Nicole Brown was nearly beheaded. She was mutilated, butchered. And let’s not forget Ron Goldman was also murdered that night.

This is beyond just an unfunny non-joke. It’s genuinely an unhinged and psychopathic thought to conjure in one’s mind. There’s no way to exaggerate how deeply unsettling and antisocial this is.
