Where we talk about the Juice...
I have been watching American Crime Story.
I think it is pretty interesting. Given the media exposure this got way back in the day. Of course I missed most of that because I was busy with other things back then, the night of the big Bronco chase I was tied up graduating from High School. I can not say that I am totally ignorant to the case because in 1994-95 it was about impossible to get away from. I will say this I didn't pay a lot of attention to it all because I thought from day one that OJ committed these murders. I still think that...but...
Now what 20 some years later...given the circumstances of my own life...I think I can better understand OJ's frame of mind at the time. I can for sure understand his frame of mind that lead up to the Bronco chase and the fallout. That is not to imply guilt but when the mother of your children dies...things get pretty weird. Normal thoughts kind of take a vacation and I do not want to go all Hulk Hogan and say that I can see why OJ did it...because I can't...there are some places my mind cannot go even in the darkest of times. I will say that I did not like the way the police went about informing me of my e-wife's death...or the way they looked at me like I was involved in it...and I had a bulletproof alibi.
I guess even though I still think he did it, and deserves the punishment he got...I think I can sympathize with where he was at. Maybe I just understand his mindset. I know nothing about what kind of person Nicole Brown was, and it seems obvious to say she didn't deserve to be horribly murdered, but having a adversarial relationship between two people trying to parent children together is about the worse hell one can imagine. Again I am not advocating murder or violence against women. I am just saying I can understand what one's mind goes through when these kind of circumstances evolve.
I guess in the end this series just provoked an emotional response in me, and it was pretty different that the response I was expecting. Granted 20 years changes a person a whole lot. If I had one criticism of the show it would be all the Kardashian stuff involved. If I wanted to see something about them I could literally watch almost any other TV show. Which is way most of the time I just watch Netflix. When I think back to when this was going on I really assumed that the Kardashian's were just minor players in the entire saga.
I really wonder what kind of reaction this post is gonna get. I assume more people are gonna say I am just a misogynist. For the record I do not hate all women. Specifically I hate one particular woman and have very bad feelings towards another...the rest of ya'll are good with me.
