Doesn't he remember anything from his Police Academy days?

Poo.

No thanks;

I just gave myself a minus for this one.

re: #3 meMarc

Just poop&tead;

If OJ said "don't tase me, bro," I might be interested. Otherwise...

I just want to know, if he goes to trial again will they make him try on the suit?

I will not discuss OJ.
How's the weather?

30 years in jail hopefully.

Guy's a creep. Would you want to be in a room with a jury of HIS peers?

Who's OJ Simpson?

re: #5 Charles

You're tanking in the ratings.

When he gets to the general population in jail, OJ needs to be some big dude's bitch. Blowback, heh.

Nooo!

I changed my mind about the topic/thread rating system. It does come in handy. I gave this one a minus.

I know, but watch how many people really do want to talk about it.

The gym is killing me with CNN or Headline News - Larry King is always on during lunch and today I had to listen to Kathy Griffin's opinion of the OJ case. Can't tell you what it was, though, or exactly what happened. Hard to believe that's all a major network can come up with - interviewing a second-rate celebrity about the travails of other second-rate celebrities.

BTW, glad to finally post. I signed up 2 weeks ago and just got swamped afterward and had no chance to chime in.

Don't think anyone would mind if the thread disappeared.

I was in Barbados when the not guilty verdict came down. Two hundred black native Bajans that worked in our office building leapt to their feet and cheered. I've never been the same since. I can't explain it, but somehow a gulf opened up that day.

Somehow I always figured he'd get away with it until he met his maker.

re: #22 Charles

9/11 did it to me, but I live in Southern California. We don't usually see much reality around here.

I was up on a ladder painting a house when the verdict came in. I figured he'd get away with it, but it still didn't make me feel any better when it happened. He's a very sick man.

Will OJ convert to Islam when he goes to prison?

re: #22 Charles

But, there is a difference in idle chit-chat and the 24/7 obsession of the msm and Fox. Now that is embarassing to watch. Shep is the worst of the worst. He loves this stuff - OMG, even Hannity is all wrapped up in it. I do hope Fuhrman is vindicated with all of this. Always did think he was unfairly sacrificed on the alter of racism.

Okay, I know this is a lame thread, but I actually do have a comment.

I read that OJ was being held without bail. Is that true? If so, I think it's absurd for our Boone Creek terrorist buddies to have been given bail (something low like $200,000) and Hsu got bail (something high but obviously doable considering).

Anyone think OJ's going to get anywhere near an airport/train station/highway without the media surrounding him and broadcasting his wearabouts?

Could they please take the same interest in our terrorist friends or in the criminal facilitator of Hillary Clinton et al?

memorabilia rhymes with pedophilia.

OJ? I prefer grapefruit juice.

OK, countdown to OJ's conversion to Islam while in detention.

5...4...3...

etc.

Charles,

Why don't the police look for the real killers?

OJ was found not guilty..

/

Britney Spears. Now that girl has problems. I wonder what the root causes are?

Do you remember the images of black folks cheering when he was found not guilty? They were celebrating because they knew a black guy had gotten away with slaughtering two white people like animals.

If there is more than a couple of black folks on the jury for this trial, he'll be ruled not guilty, or, at best, have a mistrial.

re: #56 Kreuzueber Halbmond

I wouldn't be surprised. Gets out and hooks up with the nation of islam.

Peruvians get sick from apparent meteorite crater

LIMA (Reuters) - Dozens of people living in a Peruvian town near Lake Titicaca reported vomiting and headaches after they went to look at a crater apparently left by a meteorite that crashed down over the weekend, health officials said on Tuesday.

After hearing a loud noise, people went to see what had happened and found a crater 65 feet wide and 22 feet deep on an uninhabited plateau near Carancas in the Puno region.

Experts from Peru's Geophysical Institute are on their way to the area 800 miles south of Lima to verify whether it was a meteorite.

"We've examined about 100 people who got near to the meteorite crater who have vomiting and headaches because of gasses coming out of there," Jorge Lopez, health director in Puno, told Reuters.

"People are scared," he said.

I like these interesting 'What if' scenarios!

Oh no wait, it did happen in real life. After the muslims became city folk after killing everyone, out of the gobi desert came a nomad people waving swords and souped up on zeal for Bhudda. They kicked the Muslims asses And destroyed the Abbayasid Caliphate ...good for them. And they lived happily ever after.

Wait until the troofers hear about it.

I happen to be waiting for an elevator (no it did not have an attendant, I am not in Congress), stepped in a conversation of 2 ladies ("sympathetic to him"), pretending to mind my business, they were talking about how OJ wanted to get HIS things back. I just know there is a choice of at least 2 angles in this.

