Nicole Simpson would be 64 years old if Simpson hadn't murdered her.

Fuck mourning OJ Simpson. He was a football player. Nicole was a young woman with children who tried to get away.

Here come the journalists weighing in about OJ Simpson's "complicated history" -- it's not complicated. He killed his wife because she wouldn't take his abuse.

I know that the majority of Tumblrites are not old enough to remember the way that O.J. Simpson’s murder of his ex-wife and her friend took over the entire national consciousness of the United States, dominating news programming, television programming in general with broadcasts of the events immediately after the crime and then the trial shown live, late night programming with the comedians having a field day and the Tonight Show even featuring a dance troupe meant to look like the judge in the case who’d come out and do performances. There was an expy of one of the lawyers who became a recurring character on Seinfeld. “If the glove don’t fit” jokes were everywhere. The attorneys got rich and famous and it’s responsible for the ascendance of the Kardashians as famous for no good reason. One man’s act of horrible IPV changed all of American culture. We are not the same as we were before that night in Brentwood.

I hope that the Brown and Goldman families feel some sense of relief today. Their pain and loss was buried under the avalanche of focus on the famous killer who took their loved ones’ lives. Their quest for justice through a civil trial after the ridiculous criminal acquittal was treated like a racist vendetta rather than an effort for accountability. Every moment since June 12, 1994 has marginalized them when they should’ve been the focus.
