One of those who came to see him was Karen Valentina of Fort Worth, Texas, who hoped to have a picture taken.

"He was an amazing player," she said. "That's awesome."

He could cut and slice thru a crowd like no one before or since.

Officer Nordberg, hot on the trail of his ex-wife's murderer, stops for memorabilia money and scratch the patch in LAX.

I pray that someday he walks in to a resturant while I'm eating . I'd either demand he be thrown out or I'd make one hell of a scene. Why dosent someone talk every dime he ows from him at this autograph session.He never payed off his civil obligation.Why does he get a pass ?

I don't like a double murderer being lionized. I find it an affront to the dead as well as to society's sense of justice.

Does he get harassed by the public at all.If I saw him signing autographs they'd have to get the cop to stop me from shouting every obsenity I know at him

The only comfort we and the victims families can take out of this is that he may still be able to run for now but in the end, he will have to answer his maker someday for his actions.

"How the hell does he get away with what he does?'

Black Jury and White Victims?
Fear of another black riot and looting fest in LA?
Typical liberal Democrat jury?
Star struck and publicity addicted Judge?
Inept, incompetent and emotionally "distracted" civil servants prosecuting?

Answer: ALL of the above, and more..

Plus, the public is impressed with the fine job he is doing, looking for his wife's REAL murderer......

Semper Fi

I'd spit in his face if i nmet him.
O though he owes BIG money to the victims families? I though they have the right to take what he earns to pay off a court ordered debt?

For once, I found Steve Lopez's column pretty humorous on this:

Los Angeles Times, September 30, 2005

Drop everything, folks. Call in sick, cancel the kids' soccer games, load them into the Bronco and head for Northridge.

O.J. Simpson is back in town.

The former USC and pro football superstar is scheduled to take a well-deserved break from his exhaustive search for the killer of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman to sign autographs ($90) and pose for pictures ($20) at a Halloween-themed comic book and collectible convention.

Hard to believe?

Come on. It's L.A.

"If the Earth doesn't open up, and the fires don't come all the way down to Northridge, he's going to be there," said Tom Riccio, a promoter who has been advertising Simpson's visit. After reading that Simpson had been kicked out of a sports memorabilia show near Chicago this summer, Riccio called a colleague who knows the ex-football player. The colleague assured Riccio that Simpson, who lives in Florida, "was all for getting back into L.A. and seeing his fans."

Assuming he shows up, Simpson couldn't pick a more dramatic moment. Monday marks the 10-year anniversary of his acquittal on murder charges, and on Sunday, he'll be appearing with a special guest.

No, not Charles Manson.

No, not Kato Kaelin.

Simpson will team up with none other than his old pal Al Cowlings.

Cowlings, of course, was the driver of the infamous white Ford Bronco and co-star of a live...

(snip)

But don't let wrongful death keep you from collecting a souvenir from the most elusive and slashing runner in history.

For $125, you can get O.J. to sign a USC helmet. For a mere $80, an autographed copy of the Simpson book "I Want to Tell You" will make a great holiday gift for a loved one. I once saw a remaindered copy in which someone had changed "Tell" to "Kill," but it's not clear whether O.J. would sign such a book.

"It's only for sports-related items," Riccio said. "He won't sign pictures of him in the courtroom, or him running around in the Bronco, or him holding up a glove."

It gets worse. Riccio told me O.J. won't sign a knife, either.

When you're on the trail of your ex-wife's killer, you don't want to come off like some kind of carnival act.

I recall sitting in a restaurant, TV on, when the verdict was announced. Total silence. Everyone looked at his neighbor in total disbelief. A real kick in the gut. I got the same feeling when I read the Kelo decision.

What the hell do you do, go out and riot?
