Steakhouse refuses to serve OJ Simpson
 
http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/05/09/si....ap/index.html

Quote:

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- The owner of an upscale steakhouse said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts.

"I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview Tuesday.

......

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.

"He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did," Galanter said by telephone Tuesday night.
My thoughts:

1) KUDOS to the restaurant owner for refusing to serve Simpson, and he had every right to.

2) Is Simpson's lawyer serious about the incident being about race?! That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why does OJ play the race card every time something happens to him? News flash: people don't like you because you're a total scumbag (not to mention a murderer IMO), not because you're black.

Honestly, even if you don't believe that Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, you have to agree that he's total trash for trying to cash in on it with that book he wrote.

So why is this news?What the world stopps just because O.J. didnt get the "STEAK & LOBSTER" DINNER he wanted?????????

So since this is a topic of news today...I'd like to pose this question. If all the "whites" who killed,beat & attacked with dogs, arican-americans during the "civil rights" movement(not even going as far back as to slavery) eventhough they were GUILTY but, found NOT GUILTY would you refuse to serve them also.but, first think about all those "whites" who as of today who are JUST BEING PROSECUTED AND CONVICTED OF THESE MURDERS AND BEATING THAT TOOK PLACE MANY YEARS AGO!

I'm sure OJ killed the whites because the whites killed the blacks during the civil rights movement.

Wait wait, my proverb 3:13-14 says 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,

14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.


.. that's totally different than yours. You might want to get your bible replaced.


To actually answer your question: If I owned a place of business, and if a public (public as in, everyone knows the guy, I can't look into men's hearts, I am not God) figure came in who had, in my opinion, obviously committed a crime (OJ was civily found liable, has never paid that $$$ and tried to make more that he had no intention of paying), but got away with it? Yes, I would refuse him service.

The second part of your post makes no sense to me. I'm unaware of any "whites" (wtf quotes?) who are just recently being prosecuted for these crimes, but if they're guilty I say hang the bastards. (Ok I say imprison them for life cause I"m not really a death penalty kinda girl.)

deeznutz 05-10-2007 02:38 PM

Well lets get things straight.

1.I never quoted provb.3:13-14 through so there is no need 4 the comment of "replacing the bible" and by the way which 1 do you recomend the NIV,old version abbridged, etc. when you know get at me.....and when the provb. states for she is more precious than silver & gold" they are talking about "knowledge"

2. And another thing I NEVER said that he wasnt GUILTY!i'm just saying that "How can you have 1 set of standards 4 1 and not another??????

3. And just because YOU hvaent heard of anything of this type of magnatude doesnt mean its not true.

humm it seems to me that eventhough you have the "net" people are still afraid of the truth..and those who dont understand the truth and its origin are blinded by THEIR OWN REALITY!!!!

provb.3:13-14
who's nutz?????DEEZNUTZ!!!!!

Ex-Alabama trooper indicted in pivotal civil rights-era case

MARION, Alabama (AP) -- A former state trooper surrendered Thursday on a murder charge in the 1965 shooting death of a black man during a civil rights protest, a killing that led to the "Bloody Sunday" march and the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

Former trooper James Bonard Fowler, who contends he fired in self-defense in a struggle over a gun, was charged with first-degree and second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jackson.

The first-degree charge is for a killing that is intentional, while the second-degree charge is for one that is unintentional. Both carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Fowler, who is 73 and lives in Geneva in southeast Alabama, was allowed to remain free on a $250,000 property bond.


Is this what you are talking about? Yes, he should be refused service at area restaurants also. However, has he attempted to write a book entitled "I Didn't Kill this Man While I was a State Trooper, But if I did This is How I Did It"?

I probably wouldn't have served the guy, simply because I know if it came to any sort of knife fight, he'd win.

Seriously, the guy's a ninja with a small hand knife.

You write it at the bottom of each post, try putting it in a signature.
I recommend the New American Bible, but I'm Catholic and we have extra books that Protestants don't usually include (or they put them in the back)

Also, I understood the verses thank you.

Who are you accusing have having double standards? I agreed that if someone like the guy mentioned above walked into my place of business I'd refuse to serve him.

Quote:

I did not doubt its veracity. Your poor spelling, grammar and excessive punctuation make it more difficult to understand you. I simply had not heard of it occurring, and I didn't know why you put the word "whites" in quotes. I live in the Midwest and though I read the paper, I didn't see anything about that case or any others.

Who are you talking about? Because seriously, you're a little over the top here because everyone seems to agree with you...

If you make this a signature you don't have to retype it each time, and no one will think it's part of your post.
Also, we know you're "nutz."

Sweetheart, it is really uncool to cavalierly make these kinds of statements. How old were you when the verdict when down? I was in graduate school hearing it on the radio at SDSU Life Sciences Building 4th Floor...

OJ has his reasons for playing his bullisht-azzed card that has been rejected by EVERY true 'hood. Then he tries to roll up in these posh places where "they" don't like him no more...

Now, homeboy is in Flow-Dah... Some parts think they are Mason-Dixon... No matter how inaccurate their history lessons may be... Orenthal best be careful. Without street credit, he will not be protected.

Remember Rosewood.
