Today in History

[HairOfTheDog]

I remember that, and was wondering why they didn't just shoot the tires out or something. It was almost like an episode of "Get Smart"

It was just weird. It actually feels like it was 20 years ago to me -- no more or less. Hadn't thought about that Bronco drive in quite awhile.

"Why are we watching this and why is it on every channel?" I remember having that discussion.

Then, we just thought, "okay, let's see where this goes". It went right back to the suspect's house and he was arrested without incident, despite millions of lookie-loos watching it all go down.

Then, it dominated the air waves and papers for a year (at least in L.A.). There was no escaping it.

It really changed the way crime stories and trials are covered -- and, it was my first introduction to DNA (though, a sloppy over-explicit one, imo).
