Re: OJ Simpson has passed away

Cancer Sucks.

I remeber the day the verdict was announced. There was a very racial component to the reactions, and I still feel to this day that the LA riots of 93 did have a lot to do with the outcome.

I have seen this news pop up on several aviation news sources already. Should be interesting if this is actually going to be realised It won't.
