How in the world could O.J. be so stupid?

First of all, I'm not posting this thread to see whether everyone here thinks O.J. is innocent or guilty (although you are all welcome to say so). What I'm trying to figure is what has to say about why he would put himself in such a position knowing what happened 12 years ago. Yes, he was found not guilty of those murders and he does not have a criminal record, but a majority of White Americans believes he still did it. Anyway, if, as he claims, he was going to reclaim memorabilia that had been stolen from him, why didn't he bring a police officer with him? Seems to me that his accomplice, claiming a setup, was right, and O.J. fell for it hook, line, and sinker and he ended up being caught on camera. I understand that all of us have had a few lapses in judgment in our lifetimes, but this one by O.J., particularly in light of what happened 12 years ago, is just plain dumb. Also, it seems to me that some of the charges against him, which include kidnapping (who in the world did he try to kidnap? ), seem trumped up, as if the Las Vegas police are trying to succeed where the California police failed. Your thoughts?

you're jumping ahead of yourself, son. 1st off, oj simpson could have brought an attorney and a police officer and a judge with him, and he couldn't have "reclaimed" shit. why not? because he would have had to prove that the memorabilia was in fact his.

you mean "on tape", right? and i would be inclined to agree with you, seeing as how most people don't audio record conversations in bars and hotel rooms on the regular.

in light of what happened 12 years ago, is just plain dumb.

oj simpson isn't the brightest of individuals to begin with. take a look at the hand written notes he sent to his deceased ex-wife and you'll see that he probably didn't have more than a 5th or 6th grade education.

that's only because you have a faulty understanding of the law. kidnapping scenarios aren't just the ones you see on TV when there's a hostage being held for ransom.

also, don't try to put any of this on LVPD or any other PD. they are just doing there jobs. guilty or not guilty, oj simpson is the only one to blame. just like the old saying goes: "don't start shit, won't be shit".

Whether he would have been able to prove that the memorabilia was his or not, if he would have brought a police officer with him, he would not have gotten himself taped, and thus, arrested. Only an idiot, particularly one who escaped being convicted of murder by the skin of his teeth 12 years ago, would put himself in a position like that.
