I just realized that anyone who happens to be drinking orange juice with breakfast when they hear this will probably remember today every time Simpson is brought up in the future.
"I was drinking O.J. when O.J. died!", etc.

I don't have much to say for Simpson himself, though.

My family and I were on a Disneyland vacation on the L.A. freeway, when we saw his bronco speed by and the cops chase him. I got to see it live, in-person. But we didn't know what was going on until we got back to our hotel room and turned on the news.

He was a real piece of shit. Murdered two people, put countless people's live at stake with his high speed chase, got off, then got off "easy" for armed robbery. He should have spent a few years in jail for the high speed chase alone.

He murdered two people and got away with it. He even wrote a book admitting to how he would kill them. A real piece of shit right there.
That's not true. They messed with the book's title as "revenge" to him. It was originally called "If I did it" or something like that.

Well, nothing to fear from the dead, but it's just the decency of not attacking someone who can't defend himself anymore. It's like when you're talking to someone, and he goes shit talking about a third person behind his back. Would you respect the shit talker? I know I wouldn't. Luckily, I don't know many people like that. And when I'm confronted with one, I tend to just walk away.

Saying that he "rode comfortably into old age" when he's been in jail most of it and died of cancer is just needlessly savage. He died alone and in suffering, after a lifetime in misery, I think it's punishment enough?

I think it's fair. His choices got him where he ended up, and the cancer was just icing on the cake.

That's a matter of opinion. and sometimes you don't have clear choices, can you say for yourself that everything that happened in your life was your only choice and not a choice of someone else deciding for you? Its not that simple. You are being ignorant just like people who believe he was 100 percent guilty in the first place and believed the media etc.
