I was 6 and definitely remember watching it live. I didnt really know what was happening other than a bronco was being chased by the police. My uncle drove a bronco so it stuck out to me at the time.

I watched it from inside a Subway eating a meatball sub. Me and my two friends were rooting for a shootout or an arial view of him blowing his brains out the passenger window.
Note: this was back when Subway was still halfway decent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:Simpson’s Bronco, however, had been found outside his home the night of the murders with traces of blood from both victims inside of it and seized as evidence. I did not pay much attention to that whole mess, and definitely didn't know this part. Whatever sliver of reasonable doubt there was surrounding the gloves etc, that should pretty much dispel it. |

I was caught up in one of the surface street traffic jams that were caused when the CHP and all the other SoCal police agencies shut off all the entrance ramps to the freeways he and Al were joyriding around on. Caused complete gridlock on all streets within a mile of each interchange. I managed to get where I was going, but the guy delivering a truck bumper for me said fuck it and turned around, I had to go back down to LA a week later to pick it up. Back then I had a job where days off during the week were not paid, so the extra day I had to take off from work the following week cost me financially. Fuck OJ, AL Cowlings and all those damed SoCal police agencies that were too afraid to lay down spike strips.

I was 20-ish and working with 4 or 5 black guys 20-30.
They were overall good guys who all got along well with the white guys. They had the news on in the lobby. All but one of my black coworkers turned into Mr Hyde during, and for a while after, OJ's chase went live. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, watched it live. Best part was the guy who prank called that pompous ass Peter Jennings. "I see OJ, man, and he looking scared. I be scared too, because there's cops all up in this. And Baba Booey to ya all." My wife turns to me and says "Did he just say Baba Booey??" Yes. Yes he did LOL. Great fucking job producer, you loser. But the "Sum Ting Wong" crank call was the GOAT I watched the tail end of the chase when I got home from work. Everyone knew he was guilty AF! Well except our AA bretheran. Another funny moment was the trial, when he tried everything he could, for the gloves not to fit. You could see he was scrunching up his fingers as he "Tried" to put them on, with a painful look on his face.

I have large hands and most of my gloves are already tight, they would be extremely tight if I tried to put them on over top of latex gloves.  USA - Simpson Tries On The Murder Gloves |

I had completely forgotten about this:
back before the F150 Lightning was an EV, it was a performance truck:  Attached FileFord had a plan to do a Bronco version in white, called the white Lightning. After the high profile OJ chase and connection to the murders Ford canceled those plans. You can read Car and Drivers write up about the White Lightning. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Saw it as a kid, while living in S. CA. 2nd grade. I remember everyone asking the teacher the next day if he was guilty or not. It was high school for me in So Cal watching it live. We also watched the verdict in class (I think it was live during history). Very interesting witnessing the reactions of the white and some hispanic kids (WTF?) versus the black kids (cheering). There was a lot of talk about rioting if it was a guilty verdict. 1992 riots still rung a bell woth Rodney King verdict. For many years I thought that was the reason why he got off. Then I watch the documentaries and realized the DAs were dumb and the jurors even dumber. |

Saw it live. Saw the subsequent riots live. Then I experienced an era of music and other culture influenced by those events. I liked the music but didn't identify with the rhetoric and even as a young teen I recognized there was an agenda of division brewing that I hadn't experienced as a youngster growing up in the 80s.
