O.J. Is Not O.K.

Good morning, America. We bring you the latest news. An  unprecedented opportunity is taking place. It's something original for your personal happiness. A special trading card is now available for your collection. You can be in the center of this exciting venture.

Imagine your name on trading cards, bought by kids and adult's world over.  Become famous and have your picture and the picture of your car, wife, family, and maybe your lawyer on the trading card circuit. You don't have to be an athlete or hero. Just be yourself and Kaboom! You are the one picked. A dream comes true.

How does  this happen? Become involved in a horrible murder case and you are in business. If you have a car that was used in a police pursuit then you have an opportunity to make a fast buck. Your car will now be photographed and proudly displayed on a collector's card. If you were chased by twenty or thirty law-enforcement cars and were lucky enough to be filmed on TV, then you can demand top dollar and maybe some auto maverick will advertise your car as an "O.J get-away special."

Crazy, you think. Well, it's happening right now at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. You can now buy collectors cards, ten different cards depicting the O.J. Simpson saga. The complete set is called "In Pursuit of Justice" .

Who knows what's next? Maybe a picture of the victim's dog with blood splattered all over or a knife with blood dripping in bright red.

The public display of bleeding hearts for the American dream man, O.J. Simpson, is unbelievable. Half of our residents feel sympathy for Simpson. They seem to say that we should honor this great man at all costs.           

His lawyers are bent on smashing the prosecutor's chance to have the case proceed. It's unnerving to me that O.J.'s main lawyer, Mr. Shapiro, is portraying Simpson as a battered man who must be protected from a zealous hanging mob. Nothing can be further then the truth. He asks that the host of incriminating objects, starting with the bloody car and tissue samples, be disallowed, all in the name of honesty. If there is no case, why does Mr. Shapiro need to bring in attorney, Mr. Allan Dershowitz, and his kind.                

It would seem to any thinking person that there is a lot more about O.J. that we need to know about. After reading the emergency 911 report and the police report of O.J. bashing the window of his wife's car, I wonder if I'm missing something.

I'm glad that Hertz-rent-a-car ads showed O.J. sprinting to a parked rented car. If the car had been moving, the kind hearted O.J might have been there with a bat to get his car.
