OJ Simpson Early Release: The Best Memes
After O.J. Simpson was granted early release by a Nevada parole board Thursday, the internet did what it does best.
Immediately after the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners granted O.J. Simpson an early release from prison on Thursday, the internet swung into action and did what it does best, as the Twittersphere lit up with memes ranging from the lighthearted and clever to the racially charged.
Simpson, now 70, was convicted of kidnapping and robbery in Las Vegas and was sentenced to between nine and 33 years in prison. The hearing marked the first time he was up for release. He appeared as inmate No. 1027820. (For more local news, click here to sign up for real-time news alerts from the Las Vegas Patch. If you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app.)