1. He is taking HIS things, he was driven up the wall by the Goldman's since is was not guilty.

or

2. Some one else got him all riled up. He was driven to insanity, he hastily ran up there and got his things. He was framed by some Italian guy.

re: #12 Ginn

Wow. His defense attorney would love to have you on the Jury.

Kill your wife and get off scott-free. Try to steal some football cards and go to jail for life. What a country!

re: #63 Jim in Virginia

Britney Spears. Now that girl has problems. I wonder what the root causes are?

Styooopidity.

Can we make this a Kos style hidden thread people have to look extra hard for too find. Maybe an empty space on the front page between threads 27100 and 27102?

People dream of fame;

But they lose sight of the set ups. When creeps, these days, can use their cell phones to tape ya. And, that's just money in the bank to the creeps.

So, OJ has been scamming the Goldman's; still making money from memorabilia; but here you have the Prisoner's Dilemma.

You know that one? Where you keep the multiple prisoners in separate jail cells. NOT to talk is the best defense, to go around the table.

But "breaking" can free ya. While you pile it on another "target."

The scuz ball Riccio, purposely taped this even on his Olympus cell phone; because he knew it would bring him money.

I don't think he thought Beardsley would dial 9/11.

So, chalk one thing up to "unintended consquences."

Beardsley, for his part. knew he didn't OWN the goods he was selling. And, if they went missing, he'd be out of pocket: DOUGH.

His call to 9/11 was so that he could get a police report; proving to the individuals "whose stock this was," sort'a a receipt on why he didn't make any money "selling memorabilia."

Dunno if this is the same as the OJ jurors setting him free. Or the totally inadequate Marsha Clark. But there were things to watch during "that" trial. And, it ended badly for "justice."

Now? Me thinks it just ends badly for Obama.

The affirmative action tilt of the Bonkey party sure thows up some wild stuff.

And, since OJ is a flight risk; yes. He's in jail. And, I hope he gets to stay there for a very long time. Whisling ain'[t gonna get him a brain.

re: #51 JammieWearingFool

Slut, Jamie on that same page,
The next story down is better.

MOSCOW, Idaho - A 22-year-old carnival worker blames two friends having sexual intercourse in the back seat of his car for an accident in which his Chevrolet S-10 Blazer struck a telephone pole.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Frank told authorities that the actions of the pair in the back caused the Blazer, which "was top heavy anyway," to become "tippy" and lose control.

Was OJ driving a Blazer?

Later in a press conference the Zombie-American anti defamation league will denounce the minutemen as Vigilates.

Mammoth dung is going to kill us all.

karma is a pita...eh, OJ?

I have been watching the Goldman's interview here and there and they are still broken up when they talk about it.

Bless them.

Keep on his arse, Goldman's...make his life hell.

I was in a work meeting a number of years back, and this one guy (have NO clue how this even came up) concluded the meeting with how he thought OJ was innocent.

The entire group in the meeting screwed up their faces and started groaning and told him he needed to hide. We all left shaking our heads.

I would bet dollars to donuts that he also is one that believes that the gov't did 9/11 and suffers from bds.

I saw the gruesome pictures of the slayings...there are just no words to what I would do if that were my kid :( .

I rear ended a car this morning...

The driver got out of the other car, and he was a dwarf. He looked at me and said "I am NOT Happy!"

So I said, "Well, which one are you then?"

That's when the fight started...

I'm afraid we may be facing another court tv freeze frame of OJ with a barely stifled s##t-eating grin as his hand picked jury announces a no-guilty verdict in this case.

I thought this fool was supposed to be out huntin' for his ex-wife's killer.

Not meaning to make light of "THE JUICE" but his golf swing is possibly the most hideous I've witnessed.

I think I'm going to get a TIVO for the trial. Whoo hoo!

I doubt anyone would be facing Life if it was not OJ related. I see a plea barging coming. With just an audio tape it is going to be tough to get OJ on the stiffer charges unless everybody rolls on him.

Question why are trials so long in California (at least the murder trials). I served on a armed robby jury here (US not California) and it was a one day affair. The prosecution showed that there was two robberies, the defendant was there, he conspired with some other folks and he had a gun in about 40 minutes, the defense took about an hour to try and muddy the evidence. The rest of the 8 hours was spent sitting in the hall, jury selection and deciding the verdict. Granted murder is more complex, but 6 months to present the evidence! I watched some of the OJ trial and it seemed like they took forever to do anything. I remember the coroners testimony. He spent weeks going over the knife cuts, time of death etc. The defense team took about 15 minutes to get him to admit that deaths were caused by either a one or two sided knife and that the time of death was between when they left the restaurant and when the bodies were found. essentially the coroners testimony amounted to 15 minutes of real evidence spread over 3 or 4 weeks. I did not watch the whole trial but to me the verdict came down the DNA evidence. It was very damming especially the mixed blood results from the scene and the Bronco. The problem was you had to trust the police to have handled the evidence properly and not to have contaminated it. Since the key detectives in the case lied on the stand their testimony about the evidence was tainted.

