence, a clearly guilty defendant but does Fuhrman's presence give reasonable doubt? Then you have the spectre of a young man, obviously the apple of his family's eye, dead for truly being in the wrong place in the wrong moment, and a woman who was tortured psychologically and physically beaten and abused for years, dead. I don't know what I would have done, but I am not excusing those jurists or their comments. I think they're stupid and have very low IQ's and i believe the truest statement about the jury selection process was the guy who basically said you go find 12 people who say they have nothing to do for the next SIX months. What do you think you're going to dredge up?

It was at times truly hard to listen to them. I had the program on while I was packing. I decided I need to record it and watch it with my full attention.

I went to USC and have love what OJ did on the field for the University. I will always have love for him because of that. Since tone and all that can be difficult to decipher on this board take a lot of what I say on this subject with a grain of salt.

So do you think he is guilty or not?
 
Cawacko has the Rainman on him now!

I already read between those lines pages ago. Cawacko knows OJ is guilty. What's fascinating is Mott may not.
 
The verdict came during my senior year at 'SC. I cut class that day to watch. My room in the fraternity was at the end of the hall. You've never seen a white guy run so fast and jump so high in excitement when the verdict was announced.

I wanted to go downtown and celebrate with the others but then thought better against it.

I didn't pay any attention to the trial, so had no opinion on his guilt or innocence. I was with a group of older white folks when they announced, and everyone was just stricken.

I think the one thing that one of his ex-friends said really stood out. In order for Furhman to plant that glove, he'd really have to know that OJ had no alibi, and there wasn't any way for him to know that at the time.
