Flashback: O. J. Simpson Verdict Reactions, No Justice, No Rioting - truthrevolt.org
Excerpt from this article:
"Back in 1995, some 150 million people tuned in to watch the verdict of
the racially-charged O.J. Simpson trial. Simpson was on trial for
murdering his white ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and a young white
waiter, Ronald Goldman. After the mostly black jury returned a not
guilty verdict, reactions varied along the racial divide. Most blacks celebrated Simpson's verdict as justice for their
community, while whites felt that a guilty man was set free. However, no
rioting ever occurred.
Shortly after what became known nearly 20 years ago as 'the trial of the century,' The Seattle Times columnist Mike Royko penned a sarcasm-laced article
in which he "expressed relief that no one rioted. 'I had feared
thousands of furious blonde, blue-eyed women and their brunette
sympathizers would take their rage into the streets, burning, killing
and looting,' he wrote. (Something that obviously didn't happen.)"