OJ's new prison name: BJ

If he gets convicted (good luck) he will be getting plenty of juice in jail.

re: #113 cartoonboy

OJ's new prison name: BJ

Former NFL player, with street cred for having killed two people with a knife, I doubt OJ would be anybody's b!tch in prison.

And if jury nullification got OJ off one despite irrefutable evidence, it'll probably do it again.

As many have said who really cares? OJ, much like the current dog-fighting scandal with Mike Vic, was an easy target for the celebrity infatuated western news media, that is focused on entertainment rather than what is newsworthy and truly important. Examples: Last week a AK 47 toting Muslim enters a park locked and loaded. No media comment. Second example: the trial in Texas with Islamic Holy-land Foundation focused upon terror financing with un-indicted conspirators CAIR. Western media ignores it. Instead the entertainment driven, liberal press is infatuated with OJ.
Combined with an over-active American justice system that throws a dozen charges against someone for a simple violation of the law. Give us a break! 11 charges against OJ for a simple crime of terroristic threats and possibly armed robbery. I will probably get flamed for this, but the American justice system seems driven by laws out-lawing most everything, and then applying the laws against citizens by the dozens for offenses that would not get an illegal immigrant deported.
Thats just the way things are nowadays.

I can't hit the PLUS SIGN enough. What? I only get to punch it 1 time?

Awesome post LoFlyer. My sentiment is the same but you said it so eloquently.

I'll forever disdain Johnnie Cochran (how's justice grab now you Johnnie?), Barry Scheck (complete sleaze bag), F. Lee Bailey (disbarred proceeding one way ticket to hell).

How about a preemptive islamaphobia defence for OJ anticipating his inevitable prison conversion.

Funny, I tried to give a plus but it came out as a minus. Maybe 2 people gave it a minus at the same time.

I just want another 25 mph freeway chase.
The folks who said OJ did not get a fair trial are right. Who else would have been allowed to turn himself in at the courthouse- and when he didn't show, been followed through LA for three hours?

Charles, It's like his first trial. You don't want to watch but seem compelled to. I have an Aunt who had 50 video tapes full of that one!

I predict he'll get off these charges, too. Too rich a field for a defense.

Maybe OJ can be sent to fill the dictatorship void in Iraq and bring back happier days of carefree kite flying and soothing ululating.

re: #51 JammieWearingFool

Just the thing to introduce visiting foreign dignitaries to!

I shamefully will admit I care (not 24/7 coverage nicole care though). I saw those slaughter pics and they won't ever leave my mind, I want justice for them and their families. I want him put away for good. California made a HUGE mistake, I want Nevada to make it right. Nevada, we are counting on you to start the healing process and put this EVIL pecker behind bars. Don't botch this.

I feel the same way when it comes to wanting to end islam's brutal way of killing people. It's worth the fight to bring these barbarians to justice.

Who is worse?

OJ Simpson

or

the UN
( and the likes of Louise Arbour who do nothing about evil )

re: #145 Friend of USA

The glove did not fit OJ's hand yes ok but why didn't anyone think of trying that glove on George W Bush's hand?

Soak a glove in blood and let it dry in the California sun and and see if it shrinks?
If It does, Its bush and Roves doings.

re: #107 - thanks natalie, needed that laugh ! however I did learn tonight that milk & keyboards don't mix...

OJ has been in prison (of a sort) for the last thirteen years. He can't make any money because the Goldmans end up getting every last dime when he tries to. He is recognized where ever he goes, and is usually asked to leave. IMHO it ain't gonna get any better, and at least in prison he'll have a steady income for Goldman to garnish. It has been *almost* funny to watch Sister Brown too; she's angry because she's not getting any part of the cash cow that this just might become. Whatever happened to OJ & Nicole's kids?

Has OJ not suffered enough! The humanity-people please. Let this hall of famer great walk free-let us elevate our heros, not degrade them with petty laws designed to control the common man.

re: #28 Pro-Bush Canuck

I was in Barbados when the not guilty verdict came down. Two hundred black native Bajans that worked in our office building leapt to their feet and cheered. I've never been the same since. I can't explain it, but somehow a gulf opened up that day.

This is really the most significant thing about the OJ case. Millions of African-Americans, knowing full well that a Black man was getting away with murdering two innocent whites in cold blood, cheered like for the second coming of Jesus Christ. And this included Black law schools, the educated elite, etc.

This phenomena changed permanently my feeling about "Black America".
I know plenty of super Black people, but I will never EVER forget the reaction to the OJ acquittal.

To this day, if someone calls me on the phone about some "inner city" charity, the FIRST thing that pops into my mind is the OJ acquittal reaction.

