Bookstores under fire for promoting OJ Simpson book

by Chaz Z.

OJ, his book and the entire case should be used to highlight how perverse our justice system is and how out of control and "controlling" our media system has become. We can find all the elements of everything our founders had intended the justice system NOT to be, throughout the whole ridiculous event.

It's a blight on our society, and for every single person involved on both sides, an entirely embarrassing, shameful act of disrespect for justice and definitely for human life. Have you ever stopped to think about how many people have literally made a career off this crime and or had their entire financial future forever changed because of it?

First and foremost, any media outlet that says they seek no profit off mentioning anything related to the murderer OJ, or anything or anyone connected to it, is lying! I know, someone is going to say, "he was found innocent by our justice system?" No, a guilty murderer was "made" innocent by our corrupted media system influencing people's greed, pride and ethical decisions.

We have the criminal being highlighted and exalted by the justice system, the media, and even fools who still believe he is innocent, under the guise of "fans of OJ"

We have the laboratories and past FBI officials still being highlighted in recent cases as "the ones involved" in the infamous OJ trial, and profiting from it.

Whether intentional or not, we have the father of the dead daughter making a fool (or being made one) of himself year after year which seems to translate into more self seeking of fame and glory. Ever notice, just when it seems our minds and primetime viewing are FINALLY rid of this creepy murderer and the entire case, all of sudden the man with the mustache that stretches to both sides of your TV manages to think we need to hear it all again? And of course, the media is all too willing to give him the pulpit and shove it down our throats once again as newsworthy? Why?

Perhaps a law, much like a Megan's law, that states, "it is illegal for anyone who was ever involved in the OJ case, (or any future case) to make a headline or be mentioned in ANY media story EVER!" When

    OJ has published a book on how he would murder his wife, and all I can say is "wow". It doesn't matter if he did it or not.
