6: depeche mode - never let me down again

24: depeche mode - everything counts

I love it

so then there is o.j. simpson, who was an incredibly charismatic and beloved football player, who turned out to be a sociopath, but he grew up in the projects and as soon as he got out he turned his back on the community, never gave back, moved to super white, rich neighborhood brentwood and mostly hung out with rich white people and was super cool with the LAPD and invited them to pool parties at his mansion and shit (so the idea that they framed him for murder is RIDICULOUS) but anyways he had a terrible temper and beat his wife, nicole brown often which was swept under the carpet bc he was famous and she often called 911 fearing for her life and almost no reports were made. so she left him but he would follow her and threaten her, show up at her house and abuse her and one time she was at home with this waiter ron goldman and o.j. showed up and killed them both, stabbing them like 20 times each WHILE HIS CHILDREN WERE ASLEEP UPSTAIRS and rushed home to pack for a flight for chicago an hour later. when the police showed up later that night and realized it was simpson’s ex-wife, they went immediately to his house to alert him (and were concerned he might be in danger as well) and he wasn’t home but his house guest kato was and mentioned that he felt an earthquake an hour earlier but there was no earthquake so they checked behind the poolhouse and found a glove that matched a glove at the crime scene and a bloody thumbprint on o.j.’s infamous white ford bronco, and blood and hair in the car that belonged to him and both of the victims. BASICALLY there was an OVERWHELMING amount of evidence to prove his guilt, coupled with recorded 911 calls from his wife on numerous occasions to establish his history with domestic violence, it is obvious that he did it. so the fact that he got off is upsetting for that reason alone. 

BUT THEN everything about the case was so sensationalized and people were watching it every day on tv and everyone was addicted to it. on the day his lawyers were going to take him to the jail he had a gun and kept threatening to kill himself and escaped with his friend driving an identical white ford bronco which when the police found him turned into a slow-speed car chase as he kept threatening to kill himself if they stopped and that he just wanted to go see his mama. FINALLY they talked him out of the car, but like everything was so fucking melodramatic. and his main lawyer, johnnie cochran made the who trial about how black people in LA are victimized by the LAPD, which is fucked up bc OJ WAS SO DETACHED FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY LIKE???? this wasn’t a guy who was arrested bc he was black HE COMMITTED TWO INCREDIBLY VIOLENT MURDERS, but the trial was such a circus they were able to get the jury to doubt enough to rationalize getting him off. and his lawyers pulled some dirty, unethical shit. one of the odd things looking back though, is that oj and his wife nicole were good friends with robert and kris kardashian, robert kardashian of course being the father of kim (as well as khole, kourtney, and rob jr) and was a lawyer and on oj’s legal team. he was initially blinded by his friendship with oj and believed he was innocent but realized the truth which was pretty upsetting considering he was close to nicole as well as oj. but like, that was one of the things that added to some of kim’s fame early on, since everyone involved in the oj trial was pretty famous.
