OJ - June Debut
Danimom | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 01:46 pm     Wouldn't it just be hilarious if it was discovered and proven that OJ really didn't kill Nicole? Really, who knows the truth, certainly none of the general public since we weren't there. (There are *speculations* in Los Angeles about who really did it, but it will never hit the news, it is someone extremely close to OJ.) I can imagine all the back pedalling and behind-smooching that would be headed his way after a that. I don't know if he did it or not, but wouldn't it just be funny to watch people after that. |
Crazydog | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 02:20 pm     We could debate about OJ till the cows come home. It's true that nobody was there, but the evidence against him is staggering. I am still flabbergasted as to why this man who claimed he was innocent would take his white Bronco and tell the police he was going to kill himself. It is one of the greatest travesties that he was acquitted. Even if he didn't do it, the way he beat his wife is disgraceful. Sorry Danimom, but I don't think the public will ever be lining up to kiss OJ's rear-end. The only consolation is that he will answer to God when he dies and I think he's got a reservation in a warm destination. |
Maris | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 02:29 pm     Well looking at the DNA evidence, Even Kato Kaelin's testimony tied in to the discovery of the bloody glove at the side of the house, the bruno magli footprints, the blood in the van, the aris light isotoner gloves, the bloody sock in his bedroom. The testimony of the French guy,and dont forget the testimony of the Limo Driver which was something nobody could break. Then there was the history of abuse (the 911 calls, the call to the women's shelter, the photos of her beaten up) which tied everything together when nicole would not allow OJ to join them for dinner after the daughters dance recital. There is no doubt in my mind he did it. It was just a case of jury nullification. They knew he did it too. |
Max | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 03:44 pm     OJ is now making a bid to provide commentary for the media during the Robert Blake trial. All I can say is that whatever "news" media hires him to do this is one that I will NEVER watch, read, or listen to again. UGH! |
Danimom | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 04:28 pm     Such stone throwing, that's what really gets me. I'm not at all proud, happy, or in any way feeling positive about anyone that beats on another person. BUT, as messy and sinful and disgusting as people's lives are, it seems to me that the judgement should be left God. You can't disagree and disapprove without 'judgement', at least I think so. Sins aren't rated. You never know who may also have a reservation in a warm destination. Just my opinion.... |
Danimom | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 04:30 pm     meant to say that you CAN disagree and disapprove without 'judgement' |
Max | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 05:59 pm     <Sigh> Dani, you have a perfect right to that opinion. I disagree. Being Christian doesn't mean that I can't make judgements about how people act and the character (or lack thereof) they exhibit. It also doesn't mean I can't make a choice to avoid some people or to not participate in things that support the actions some people choose to take. Being Christian gives me the guidance to MAKE those judgements and choices for myself. The judgement the Bible tells us NOT to make is in regards to who will be forgiven and who won't. That judgement is only for God to make. Disclaimer: By responding to Dani's post, I do NOT intend to hijack this thread into a discussion of Christian ethics or anything else related to religion. Further, the opinions in this post are MY OWN and are not necessarily representative of opinions shared by others who might or might not identify themselves as Christian. Thank you.  |
Maris | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 06:07 pm     well, all I can say is that its a safe bet that a double homocide pretty much guarantees you a hot spot. |
Ryn | Monday, April 28, 2003 - 08:52 pm     I have a question - is this about OJ & a reality show anymore - or is this now an OJ debate? Seems like him being on a reality show is not the topic anymore and if its gonna be all about guit/innocence/forgiving/etc etc etc, maybe it should be discussed elsewhere. just my 2 cents. |
Sia | Tuesday, April 29, 2003 - 06:15 am     I wouldn't watch any television program that O.J. Simpson appeared on--unless it were closed-circuit TV and I were with an FBI surveillance team. Following the trial closely, listening to the witnesses and seeing the evidence (I had cable when I was single!!), I felt in my heart that O.J. did commit the murders himself. Because I think he's guilty, I wouldn't watch any TV show he is on; I don't want to endorse him in any way. I found it surprising that O.J. would allow himself to be subjected to any further public scrutiny, but after reading that he didn't cook this scheme up, I see that the "reality series" idea wasn't his. He'd be smart to lead a quiet life and stay out of trouble and out of the public eye. "The truth is out there." |
Danimom | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 05:18 pm     I tend to think that you just never know how people are going to respond. If OJ's show makes money it will definitely be on tv. If some people can make money by associating with him they will do it. (not all, but I'm sure at least some) I bet some people figure, what the heck, the world is going to crucify you no matter what, whether its based on the size of your body, the color of your hair, the color of your skin, your religion, whatever, so you might as well make some money with OJ. The real unfortunate thing about the OJ case, is that the case was tainted with tampered evidence, policemen with racial biases, and a history of ongoing problems within the Los Angeles police department that prevented the truth to be uncovered with certainty. Prosecutors would have probably have loved to move the case to Simi Valley, but after their Rodney King debaucle and the city being torched they couldn't pull that little trick any more. In any case, I still don't know if the man did it. The system in this country that was used to throw innocent people in jail for years, freed him so that's what the world is stuck with. Heck, maybe he did it and the Los Angeles police got payback for all the years of beating innocent black people down in the street by OJ getting away with it. Either way, OJ being acquitted didn't improve or worsen my life so I let God deal with him and not harbor ill will towards him. I don't hang out with him and I'm not at all vested in his situation. I would probably check out the show just to see what its about but not stick with it cause I don't find him interesting. But I also wouldn't watch Robert Blake on a show cause I don't find him interesting either. |
