OJ Gets Squeezed

You learn from a certain age the hoary old bromide “What Goes Around Comes Around” is not always true.  Bad Things happen to Good People while the Bad People skate away, untouched.  However, once in a while, the Scales of Galactic Justice tip toward the Good People and there is much cheering in the village.

Specifically, Orenthal James Simpson has been found guilty of charges of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint, in Las Vegas.  Twelve charges were offered up by the prosecution and OJ was found guilty of all twelve, which included kidnapping and robbery as well as ten other lesser charges, like being a dick, being a dick with a gun, using aerosol cheese with felonious intent and illegal use of a comb-over.

The most comforting part of the guilty verdict is the highly likely possibility than OJ Simpson will go to jail for a very long time.  It’s taken almost exactly thirteen years to the day since he was acquitted of killing Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman for the big wheel to come around.

Needless to say OJ has insisted he had nothing to do with the robbery in Las Vegas, or the gun, or the kidnapping.  People like that never, ever, admit to anything.  Perhaps his jail buddies will believe him. 

The rest of us, watching the Scales of Galactic Justice whack OJ one upside the head, can enjoy his demise.  It’s wrong to take pleasure in the misfortune of others, but in this particular case, I think the Scales won’t mind.
