It sounds like OJ is at the same time
a fairly decent kid, a kid in need of
some guidance, a kid in need of listening
to some guidance, a kid hanging out at
least a little in "gangsta rap" type culture.
All these things at once. When the "fifteen
minutes of fame" comes so early, it is often
the case that the spotlight is too bright for
the decision making abilities of youth. I
wonder if superstar athletes sort of internalize
that there are two sets of rules, then a police
officer is often the one who disabuses them of
that notion.
