The Issue: The death of former NFL running back and actor O.J. Simpson, accused of double murder in 1995.
Good riddance to O.J. Simpson (“Verdict a race disgrace,” April 12).
Simpson’s trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman was the genesis for what has since become a constant trend of race-baജiting and division. Simpson and his defense team shamelessly exploited America’s racial wounds, 🔜turning what should have been a trial about the loss of innocent lives into a spectacle that pitted white against black.
This ignited a flame of racial discord that still smolders today. We see it in the disaster that has been DEI, which has shamelessly and blindly put minorities ahead of whites in various fields and occupations with disastrous consequences (ahem, Boeing).
No one is above accountability regardless of race. Simpson’s exploitat♔ion of 💜race for personal gain, however, proves that the faulty system in our country of liberal judges, politicians, media acolytes and their progressive enablers will continue to push anti-white politics — to the detriment of society.

Eight pages of Friday’s paper were dedicated to Simpson — a murderer — and it was done well.
I lived through that time, and I was glued to the white Ford Bronco fiasco. If anything, that miserable human being did not🔯 deserve anything more than one long paragraph dedicated to h𝔍im.

Simpson’s criminal trial was a me🌠dia event beautifully played by Simpson’s lawyers.
“If the glove doesn’t fit” was repeated ad nauseam and gave Simpson a get-out-of-jail-free card alongside unnecessary media cove🎃rage. In my years of practice, police fumbles are frequent and the accused walk.
It is a shame that the Scot🍬tish verdict of “not proven” was never adopted in the United States. This verdict means th🙈at the prosecutor would have been able to recharge Simpson.

I have always been a fan and subscriber of The Post, but the front page of Simpson with the caption “Real Kil♕ler is Dead” is deploܫrable.
Simpson was found not guilty, so why hurt 𒐪a dead man’s family even further to make a p๊oint while they are grieving the loss of their father?
How d▨o you think his children feel? They likely feel gutted after Friday’s cover. Again, remember he was found not guilty.

I thought The Post came down too hard on Simpson.𒉰 The editors seemed to forget that Simpson was found innocent by a jury of his peers.
He was the embodiment of the American dream: going from rags to r⭕iches as a football star and then a Hollyw🔯ood stalwart.
But somewhere in all that odyssey the American public swallowed up Simpson’s ce🌃lebrity and then unceremoniously spit it out🐷.
He was left for dead by a fickle American public, and he descended into a frenzy of𒁏 self-loathing and despair, which likely hastened the spread of his cancer.
I wish Simpson a safe journey across the River 🌺S🌞tyx.

All I c🃏an say now is that justice has finally been served with Simp🌜son’s death.
The whole trial was a complete disaster from when it started. There was overwhelming evidence that Simpson was guilty — and yet he walked away a fr🍌ee man.
The fami🍎lies of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman can now be at ease knowing that Simpson is finally 𝓡paying for his crime after all these years.

Karma finally caught up to O.J. Simpson.
He was the ultimate narcissist, who searched golf courses and the desert idyll of Las Vegas in pursuit of the “real killer.” He just needed to look no further ꦏthan his own mirror to find the savage who murdered his ex-wife and Goldman.
Tꦑhe fact he was acquitted was a travesty. There is no room in hell for his Heisman trophy, but I’m sure he will have lots of company with the dev💟il’s subjects.
