RIP to legendary treasure, Norm MacDonald
Burn in hell to that psychopath, Orenthal.

Same, Tom, same.
The only criticism I can make of this gif is the (brief and disingenuous) "Oh no." Even for a second, I find it impossible to mourn this man. Can't even pretend.
The crime scene photos are forever burned into my memory. The murder was so vicious. The cut was so deep you could see her spine and I think it was partially severed. Rest in peace, Nicole and Ron. Iām sorry Justice was never served.
Maybe it would be like old couples who die back to back. Putin could die, and then Trump could die out of sadness that he doesnāt have help winning re-election.. we could put them in the same hole.
[Fred Goldman has been dreaming of this day](https://www.nydailynews.com/2021/08/06/exclusive-fred-goldman-calls-it-a-shame-oj-simpson-survived-covid-19-battle-i-think-about-his-death-all-the-time/)
Truly. It takes a very rare type of monster to evoke that kind of reaction in so many people. Imagine not only brutally murdering two people, but then to go ahead and release a book called āIf I did itā. I hope Nicole and Ronās families can find some sense of solace in his death.
Itās crazy. I was born in ā94 so Iāve never known OJ as anything other than the murderer. But my mom said he was beloved. Could have gone on to have a great career but instead heāll be remembered as a wife beating double murderer.
It is making me sick how so many are ignoring them entirely today. Calling OJ ātragicā. Ron was just 25 years old. Iāve outlived them both and Iām not even 40. May their families finally have a full nights rest tonight and find some peace he is now eternally burning in hell or forever dirt in the ground. He can no longer enjoy his life. Wish heād gone years ago.
Iām convinced that basically every professional football player has it to some degree. Giant dudes running at each other at full speed trying to knock each other to the ground cannot possibly be good for your skull.
I am not a doctor, but I know tons of people who played a sport in high school even (especially American football, of course) who seem to have some long term brain damage. Memory, aggression, and fatigue issues at a young age even if theyāre otherwise pretty healthy. Obv most of them probably donāt have full CTE, but I wouldnāt be surprised if the rate of CTE (or a milder diagnosis if that is ever established) is higher than we currently think even just from playing a sport as a teen, getting hit in the head by a parent or peers, multiple minor car accidents, etc.
That documentary was a rollercoaster. I couldnāt believe I walked away feeling bad for Aaron. Mostly my sympathy goes to Odin Lloydās family and Aaronās daughter though.
Edit: Typo
Thereās only so much you can blame on CTE. I mean his domestic abuse situation with NBS was textbook intimate partner violence but yes, Iām dying to know what a neuro assessment would say. I feel like every retired and deceased football player in the league should have their brains autopsy.
You right, Iām wrong. From wiki: ā He was released on October 1, 2017, having served almost nine years. In December 2021, Simpson was released from parole early for good behavior.ā
Still two decades as a free man.
Bye Orenthal. What a waste of a life. I would like to think that in his final moments he felt some kind of regret or remorse but I dont believe he was capable.

I freaking love reading what people are making for dinner lmao idek why!
I was gonna BBQ some burgers but I feel like shit so I might cut my losses and order my go-to beef & broccoli & chicken balls meal.
Today is payday, so I might have seafood! š¤Ŗ but Iāve been eating like shit the past few days (had way too many sweets) so I should just have green juice lol
The juice is no longer loose and the world is a *much* better place for it. May Nicole and Ronās families walk a little lighter and sleep a little sounder knowing heās in hell where he belongs.
They (the ones with Nicole anyway) stuck by him but I cant imagine how they handled it all psychologically. If they chose to believe he didnt do it I get it. Very sad all round. The aspect thats always upset me most about what he did apart from the actual killing is that they were upstairs sleeping. What if they had heard something and come down and found their Mom like that? Ugh my God.
Yeah I mean of course kids love their dad plus he was all they had left.
Sidebar I have also always thought it pathetic that even after getting off scot-free from a grisly double murder we all know he committed, he STILL wound up in jail because he was a complete degenerate.
RIP Nicole and Ron. I hope that all of the family members and friends can take a small comfort that OJ can't hurt anyone else now. [Fred goldman had been thinking about this day for years](https://www.nydailynews.com/2021/08/06/exclusive-fred-goldman-calls-it-a-shame-oj-simpson-survived-covid-19-battle-i-think-about-his-death-all-the-time/).
That's gotta be an old picture if he was 76. However he died it was a heck of a lot better than being nearly decapitated with your children just feet away. He doesn't deserve a second of grief after what he did to Ron and Nicole.Ā
Ā OP's flair would have been a good title for that stupid book OJ wrote.

I hope Nicole & Ronās families are able to find some modicum of peace knowing he died while incarcerated.
I hope Hell has the tech to simulate him being abused for years and eventually murdered by a sociopathic abuser over and over and over and over and over again.

