    OJ Simpson passed away a few weeks ago on April 10th, and instead of a celebration of his memory I wanted to remind everyone of the laundry list of red flags he displayed prior to "the event" that will forever stain his life and legacy. Since the Internet knows me as the Red Flag Guy, it seems fitting to revisit The Juice's loose morals.
    Long before the tragic passing of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and the Trial of the Century, there was a whole other story of OJ Simpson that, in today's society, would be much more alarming than it was back then.
    This was a man who inadvertently awakened an entire country to red flags in relationships and forced the United States to take a much harder look at alarming domestic issues of this nature. His actions immediately put the government into action to create laws that would protect both men and women from domestic ab*se much more efficiently than it ever had. People were also suddenly speaking up much more frequently when they saw a loved one or even a stranger that was in a similar situation.
    Today we walk through some of the completely insane events that led to those changes. We dive into his his troubling childhood, how baseball legend Willie Mays inspired OJ Simpson's incredibly fake cheerful persona that would inevitably charm his victims, his troubling first marriage with Marguerite Whitley, how the tragic death of his daughter Aaren in the 70s played a part in his increasingly violent behavior that we saw in the 80s and 90s, we'll look into whether or not OJ had a traumatic brain injury from playing in the NFL, and we'll lay out all of his red flags prior to "the crime" and the trial that so many people around him chose to ignore.
    RIP only to Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

    As a black woman and I was born in 1985 so thank you for bringing to light how long this tragedy has lasted and she got no justice. I had a strong suspicion that he did kill her and what sold me is when he wrote a book about how he would have done it if he did it.

    I know everyone likes to focus on the insanity that was the trial, but this part of the story is always so forgotten. Nicole lived terrified for years of this man and she got no justice for what happened to her.
    She never got to see her children grow up and never broke free from this man's abuse which is a true tragedy in all of this.
    The fact he murdered her when their children were sleeping upstairs is so understated, truly evil.
    And poor Ron as well, treated as a footnote in his own murder. All he did was to do a favor for a friend and ended up getting murdered for it.
    Thank you for bringing attention to this part of the story which most people sadly glosses over

      I believe it depends on the state but where I live, if a person commits a violent crime, the state prosecutes them not the victim. I think that's what makes a big difference. If the court case is state v. Abuser or victim v. Abuser. The victim doesn't have to do anything at all, but it helps if they give a statement for evidence. If it's on camera or has witnesses then the state won't need the victim to provide any evidence at all.

      ​@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vs the victim doesn't need to testify if there's enough physical evidence to determine that abuse happened. My ex was charged based on injuries to me vs. him. The police know what defensive injuries look like and can typically determine who was the aggressor by what the injuries look like. For instance, I had red marks around my neck/a bite on my finger and he had scratches on his chest/neck. The police could already tell that his injuries were consistent with me defending myself. A vast majority of DV survivors don't want to testify against their abuser because of safety or because they are so deep in the relationship.

      The fact that she went to a bar with him just days before he murdered her -- even though they were already separated -- speaks to the level of fear she had towards him, his level of aggression, and just how bad the stalking was. I think she felt that going somewhere with him would at least just temporarily get him to stop, not just for the sake of her but especially her children.

      I suspect he was a psychopath. They feel zero remorse or empathy, and the rest of the world revolves around them for their own amusement or pleasure. The earlier part where Juicy-boy did not think it was a real weekend unless he beat up some other dude, is extremely telling. Clearly, he 'felt nothing', unless beating up someone else. That was his party I guess. The psychopaths mimic regular emotions, they cannot understand them, hence, either bad acting jobs come out, or inappropriate laughter. They also think they are superior to everyone else. So laughing 'at a silly question' (in their view), is just being more dismissive than anything else.

    I took a forensics crime class, basically how people investigate murders and all, and this case was used as an example of what not to do. The short of it was that too many reporters were let on the property and the cops weren’t taking it as seriously as needed.
    For those crimes, nothing can be touched or moved before pictures are taken of evidence. But all the reporters and cops were wandering around, smearing the blood and their hands and fingerprints everywhere. It was just enough to fuck up all the physical evidence from the scene that it was impossible to tell OJ’s prints and dna from everyone else’s.
    That’s called tampering with a crime scene kids

  • @gallagherwitt

    One really wild thing about the case is how it reshaped crime scene investigations and evidence handling. A HUGE amount of the defense was just poking holes in chain of custody, saying "well, how do you KNOW that blood wasn't smeared in the car by your tech who was in the house?" A lot of the very strict guidelines CSIs and forensic techs abide by now came about as a result of that case. People can't move from one crime scene to another (e.g., from the house to the vehicle) without stripping off all their protective gear and putting on a new set. Chain of custody is much more strictly tracked.
    If it happened today, the investigators would've had much more rigid procedures to prevent compromising evidence or contaminating a crime scene, and the defense would've had a MUCH steeper uphill climb to defend him.

