Did OJ Do It - Again?

Just when I think OJ has turned the corner of stupidity as I did in my 8/28 post, he outdoes himself with an even more outrageous shot in the foot - this one could very well get him some hard time for the rest of his miserable life.

I can only conclude that he must be seriously mentally disturbed - he can't possible be sane and make the kind of self-defeating decisions as he did in writing the book last year, and as he just did in Las Vegas. If he was sane he would have known the Goldman's would have a financial interest in setting him up in a high-publicity sting, so that the book they just released last week would get a much needed shot in the arm for increased sales. Sure enough the publisher just announced ordering an additional 50,000 copies from the printer - solely on the basis of OJ's arrest this week, and almost certain future conviction and jailing.

I believe the unsavory characters that were arrested with him, as well as the money-grubbing Goldmans, were in this caper together for the purpose of exploiting OJ's mentally ill condition, knowing that he would stupidly fall for the slightest provocation and enticement.

Some people can't be saved from themselves - OJ certainly falls into this category! Instead of acquiring another blond, live-in, Nicole look-alike, named Christie Prody (29 yrs. his junior), he should have just confined himself to some secluded area of the country and lived quietly. But no, he had to travel to the best known town for getting into trouble - Las Vegas, and now he's facing upwards of 50+ years of jail-time if he is convicted of all the felonies charged.

I'm embarrassed for him and his family, but I can no longer empathize with him on a racial solidarity basis - he's far too stupid to be black! It's one thing to be crazy, but it's far worst to be stupid - sadly OJ is both, big-time!

This time I think the jig is up, and the freedom he has enjoyed since his miraculous acquittal in his infamous 'trial of the century' 12 years ago, is almost certainly about to come to an end.

Here's what I wrote to a friend about the book that is now on sale:

Jeff,
You have been hoodwinked by the book "If I Did It".

Simpson is a huckster and a hustler, that's his background and that is what he would have been even without a football career. This book is another one of his hustles. To pick out passages and assert that they constitute a 'confession' is ludicrous. He said exactly what he needed to say in order to make this a viable and saleable book - anything less would not make it marketable. If I was in a position to write such a book and make potential millions, I would write exactly what he wrote. It's not hard to do - the facts of the case are well known, and a collaboration with a skilled ghost-writer would help put it into the proper words for maximum effect.

Think about it - what incentive would OJ have to write a true 'confession' now, even if he could not be tried again for those crimes? - exactly none. White folks are just desperate to get a 'confession' out of him, and are fooling themselves into thinking that he finally did - but this sure ain't it!

Simpson is not the only hustler, Fred Goldman is also one. He has been hustling to get paid for his phony civil verdict for years, and thinks nothing of stooping low enough to use this hustle for his own enrichment, as Denise Brown has correctly noted. You are furthering this hustle by encouraging others to buy it and read it - that's buying into his and Goldman's hustle big-time!

I'm afraid the joke is on you Jeff - pulled off by an OJ who I feel is mentally disturbed, maybe insane, but still sane enough to write this book, and have his cartoonish tormentor, Fred Goldman, scam you and anyone else who buys this book!
