Not Again OJ

Denver, CO -- The news of O.J. Simpson's arrest this weekend came as a shock. When I first heard the story, and the numerous conflicting accounts, I didn't know what to believe. Simpson, according to some accounts, flew all the way from Florida to Las Vegas to get back what he calls some stolen merchandise that he believes was taken from him. Then Simpson and a group of cohorts stormed into (or was escorted into, depending on who you believe) a Vegas hotel room to confront a sports memorabilia dealer who was supposedly trying to sell Simpson's things.

On day one of the story, the alleged victim accused O.J. and a group of gun-wielding thugs, of attacking him and stealing property. On day two, the alleged victim seemed to deny the accusations and said he wasn't planning to press charges. Then on day three, O.J. was behind bars, locked up for attempted robbery and other crimes. And finally on day four an audiotape emerges implicating O.J. at the scene in a confrontational encounter.

The audiotape doesn't prove that O.J. or anyone else had a gun, but it does prove that O.J. used some incredibly bad judgment. Even if the property belonged to him (which it may very well; I don't know), that's no excuse to take the law into his own hands. The better course of action would have been to call the police to get them to investigate.

But let's say O.J. didn't want to call the police. He is, after all, O.J. Smpson, and he's not well liked among the police forces in America. Let's say O.J. wanted to send his goons to get the stolen goods back. That might make sense in a "Godfather" episode, but not in real life. And even if that was his plan, why would he be stupid enough to go with the goons to the hotel room?

Like I said, O.J. wasn't using his brain. I don't know if he did what the accusers and the police say he did, but I do know he's guilty of one thing. He's guilty of being incredibly stupid.

Back in the 70's when I was young and beautiful, OJ was young beautiful too. I thought he was one of the sexiest men alive, along with Richard Rountree, Ron O'Neal, Herm Edwards, ofcourse--Belafonte...oh, and Paul Newman (I'm not a bigot) I had no idea that OJ was a complete lunatic and would grow worse with age.

Only a queen or a "lost" female would want to go to bed with a man that might kill you at anytime, " guess I got a passion for him." Damn fool.

ramsueno

If we ignore this will it go away? I'll never get back that hour or so of watching that white Bronco, so I refuse to let him steal anymore of my attention...Paris Hilton that goes double for you...

cmoney

O.J.: Please don't pull out the "Black Card" this time. You used up the one Johnny Cochran loaned you last time and, once you got off, went back to being an honorary White (in your own mind). If you pull the Black card this time, no one will believe you and you will get all of the prison sentence your stupid, sell out ass deserves.

Children, this has to be the biggest fool in America. Orenthal seems to be blissfully oblivious to the fact that white folks in this country HATE him. The "news" channels and all those he has made multimillionaires are running wild with 24/7 coverage, more money on his back. I saw Marc Fuhrman, avowed racist and the reason he is walking free on Faux News and that spoke volumes. What is wrong with him? Why can't he keep his mouth shut? Why can't he lay low?

He loves the spotlight as much as his blond women, and now, they are crossing every t and dotting every i, OJ, boo, you are going to jail for a long, long, long time. Sorry, just where does his attorney think he's going to find a "fair and impartial" jury? Not in the US of A, and Orenthal has no one to blame but Orenthal.

RIGHT ON LARUFUS...YOU AIN'T NEVER LIED...OJ SIMPSON IS A SELF-LOATHING BLACK OREO BASTARD...I DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING FOR THIS SORRY-ASS OERO BASTARD...HE IS A STUPID IDIOT...HE SHOULD HAVE JUST LEFT THE COUNTRY LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON. LET HIS WHITE FRIENDS HELP HIM OUT NOW...LET HIS WHITE WOMEN HELP HIS SORRY ASS...YOU KNOW THE ONES WHO HE BRAGGED TO THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE BLACK WOMEN AS INTIMATE PARTNERS IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE...

BLACK PEOPLE IN PUBLIC LIFE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER THEY SAY TO THEIR "SO-CALLED BEST WHITE FRIENDS" ABOUT HOW THEY DISLIKE A BLACK MATE JUST MAKES PEOPLE LOSE RESPECT FOR STUPID OREO ASSES WITH COLOR ISSUES...USE SOME OF YOUR MONEY TO GET HELP WITH YOUR COLOR ISSUES.
QUESTION:
WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER I SEE BLACK PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH WHITE PEOPLE, THE BLACK PERSON IS WORKING THREE JOBS TO HOLD EVERYTHING TOGETHER...I KNOW A WELL KNOWN BLACK LESBIAN IN DC AND WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER SHE GOES OUT OF TOWN TO MAKE A SPEECH, HER YOUNG WHITE WOMAN IS FUCKING EVERYBODY....

O.J. Simpson won't be able to put up a multi-million dollar defense this time. Ron Goldman's daddy must be very happy right about now.

