Members Hard Truth Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yes, it was not a wise choice, but an understandable one, for him to gather some friends and agressively confront people selling off items that were stolen from him. A lot of people in the same situation would have done the same thing and many probably got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's typically more common practice to go through legal channels than it is to bust in on someone with a bunch of thugs while waving a gun. To answer the original question, um, no.

Members ggm1960 Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've always felt uneasy that even though he was acquitted of the infamous murder charge, most just seem to assume he was guilty of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ernest Buckley Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Call me a rascist but I don`t feel bad for him and I do think he got away with murder but thats old news right? He said he would find the killers, then went out and played 18 holes of golf. The guy is seriously screwed up. I feel bad for him though in a very strange way. Heres a guy who had it all and let it all crumble. Pretty sad stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres a guy who had it all and let it all crumble. Pretty sad stuff. my thoughts too...I remember watching the 'slow speed' chase, feeling he was being railroaded (I was a 10 year law enforcement veteran at the time and saw my share of racial inequity) I kept hoping for a logical explanation of his flight...then the trial, acquital, the celebration dance with the female ghetto queen juror with the bad wig hat on, and THEN...THOSE 18 holes of golf, followed by the promise to find those 'Columbian drug dealers' responsible for Nicoles death...{censored} him, he's breathin' my air, but hopefully not for long.

Members cmw Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 If you somehow managed to narrowly escape criminal prosecution for a double murder you were subsequently found liable for in civil case ... Wouldn't you do everything you possibly could to stay on the right side of the law from that point forward? Personally, I think he's guilty as hell and a thug to boot, so no ... I don't feel sorry for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously don't know for sure, but I'd say it looked really bad, wouldn't you say? We haven't proven Osama bin Laden guilty in a court of law either, but most just seem to assume he was guilty.

Moderators MrKnobs Posted October 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've always felt uneasy that even though he was acquitted of the infamous murder charge, most just seem to assume he was guilty of it anyway. If YOUR wife was brutally murdered (god forbid), and you were suspected of that horrible crime, but were exonerated, would you later..... WRITE A BOOK titled, "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer ?" And no, I'm not sorry for him at all. I'm sorry for all the people who grieved and still grieve for Nicole and her friend, Ron Goldman.

I don't feel sorry for him. Yeah when you know so many are waiting for you to slip to do something like that I can't feel sorry for him. I saw that criminal trial btw. Most of it all the way to the closing arguments. Barry Sheck is the one that won it for him. Not so much Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I wanted to reflect on the original question more fully, examine all aspects in a factual and philosophical manner. And after much soul-searching and exploration of my thoughts, this is my answer: No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidJones529 Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I sort of have pity...not sure if pity is the right word. Just wonder I guess. He had it all and more. One of the greatest football players of all time,if not the greatest. Just interesting...was it drugs, hereditary, upbringing...a combination of all three. Just weird. I think this latest ordeal is his way of turning himself in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ernest Buckley Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think this latest ordeal is his way of turning himself in... Yeah, I wrote that in a similar thread here a few weeks back that I think I actually started. I think he has way too much guilt just rotting him from the inside out and this is way of sort of easing the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lukenskywalker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 ERNEST, Sorry If I repeating your original thread, I'm new here and it was probably posted before I signed on ...mea culpa for the rehash. Hard Truth said he (OJ) was just trying to get back things that belonged to him...was that what he had in mind when he brutally took the life of his estranged wife and a perfect stranger...all about possesion?

Moderators Lee Knight Posted October 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2008 I feel he's been unfairly singled out because if his celebrity and his heritage. All the false accusations are so unfair for such a great icon to have to face. It's not right. His story will one day be told and he will be vindicated. Then we will have to face the truth about our witch hunt, string 'im up, railroad, mob mentality. Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ethan Winer Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 but ... understandable ... for him to gather some friends and agressively confront people selling off items that were stolen from him. I can't believe I'm chiming in on this, but I want to clarify what (I was told) is the true story behind those "stolen" items. As it was explained to me, he tried to duck the lawsuit by the Goldmans, and he stashed those items to hide them from collection. So add me to the "no pity" list. --Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
