O.J. Simpson’s Guilt-Driven Path To Crime
O.J. Simpson is now sitting in a Nevada jail awaiting his fate, as our infallible legal justice system once again determines his future in conjunction with charges stemming from his arrest for armed robbery.
The powers that be are currently trying to decide whether O.J. Simpson is a flight risk. Crazy as it may seem, there are some people who may have forgotten a famous afternoon in L.A. when the Juice was loose in a white Bronco.
There’s a nagging question to all of this “sports memorabilia, armed robbery nonsense” that keeps running through my mind. Did O.J. really think he could walk into a room, commit a crime and walk away? Did he think no one would recognize him? Was his first (and protracted) encounter with the law so much fun he wanted to see if he could get away with it again? You know how those crazy thrill-seekers are. Sure, cutting off a couple heads is a good time, but where’s the fun? You just have to keep out-doing yourself.
Or, it could be, Simpson is systematically (though bizarrely) trying to rid himself of his guilt for being a homicidal maniac. That might explain the book, If I Did It. Ostensibly, O.J. wrote that piece of garbage for money. But let’s face it, an innocent person wouldn’t admit to a crime for money, no matter how much. Not too mention the fact that he had to know the money would go to his victims’ families, as is stipulated by the civil trial he lost. A book admitting guilt, written in the hypothetical and no money — this could be O.J.’s first effort.
Perhaps he thought he could get tour the world telling his hypothetically tale of murder. Sort of like going to confession without any penance. But, as any sane person could have predicted, this backfired on him driving him to armed robbery. Again, it’s not like he wasn’t going to get caught, because let’s face it, O.J. is nothing if not easily recognized. So why commit a crime you will be caught and punished for? Because you WANT to get caught and punished. Maybe O.J. feels if he is punished and sent to jail, he may find some peace for his tormented mind.
O.J. Simpson may be forever branded a cold-hearted killer, but he once was a beloved and deeply revered public figure. As difficult as it is to believe, even O.J. must feel some remorse for his actions. Isn’t is possible that at age 60 (that’s practically a senior citizen) he sees he’s at his end of days and wants to repent in some way?
So with all this conjecture, my theory has emerged. A theory of a remorse-filled O.J., who has been driven to desperation out of deep-seated guilt, and a need to be caught and punished.
Nah, he’s probably just an enormous dumbass.