    Untreated mental health is so dangerous.
    My mom is a narcissist and she now has psychosis. I'm disabled and she came up with this delusion that I made up my disabilities to be lazy and take advantage of her, even though she's never actually done anything to help me or made me feel like I can depend on her or trust her.
    My mom also refused to have my ADHD treated when I was a child and I wasn't diagnosed with Autism until I was 19. Now I suffer from several mental disorders, including OCD, mild hoarding disorder, alienation, paranoia, and hallucinations. Based on the mental evaluation I took when I was 19, I was on my way to developing Schizophrenia. It does run in my family but it's rare in my family.
    With me, my untreated mental health lead to self destruction because my mother was abusive. But clearly because of my mother's untreated mental health and OJ's untreated mental health, it lead to them hurting others.
    Oh, and the state of your mental health is never an excuse to hurt others. I often say my sin is Wrath because Wrath used to be something I struggled with but I gained control over it on my own. While mental health conditions can cause one to not know the difference between right and wrong, it doesn't mean we can't learn. There are too many resources now that are easily available to prevent insanity from causing crime.
    It's people like OJ and my mom who refuse to accept help that end up harming others and they should be held responsible for their crime and for refusing the help to prevent it.

    Yes please, CTE isn't an excuse for OJ. He clearly had a history of being violent and believing he was somehow within his rights to use violence to get what he wanted. The CTE exacerbated it all, but it didn't transform his personality. I'm sure there are cases where the level of TBIs makes a person's perception of reality deteriorate to where otherwise peaceful individuals feel the need to hurt those closest to them, but OJ wasn't one of them. And I will fight anyone on that, I got my Master's in Clinical Psychology last year. I *toiled* for the ability to fight you on this, even.

      Domestic dispute doesn't mean murder a few years after a divorce when. Oj had already been in a new relationship, and it was Nicole who had written OJ a letter (look it up, it was at the trial) wanting to get back together.
      And domestic violence from a few years before doesn't give you the idea to not only murder someone, but give them a Colombian necktie the same way that just happened to also be done to Ron's boss.

    Also, guitar player from Ratt, ex gf was Tanya Kitean. He was still friends with her and she started dating OJ. OJ got so jealous of the guy from Ratt OJ left a death threat on his answering machine.

    Amazing video you tell an amazing story. The saddest thing is all of these red flags how many times she called the police everyone around them knew. All these years later it's not any better. You see so many cases of domestic violence ending in one of them being deceased. Our judicial system completely fails people who are being abused and yes it can happen to men. Who knows how it would have ended if she had been protected. But on the subject of CTE it's not just football they're discovering a lot of it in soccer and wrestling WWE. The Chris Benoist (sp?) story he took his whole family out and then himself he had severe CTE. And the players are supposed to be more protected now because of technology in the helmets. But we're still seeing cases of CTE so nothing has been fixed. I have a very athletic son probably could play any sport has played every sport. But I can't tell you the relief I felt when he chose volleyball over football and basketball. (Although volleybal...l kind of violent) . I would probably be about 100% sure that OJ had it. You see the mental decline even in the videos he slips from just being angry but successful and seeming to live a normal life and he becomes more and more aggressive which he already had a propensity for violence. The laughing when people would interview him about Nicole I mean it makes him psychotic. But CTE could be to blame for most of his behavior not that I'll ever excuse what he did nor do I think that the families ever got the justice they should have. But CTE is something that really needs to be talked about more.

    • @davinasquirrel7672
      @davinasquirrel7672 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      "and yes it can happen to men"
      Of course it can. But it is the rarest of the rare category for adult/teen male homicides. Something around the 5-10% mark, and most of those are other male family members or male partners. Contrast that with an average of about 55% of women being killed by current or former male partners, with the least number being killed by strangers. It is opposite land. If I were to guess what percentage of males were killed by violent or scheming female partners, it would be around the 1-2% mark, and that would include women with mental health issues like in the Phil Hartman case. The next dangerous category for women is other family members, and friends/associates. Men killed by strangers is still significant, 20-30%, and yes, other men. Whichever way you cut the stats, men still end up being most of the perpetrators in male or female homicides. I have analysed about 20+ years of data in several countries to come up with these rough figures. The scariest thing, was how closely aligned the percentages were in different countries.
