UPDATED: O.J. Simpson Is Up For Parole And Looking Forward To Playing Golf Again Soon


The original “OJ the Juiceman” is up for parole for killing his ex wife back in the 90’s a Vegas memorabilia heist that he allegedly orchestrated and is “optimistic” that he will be released from prison and back to playing golf in no time.

According to USA Today:

“He says, ‘Tell them we’ll be playing golf again soon,’ ” Tom Scotto said of O.J. Sunday in a phone interview.

If paroled, Simpson, 70, is eligible for release Oct. 1.

Simpson sounded “excited’’ when he and Scotto spoke by phone last week, according to Scotto, who added that he will be in the hearing room with the former football star Thursday at Lovelock Correctional Center, where Simpson has been imprisoned for almost nine years.

In 2008, Simpson was sentenced to a minimum of nine years and a maximum of 33 years in prison for his role in the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia agents at a Las Vegas hotel, and Scotto indicated Simpson is ready to reclaim his life outside of prison.

“He just says, ‘We’ll be together again, my life will go back to normal, ’ ” Scotto said. “He’s very positive. He’s always been positive.”

In life positivity is key, however, I am not so sure if being positive will be enough to release O.J. from the unforgiving grips of the people’s law. However, stranger things have happened.

Prosecutors have had it out for this guy ever since he was surprisingly acquitted of the murder of his former wife Nicole Brown and her boyfriend Ron Goldman back in 94′. Many believe his current prison sentence is nothing short of inescapable karma for those past transgressions. Nonetheless, miracles do happen everyday so we will just have to wait and see what fate holds for the former pro athlete turned convict.

****UPDATED****

OJ Simpson was granted parole and will be released to a parole officer on October 1, 2017. He will reside in Florida.

Walmart Apologizes For N-Word Slur In Product Listing On Its Website

Walmart

Via KTLA– Walmart has apologized for an offensive slur used by a third-party seller in a product listing on its website.

The product description listed the hair cap color as “nigger brown.”

Walmart issued a statement Monday saying it too is upset by the use of the word on its site. Walmart declined to identify the vendor that was selling it.

Danit Marquardt, director of corporate communications for Walmart issued the following statement:

“We are very sorry and appalled that this third party seller listed their item with this description on our online marketplace. It is a clear violation of our policy, and has been removed, and we are investigating the seller to determine how this could have happened.”

He said the third party seller has been completely removed from Walmart’s site as it investigates further.

Walmart initially removed the offensive word from the title of the product, but it remained in the item’s details, where the color is listed.

By Monday morning the term had also been removed from the details portion of the listing, and the item itself was no longer available. Only the black version of the cap appeared to be listed.

I find it mind boggling that Walmart is still selling any color of this particular product on their website.

You would think that the retail giant would immediately distance itself from any company advertising products and/or using this kind of “offensive” language to its consumers. Clearly the almighty dollar reigns supreme!

Shame on you Walmart! #BlackLivesMatter


UPDATED:

Walmart has since responded to my tweet and offered a more personal apology and says that they have completely removed the seller from their website.

The big box retailer pledges to implement a more effective filtering system in attempts to identify offensive language before it is shared in the marketplace. I accepted and appreciated their apology.
