The overall CE folder, here, that's what.
If you look from the homepage, 2nd column over on the right, you'll see that right now it will reflect "10,002". After you post it will say "10,003"...

Count me out when considering “the people” on that one, thanks though. You've got to lift yourself up out of yourself every once in a while and try and see things from a different perspective, even if only momentarily, AMPy. IMO |

I can understand where you’re coming from, but seeing OJ “walk” is nothing I can ever see myself getting behind in any way, shape or form. It’s just flat out stomach turning.
But I will give U2 another shot….*turns on How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb*………Nah, nevermind.

I know there are some people who see OJ getting off (even though even they will admit they think he did it) as "one for the people" but I have to agree with amp, I'm not one of those people. Especially since most of that thinking is racial, I think it's a very dangerous mindset and I don't think even for the purposes of "thinking outside the box" should be given any validation.

I don’t think I ever told this story to anyone, but it indeed can be one for the racial aspect of the case. The day the verdict was to be read someone brought in a TV. When it came time for the announcement everyone crowded into the office. When “Not guilty” was announced the room was silent except for a single solitary “YES!”. We all looked over to see the person who that came out of, it was a black woman. She quickly came out with “My husband owes me 100 bucks.” to cover her outburst. Until that happened, I had absolutely no idea how some people viewed the whole situation.

Of course, the OJ verdict was only a hollow victory for black America, who saw it as vindication over a system often deemed unfair by that population. After all, the major thing that the OJ trial proved was that money, not race, was the deciding factor in the American courtroom.

yeah I heard a similar story, except it was more black people yelling Yes, and they didn't really try to hide it. I don't know why people think like that. I mean black, white, red, blue, it was pretty obvious he was guilty. Unless I was somehow paying attention to a different case.

Yeah it got turned into the "California Vs. black people" somehow...there are some that felt it was validation for the riots. I can't even get my head around that thinking...

The whole OJ thing was as some viewed a payback for Rodney King. But I do know some people honestly believed he was innocent at that time, but I think it had a lot more to do with what they WANTED to believe.
But in fairness if I do remember correctly, and i do believe I was only like 11 when this all went down, the prosecution sucked (not just Marcia on Christopher either) and the LAPD made some mistakes. Plus, hell the gloves didn't fit. Johnnie was brilliant, but the prosecution crashed and burned on that one.