This kind of publicity if PR viagra.

The funny part is...charles is right.

I rated this entry a negative...and now look at my posts here :P .

Yes, Charles, I would say you know human nature very well :) .

You know, for a "nothing" thread, the comments are still funny. You lizards never let me down...

Would you:

Ride the SLUT?

The other very significant issue about the OJ case, is how the political and economic powers that be forced LA DA Gil Garcetti to change the trial location from Brentwood to downtown LA, thus ensuring a Black jury and an acquittal - the obvious motive being the avoidance of a repeat of the Rodney King riots.

This was underlined when Johnny Cochrane explicitly threatened as much if Judge Ito didn't obediently roll over and do things his way. And of course, Ito complied.

Also, the general air of sickening Political Correctness, recalling the demonization of a good cop, Mark Furman EVEN BY THE PROSECUTION, simply for using the word "n*****" - he was compared by the PROSECUTION to Hitler- even as Dream Team captain Johhny Cochrane was using the term himself freely in court on numerous occasions.

This sick double standard continues to the present, and is ENTIRELY analogous to the kowtowing of mainstream America to radical Islam.

It is bullshit and needs to be called as such.

My money's on the Klingons. For one thing, they seem to have much better-crafted bladed weapons. The Orc weapons (at least from the film trilogy) all look like they were hastily crafted from old Buick fenders.

Um, who was "Rockingham" ?

OJ's such a phoney -- That happy, lumbering walk -- the fake smiling, affable "nice guy" act he puts on for the world -- it's great to see him caught being his real self on audiotape. I can just see him shoving Nicole against a wall, too.

I am perhaps the only American who didn't watch a minute of the OJ Trial. I doubt that I'll watch any of this trial either.

My only memories of OJ to be how he ran for 220 yards against the Lions on Monday Night Football when I was a kid. Or how he was a pathetic shill for USC throughout the game when he blabbered his way through a Rose Bowl from the booth.

Or when he was trying to kill the Queen in the Naked Gun.

The movie starts in a meeting in Beirut with a collection of anti-American leaders: Ayatollah Khomeini, Mikhail Gorbachev (who claims he has the Americans believing he is "a nice guy"), Yasser Arafat, Colonel Gaddafi and Idi Amin, who are planning a terrorist act. The man who is later shown to be Papshmir is seen at this meeting. It turns out that Frank Drebin has been posing undercover as a waiter; he beats up all the attendees, wipes off Gorbachev's forehead birthmark ("I knew it!", proclaims Drebin), and escapes/falls out the window.

I am perhaps the only American who didn't watch a minute of the OJ Trial. I doubt that I'll watch any of this trial either.

I didn't watch it, either. It was boring, the players were all putting on a show for the camera -- including Judge Ito. I found it particularly distasteful that Leno and the like were making fun of it, like the dancing Itos, etc. It insulted and diminished the pain of the families of the murder victims.
I was so shocked when the verdict was not guilty.

His persona was so lovable when he was fronting for Hertz and in the Naked Gun movies. He had a great 2nd career going -- a rare thing for a football player. His true nature eventually won out and blew that all to hell.

When the OJ verdict came down I was teaching at an inner city continuation school. One black principal, a latino office manager, and three of us white teachers.
The principal was overjoyed.

Thank you for saying that; I also care. A lot. Two innocent people were brutally murdered. A significant portion of black people in our country displayed zero moral integrity when they cheered his acquittal and that is something we should all care about. A jury of idiots couldn't understand DNA, or didn't care to, preferring the option of "standing by a bruthuh." That is also something we should all care about.

You can see the OJ story as another celebrity scandal that is not worth our attention, or you can see it as an important barometer of how low our society has fallen. In the latter case, it's just another wake up call.

re: #46 EC Marm

Fred Goldman. I have enormous respect for the man and thank G-d I don't have to endure the life he has.

I hope that he doesn't get to keep his Golf gloves. I think they were the cause of his wicked slice.

I know that OJ is a disgusting sociopath, but if the stuff he stole was really his, then it's a moral jumble. (And why didn't he go to the police?)

Actually, I think the shock value of the OJ acquittal was very good for the country. It was such a blatant example of black racism that white people stopped putting up with black racial whining.

It's no coincidence that shortly afterward, for the first time, white male actors were allowed to kiss black women on television and the movies without howls of protest.

What I remember is a front page LA Times story about a candlelight vigil for OJ's two victims--a huge above-the-fold story. Yes, it was sad. Two pretty, innocent people got their throats slit on the West side of town.

Meanwhile, on page 14-15, was the story of the ongoing Rwandan massacres during which hundreds of thousands of innocent people were getting their throats slit. That tragedy was buried, day after day, behind the OJ hype. I don't know if it ever made it to page 1.

That's when I first really began to see the media for what it is.
