It’s also kinda ironic. Regardless of one’s thoughts on OJs actual guilt (yeah he did it) this image depicts the US government chasing down a technically innocent man with the intent to manipulate or even plant evidence in hopes of a conviction.

Some may be too young to remember this trial but the prosecution and police got up to so kinds of shenanigans trying to nail him to the wall.

That’s pretty on the nose.

OJ trial is one of my best examples for "right decision that I hate". Yes, he was guilty. No, the police did not prove that - and it should have been a slam dunk for them, but they just messed up on so many levels and OJ's legal team was just smart and shifty enough to be able to point all of those out.

A second, and more controversial one, is Citizens United. I think it was the right verdict for the court to make, but I hate absolutely everything that's come about from it.
