Yes, OJ the murderer, NOT the juice inventor

Ah, my young friends, I keep forgetting how young you both are and that there are things that have occurred in my lifetime but not in yours. The phrase "white bronco police chase" means nothing to you. Well, OJ is a nickname for man whose given birth name is Orenthal James Simpson. Yes, OJ is cutesy nickname for a popular morning beverage, however, if I had a name like Orenthal, I’d let you call me anything but Orenthal... even Papa Smurf or Captain Doody.

Anyway, OJ was an extremely popular athlete (football). If you don’t want to sit thru reels of boring old NFL footage, you could watch him on YouTube in some old Hertz rent a car commercials, or have your mom and dad rent the comedies Naked Gun and Naked Gun 2. After he retired from pro-football, he had a role in both these imbecilic yet oddly amusing movies and also appeared in several ads for Hertz Rental Cars. In your lifetime, celebrity crossovers are a dime a dozen... but in 1994, OJ made a very unexpected crossover... into crime. He brutally murdered his ex-wife and her friend. You are both young and I don’t want to give you any of the details. All you need to know as that the murder was brutal, gruesome and purely evil. Now as you know, our judicial system is just as fucked up as our political system. Throw in money, power, fame and the overplayed supposed issue of race and this ultimately led to a obviously guilty man being set free. This murder trial had practically every American tuning in and following along. You could stay online for a year reading about this event and still not read everything. Anyway, since the court system declared him innocent and he was free to return to life as usual, his name has surfaced in the news from time to time, one skirmish or another. And with his involvement in a completely different crime over a decade after he was set free from the murder charges in 1994, the court system has finally rendered him guilty with something else. He is going to jail.

What it boils down to is this... OJ is a despicable, twisted, evil man. Life in prison, or even a long stint in prison, is not good enough for this foul piece of human garbage. He deserves a lot worse than what he’s ultimately getting....
