O. J. Simpson's Revolver

[DWalt]

Those of you watching the current TV series "The People vs. O. J. Simpson" may have seen the episode last Tuesday covering the low-speed Ford Bronco chase, with O.J. holding a gun to his head. It looks like it could be a Model 28, certainly an N-frame, as it has the extractor rod shroud under the barrel. Does anyone know what the gun actually was in real life?

I don't know what the gun was but it obviously wasn't a Smith cuz it didn't put a hole in his head. I was "between jobs" at the time so I watched the Chase. A great opportunity was missed both for OJ and the rest of us.

I assumed it was a 29 because he would be the kind of bozo who would have to have the world's most powerful gun to stroke his ego.

Too bad he didn't have enough ego to use it.

A local guy was advertising a white Ford Bronco for sale a short while after the chase. The ad read, "Low miles, fully loaded, CC, PS, PB and of course AC."

Where and when is this series on?

It's a 10-part series on FX. Last night was episode 4 (The Dream Team), but they are still re-running the first three episodes so you can catch up. New episodes are on Tuesday evenings. The low-speed chase was episode 3.

I am totally at a loss to understand why anyone would want to watch this garbage.

Why is anyone watching this? Had enough of it when it really happened, who cares!
Anyway I'm watching Agent Carter, more entertaining and a real comic book story!

I have not seen it but everyone at work tells me it's great acting.

Agreed. I remember watching the slow chase live in the news. I remember the tons of hours of boring stuff about him and his trial after.

The so-called "trial" was a judicial three-ring circus with enough clowns to make Ringling Brothers want to sign 'em all to lifetime contracts. Just a huge black mark on the American judicial system.

Karma did finally have its way with Simpson in the end, though not to the extent he deserves.

He is finally where he is supposed to be, though, and maybe that counts for something.

 

[Cooter Brown]

Should I feel badly that when I saw the footage of OJ holding the gun to head I thought of a scene from "Blazing Saddles"?

 

[walkin jack]

I think OJ is better suited to his name in the movie. NORDBURG or something like that.

Especially the gloves thing. Did you notice how he had his fingers spread as far as possible to make it look like they couldn't fit? I did. Clearly he could have used thedm even if aside too small.

Agreed, he is where he needs to be-even if not for those two murders he did.

Thast was Clevon Sp? Little. This guy was a great comedic actor, simpson was a tool.
