If The Glove Fits

This time we have to throw away the key.

Hopefully the Vegas coppers can do what we couldn’t. I hope Mark Furman was on another planet 48 hours before and after this incident.

Las Vegas police said they’ve arrested O.J. Simpson on charges related to an armed robbery of sports memorabilia.

The arrest came after another man was taken into custody in the alleged incident.

Police said Walter Alexander was arrested on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon. Two firearms were seized, police said.

Simpson has said he was among several people who went to a casino hotel room this week. He said he’d hoped to retrieve some items that belonged to him. He told police no guns were involved.

I’m as hopeful as anyone (who is sane) that OJ is guilty of this crime and spends the rest of his life in the slammer, but common sense and the reality of today’s justice system tells me that he’s going to be playing golf in about 96 hours.

UPDATE: My buddy Patterico has more. He points out that Greta Van Susteren will now have another story to obsess about for five or six years. Are you familiar with Susteren? She’s the blond gal on Fox News who only moves one side of her mouth when she talks, and covered the Lacy Peterson story to death (no pun intended). She’s just plain annoying. I’ve never seen anyone who can rant on and on and on about nothing for years on end (I’m not exaggerating about that.) I’m glad that Greg Gutfeld is on Fox, or I wouldn’t watch it at all.

I need a beer.

UPDATE: This quote from Simpson is great: “Simpson had told police in early questioning that he was only trying to recover sports memorabilia that belonged to him.” Good job, OJ. Just steal something when you need to get it back. Or you can try to nearly decapitate your ex-wife if she’s pissing you off. Either way, it’s quite apparent that your ability to make rationale decisions in life is top-notch.

I need another beer.
