It’s still in living memory and as a number of us have acknowledged, is relevant on domestic abuse and race. Lessons

Domestic abuse was the cause of rioting in London 10th April ?
Or race ?

We just couldn’t believe the coverage the BBC gave to this story. Surely there were far more relevant items than the death of a somewhat dubious character in the USA. Really not interested. I do remember the case and the live car chase.

I have found the BBC to be right wing leaning. But they’re probably heading the other way now because it’s so unlikely the Tories will win the GE.

BBC ignored the riot in London on Wednesday night

Good riddance! A murderer, con man, felon.

Anyone showing sympathy should save it for his victims. He was a great example of 'Celebrity justice', he was approx the USA equivalent of David Beckham, and the jury was in awe of one of the greatest NFL players ever, AND a much-loved film star.

H was able to get a platoon of high-profile lawyers, had he been plain Joe Snooks living on benefits he'd have been convicted and died in jail.
