Anybody Seen Baretta?

So O.J. has been granted parole and I find myself unable to give a fuck. Not one. Zero, nada, none, nohl. Legally there wasn’t much of a challenge. Dumbass did his time and apparently was a model prisoner so no surprise, they let him go. Now maybe he’ll go somewhere and sit his ashy ass down. Seriously dude got away with murder double murder and then goes to jail for jacking his own shit and gets sentenced to 33 years. Did I mention it was his own shit? He deserved jail just for the sheer stupidity and for apparently forgetting he had already used his one Get Out Of Jail Free card.

Here’s the thing. O.J.’s murder trial was never about his guilt or innocence. The trial was about the guilt of America’s racist criminal justice system and I get it. I get why Black people would stand behind and support such a cause. The Dream Team was able to shift the focus in the minds of Black people from the actual crime to one of historical racial injustice thereby creating a winning strategy. Which was brilliant strategizing and for that they should be applauded. Unfortunately, the verdict did nothing for a still corrupt and racist criminal justice system…nothing. He was acquitted and ultimately the only thing it proved was that money can buy anything. Including innocence. He was never the humble innocent man victimized by a racist system which was the ticket his team sold to Black America. To be honest, there were and still are many more deserving of a Dream Team. Post acquittal he was the same arrogant, egotistical asshole he had been before. He could’ve spent his remaining days playing golf and chilling in Florida and I don’t know maybe shown some actual humility by doing something to express appreciation to a community who had rallied and stood behind him.

But he couldn’t shut up or be bothered with Black people because as he said himself, "I'm not Black, I'm O.J."  He could not stand being out of the spotlight, so every time you looked around there he was. Hanging out with various blonde White women and writing stupid books like, If I Did It. This book was essentially a confessional which detailed how he would have committed the murders...if he had done it. Because. He. Did. It. Yep, I said it and I’ve said it for years. I said it before the trial, during the trial and after the trial and I was villainized for it. But the fact is there weren’t any secret Ninjas in the dead of night folks, the LAPD did not frame him, it wasn’t his damn son or the Illuminati nor any of the other seriously ridiculous theories floated over the years. The murders were committed by Orenthal James Simpson. So just stop it. His ass is guilty…and you know it.

At any rate, writing dumb books and talking about how he was looking for the real killer while relaxing on the golf course and partying with the aforementioned blondes was like rubbing salt in the wound and it just antagonized and pissed off White people more and more. So they kept messing with him. The FBI searched his home for drugs and accused him of money laundering. DirecTV sued him for pirating broadcast signals. Really, they did and they won. Then he was arrested for speeding…on a boat. Seriously, who gets arrested for speeding on the water? If it was a speed trap where would they even hide? Dumb ass. That alone should have been his cue that they were looking for a reason any reason to lock his Black ass up. But nope he’s sitting around one night chilling and drinking with his homies and one of them says “you know what Juice, we oughta go get your shit” and…well you know the rest.

So here’s a question. When was the last time anyone heard from Robert Blake? Seriously, where the hell is Baretta. He too was questionably acquitted for the murder of his wife but you know what he did. Got the hell out of town. Fell completely off the radar and we haven’t heard from or seen him since. Unfortunately, this will not be the case for Mr. Simpson. In his mind he’s still the Juice from the 70’s flying through airports, renting cars from Avis and everyone knows and loves him. Mark my words, his attention seeking ass will return and with a blonde on each arm. They’re lined up at the prison gates right now waiting for him.