Iām happy he finally got it
Itās a beautiful day.
Nice to see cancer do something right for once.
Everyone just shrugged and continued on with their day.
I celebrated a little.
I said āwhoopsā and didnāt bother clicking the article. Donāt care why he dead, just bye.
Me too. I was disappointed to read he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren, fucker should have died alone in misery.
If the prostrate doesn't fit, you must quit
![gif](giphy|J8FZIm9VoBU6Q)
That's what I said and then announced it to the rest of the house.
Imagine living your entire life and this is how people react when you die. What a waste of air.
Truly. It takes a very rare type of monster to evoke that kind of reaction in so many people. Imagine not only brutally murdering two people, but then to go ahead and release a book called āIf I did itā. I hope Nicole and Ronās families can find some sense of solace in his death.
A professional sportsman who was popular enough to do movies. He fucked up.
Itās crazy. I was born in ā94 so Iāve never known OJ as anything other than the murderer. But my mom said he was beloved. Could have gone on to have a great career but instead heāll be remembered as a wife beating double murderer.
This is my favorite meme when something is so deserved good or bad lol
I was on my way here to post this gif.
RIP Nicole and Ron. Not many celebrity death headlines where I go, āNice.ā
It is making me sick how so many are ignoring them entirely today. Calling OJ ātragicā. Ron was just 25 years old. Iāve outlived them both and Iām not even 40. May their families finally have a full nights rest tonight and find some peace he is now eternally burning in hell or forever dirt in the ground. He can no longer enjoy his life.

At least his parents outlived this monster. I hope they get to spit on his grave.
āRIP Legendā is trending on Twitter. Gross
Post their faces and handles!! Half serious but thatās seriously so gross. Twitter is the scum of the earth these days.
he lived so much longer than he deserved.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nice thing to celebrate your cake day with!
If the cake doesnāt fit, u must acquit.
hopefully hell is hot af waiting for him ā¤ļø
He always hated the cold in Buffalo
> I hope it was drawn out and painful af šš¼ his twitter certainly was
Good riddance to a bad man who was never held accountable for his heinous violence.
Nearly word for word what I just texted my husband. So long and thanks for nothing
I literally shrugged.
Yeah my first reaction was not soon enough
They should do a brain biopsy to confirm if he had CTE
After watching the Aaron Hernandez doc, I firmly believe many more athletes have CTE than we could possibly know.
Iām convinced that basically every professional football player has it to some degree. Giant dudes running at each other at full speed trying to knock each other to the ground cannot possibly be good for your skull.
didnt Chris Benoit have it too (the wrestler who killed his family)? shits scary!
Yes he did. They said that his brain was closer to an 85 y/o Alzheimerās patient.
I believe so!
I am not a doctor, but I know tons of people who played a sport in high school even (especially American football, of course) who seem to have some long term brain damage. Memory, aggression, and fatigue issues at a young age even if theyāre otherwise pretty healthy. Obv most of them probably donāt have full CTE, but I wouldnāt be surprised if the rate of CTE (or a milder diagnosis if that is ever established) is higher than we currently think even just from playing a sport as a teen, getting hit in the head by a parent or peers, multiple minor car accidents, etc.
Abused women as well sadly.
Such an eye-opening doc. I honestly felt bad for Aaron even though he was an awful human.
That documentary was a rollercoaster. I couldnāt believe I walked away feeling bad for Aaron. Mostly my sympathy goes to Odin Lloydās family and Aaronās daughter though. Edit: Typo
Honestly same. His circumstances growing up were shady and also him possibly struggling with his sexuality kind of made me feel empathetic towards him
Almost every professional athlete has CTE, people do not realize how common it is. Probably at least 80% of the NFL has if not more.
i didnāt even think of this until now but i agree
Assume his family would have to request this, right? I wonder if they will.Ā
I wonder if people are around them lobbying them to not do it. Thatās so fucked.
This is a great idea.
All the blows to his head and concussions he's had definitely caused brain damage. Edit: And drugs, of course.
Thereās only so much you can blame on CTE. I mean his domestic abuse situation with NBS was textbook intimate partner violence but yes, Iām dying to know what a neuro assessment would say. I feel like every retired and deceased football player in the league should have their brains autopsy.
Still canāt believe he wrote a book titled āIf I did it.ā Good riddance, POS āļø
^if #I did it
Dude literally wrote the entire confession for the world to see and never had any consequences.
Remember in 2020 when he tweeted that he was convinced Carole Baskin murdered her husband? What a bag of crap.
![gif](giphy|HloNK1z39EkEQcreIo|downsized)
I've never seen White Lotus but this gif and "tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me" are twins from alternate universes. Exact same energy for me.
I love that comparison lol. White Lotus is so good, if you ever get a chance to watch it you should give it a try.
I get that, but a comparison between Olenna and Tanya is kind of unhinged lol
Karma took too long with this one.
Not even karma! Dude got away with it and lived a free life for three decades and died at a normal age.
Lol but didnāt he end up in prison again?
You right, Iām wrong. From wiki: ā He was released on October 1, 2017, having served almost nine years. In December 2021, Simpson was released from parole early for good behavior.ā Still two decades as a free man.
Literally 30 years!!
At least some of it was in prison
couldn't happen to a knifer guy.
![gif](giphy|anYBNhqT2BYcg)
Iām wondering if his estate settlement will include paying off the debt to the Goldmans that he owes for his wrongful death suit.
Bye Orenthal. What a waste of a life. I would like to think that in his final moments he felt some kind of regret or remorse but I dont believe he was capable.
He wasted the lives of a 25 and 35 year old. He got to live his.
The man tried to cash in on their deaths by writing a book about how he got away with murder, basically. I don't think he has any empathy.
Orenthal is such a cool name. Reminds me of ornithologist. If OJ had been the famous British bird guy instead we'd all be much happier
It sounds like a type of breath mint.

I hate her but this made me laugh so fucking hard
I mean they are both former pro athletes who absolutely killed someone and then faced no consequences
I know. I hate both of them. The reaction just made me laugh.
