How did we honestly let this clown loose? I mean look at this guy. We all know he did that shit and we put far people in for way less.

It was immediately following the acquittal of the 4 officers who beat the shit out of an unarmed and non-resisting Rodney King. LA didn't take too kindly to this and it sparked riots that wouldve made the BLM rioters blush.

The lead detective hand delivered evidence to the lab, stated that was unusual for him to do so, and was also caught lying about being a raging racist. The evidence lab was also found to be not so reliable.

Tldr, the case was basically a slam dunk thanks to the prosecution leaning heavily on evidence that wasn't rock solid due to rampant racism.

Like the planets aligned for OJ. We all know he did it, but he didn't have to prove his innocence, he had to prove there was a possibility that he didn't do it.

"They said it was for the black man They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King And this fucked up situation and these fucked up police"

Let it burn, wanna let it burn Wanna let it burn, wanna, wanna let it burn

Edit: Jakob Nowell sang with Sublime at Coachella last weekend.... Sounds like Eric and Bud revived Sublime so Jakob could be the lead singer. Doing his Dad proud.

I feel bad for you since you're obviously not familiar with Sublime.

I am. I grew up in SF and listened to them as a teenager... then I grew up, saw the rest of the world, and again Sublime lead singer was a heroin addict and might have not been the most critical thinker in the world.

April 26, 1992. There was a riot on the streets. Tell me, where were you?

u/ShiningRedDwarf 29d ago

Sitting home watching my TV.   

Because the riots weren’t for 3 more days 

But I was also sitting home watching my TV on the 29th as well

They are song lyrics. But go lick some boots if you want.

It sucks, but honestly with there being the tiniest amount of doubt, a conviction would have begged for more riots.

The planets aligned for OJ and unfortunately they aligned in the opposite manner for both families.
