Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He was literally acquitted of murder. I'm not saying he's famous - he's really an obscure nobody - but his biggest claim to fame not only is legally not murder, claiming it is murder in a way people might take seriously, like a newspaper article, would open you up to liability for slander, since you'd be making claims it would be easy to prove in court you knew to be false when you made them.
He's a killer, yes. He killed people. That's considered potentially distinct from murder in checks notes every country on Earth.
OJ is a murderer and so is Rittenhouse and Zimmerman. If they want to sue me, they can go ahead.
Go ahead and sue me. He is a murderer. Just because the state messed up the case doesn't make him less than a murderer.
If you kill someone and the police never catch you are you a murderer? If they catch you but don't have enough evidence to go forward are you a murderer? If they mess up the chain of custody of evidence are you a murderer?
Who you are as a person is not altered by what some civil servants say about you. If the entire planet earth said I was a giant purple one eyed monster that wouldn't make it so.
He wasn't convicted of murder doesn't make him not a murderer. No go ahead and sue me for whatever bullshit you want.
Nothing you said makes sense.
Why on Earth would I do that?
And you declaring him a murderer doesn't make him one any more than the state'a failure makes him not one - neither of which is relevant, since we're discussing what he's famous for, not making value judgments.
In every country on Earth, including whichever one you live in, it is possible to kill someone without it being murder. This is true in every culture and every religion.
Now we're out past the deep end of irrelevancy. At least when you were focused on actions people did or did not take, you were within the same ballpark as the topic. Who people are as persons has absolutely no relevancy. You might as well as brought up different ways to make pasta.
You sound deeply unhinged. You might want to take a deep breath and figure out what you're even talking about.
I get to sue you now. No court on earth has established that. And any value judgement, by your own admission, must be backed up by a court.
Pity you don't know the difference between accidentally killing someone and showing up with a gun to an already crazy situation.
