O.J And Sammy The Bull

O.J. passed away and we got another glimpse of the whole Brouhaha all over again, complete with replays of the slow car chase that seemed to take forever and was the single most watched event in the history of T.V..  Every channel decided to put it on the air, so if your T.V. was on, it was the only thing you could see.  You may have wondered why none of the many black and white L.A. patrol cars trailing behind the infamous white Bronco, didn't just pull him over?  Well they were all on T.V.  Why spoil a good thing?

And news of his death brought about much gnashing of teeth once again, as people recalled the year long trial with the parade of witnesses and the not guilty verdict.  

All of which brings us to Sammy The Bull Gravano.  O.J. if he did it, yes we're co-opting the title of the book that he was going to write in an attempt to cash in on the whole Brouhaha, so if we get any money out of this article above our expenses, will share it with his kids.  No wait, guess we'd have to share it with the Brown/Goldman crew, who managed to win a civil case for wrongful death against him but not collect too much money.  But if O.J. did it, he would have killed 2 people.  Sammy The Bull Gravano killed 19 people.  There never seems to ever, be, too much gnashing of teeth over that and no wrongful death suits brought against him either.  Guess the families of his victims knew it wasn't such a hot idea to try and get any money out of him.  And, one of those families was his own, as one of the guys he whacked, was his brother-in-law.  And, while O.J. has been the subject of much scorn and ignominy, Sammy The Bull, has his own Podcast.  It's called "Our Thing".  Sammy is cashing in.  And while O.J. was looking at Life in Prison if convicted, Sammy got a complete walk.

While the O.J. trial dragged on for a year, Sammy didn't even go to trial.  While O.J. and a lot of his supporters claimed he was innocent, Sammy said no such thing and was never, even, tried.  He admitted it all in a plea deal because the Feds wanted his Boss John Gotti so bad, they let him walk.

So you maybe wondering what is the difference?  Okay, okay 17.  That's for all you wise guys out there.  But we think it's the dead, blond model, Nicole Brown Simpson, pictured above.  And, if you want make someone dead in America, well take your shot, just don't make the blond model, dead.

We're pretty sure if  O.J.'s first wife had been found stabbed to death, a middle aged black woman at the time, the media, the L.A. Police and the L.A. Prosecutors would not have given two bleeps.  Even if O.J. did it.  Oops there we used his title again.  We'll definitely send something, if we get something.  And the Brown/Goldman crew might get more out of us, than they did out of O.J..  But if O.J.'s first wife had been murdered, there might not have been an arrest or even a trial but if there had been, complete with a guilty verdict, you wouldn't have heard, nor seen, much of it.
