OP thinking that Lemmy is popular enough with the boomers that someone is going to answer this.
Was anyone on Lemmy, except me, alive at the time of the trial?
I’m in my 40s. Yeah, I was.
Hello I was alive. They made a joke out of that judge with the Dancing Itos, and made the whole thing into a circus. The victims got entirely swallowed up. Nicole Brown Simpson had called the cops for his actions nine times.
yep. I never really paid attention to the show drama/trial. it was clear from the outset that he was guilty.
You’re 17 days old, how could you have been alive in 1995?
I was a young adult at the time (born in 66 so GenX for whatever it's worth). My take is the LAPD as a whole were despised and not just along racial lines. Watch any documentary on the early SoCal punk scene and you'll see what I mean
Yes. I knew that fucker was guilty the moment I heard of the murders.
I'm even old enough to see him play in the NFL. Although I have zero memories of that time as a child. Even though the Patriots and Buffalo would've played together.
Old man time over here...
I was, but I was very young and on the other side of the planet. All I remember is allegations that he was on sedatives during thebtrial, as he seemed so calm and composed about it all.
I was in grad school at the time, and I'm an Xer.
Maybe it's just the communities I frequent, but I've found the average age of lemmy/kbin to be quite a bit higher than reddit the last 5 or so years