G-man

I am SO SO SO SO tired of hearing about O.J. This was indeed very stupid on his part! I guess he thought he was filming a scene from the Naked Gun and was in full detective mode?? LOL... I don't know, but amidst all that has been in recent news about the book and the Goldmans and Browns feuding, he had to go and add fuel to the fire. I don't know why he wouldn't go to the authorities. Even if they hadn't taken him seriously he could have made a report and it would have been documented... He deserves an award for being the biggest Idiot of the year!!!

karmatic

What most of you seem to be missing is the "White "fervor and hunger of seeing O.J fall...I need to say that "I couldn't give a shit about O.J or his ills" , but the media will decend on that court house this wednesday like it was the trial of the century....Whites in this country seem to be so damn concern about justice being served yet they turn a blind eye to the injustice people of color experience each and every day in the system....

And what of Robert Blake? Did he not walk free after shooting his wife in the damn head? Why aren't the media following him around waiting for a slip up??

brucito

I honestly thought with the death of Johnny Cochran all black celebrities knew they had better act like they got some damn sense because he is no longer here to save their asses. Puffy, JZ, Todd Bridges and the like all seem to understand this. I wondered when I was looking at that Bronce "chase" on TV why the hell would a man run from something that he is not guilty of. He had the money to afford any attorney. Why run? Personally I think his black ass did it. And I don't give a fuck who thinks I am an Oreo for thinking it. He never came to any functions given on behalf of the United Negro College fund, NAACP, the Urban League. Nothing. His ass is going down with this one. Good goddamn riddence. P.S. Any money he comes up with for the attorney's fees the Ron Goldman's family has first claim to it. That damn cocaine wil do it everytime.

Ostend Street

The second I started writing this, I was asking myself why am I even trying to make sense of this media hungry, attention starved fool. There is something very, very sick about a grown man seeking his own self destruction. Truly, a sad individual.

Andy

Its obvious that he is not playing with a full deck, since why on earth is he always mugging for the cameras when he knows that these white folks hate him more than bin Laden and are happy as all out that he is in jail and will be convicted. And, now that he is headed for the clink, that $25000 a month pension will have to wait for him to get out when he's about 80 years of age, what a narcissistic chump.

J

The book did it. They wanted his head, but he was sort of off the radar until he decided to make a few bucks and get in the papers. Maybe golf and pooning white skanks bores him because he seems to pop up and do weird/dumb things every six months or so.

I don't know how taking your stuff back is a crime exactly, hell there are how many companies that exist for that purpose? I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in the pen, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he walked. I love how there's all this breaking news. You'd think he knifed up a couple more coke whores.

Luther

This has to be the most 'ignunt man in the country. The white owned media is glaoting, calling him out as a killer, when they have no proof and he was aquitted, even though I do think he did it. The worst one is MSNBC and Dan Abrams, an alleged lawyer, and Fox "news" which being anti-black is part of thier motto and rabid, foaming at the mouth anti-black male Nancy Grace, she has dug up old Niclole Brown Simpson tapes, just what do they have to do with this case?? Even some of the white gay sites are "talking" about it,with the usual raical overtones they have with black men.

Its a shame that other victims of violent crimes don't get this much attention, but, when its a black man a white woman, the real USA shows up, and as it is showing, racism is alive and well, and no one is to blame for this trash that OJ, what a fool.

And, real victims of crimes, other than blond white women who may go missing, will be ignored for the next 6 or 7 months because of the medias sick obsesion with this creep.

Sandy

O.J. will be hit with the maximum on every count even if he wasn't holding the gun. They finally got his ass now! I thought no one could top Micheal Vick for dumb sh.. O.J. is dumb, Johnny Cochran is dead...what he gonna do? I feel so sorry for his children, my God is their father crazy. I truly do wish them peace.

Suga Hillz

Could it be that OJ is finally getting what he deserves? Tha dude killed his ex-wife and another man, and walked away, the criminal justice system and any amount of white people on a jury won't let it happen again - whether he is truly guilty or not! This dude has the worse timing of any black man I know! Be blessed!

Suga Hillz

I loathe OJ and think he's the stupidest man on the face of the earth; however, the white gays celebrating over on Datalounge are truly disgusting and not even trying to hide their racism, posting that OJ supporters "should go back to their NAACP meeting" and calling OJ's entire family slime and on and on. (I couldn't resist posting some choice words on there for their hypocritical asses to chew on.)

Yes, OJ, the stupid fucking asshole, brought this all on himself and maybe he really is finally about to get what he deserves, but the white folks' glee over it is nothing short of sickening.

Equalnox

I'm not particularly happy with Fox News. They love their "fair and balanced" slogan, however, when they put up a graphic of OJ's mug shot with prison bars in front, are they really 'fair and balanced'?

However, with that said, if OJ and friends hadn't stormed into that Las Vegas hotel room, there would be no story. He brought all this heartache and pain on himself. It's not easy keeping yourself in check when you feel that someone has stolen your property, but just keep thinking to yourself, "What would Judge Judy say?" She would probably say, "Call the police! Don't take matters into your own hands!"

Blue

He's out of his mind ... you can see it in his eyes. I can't really feel sorry for him. Once he got off years ago, he should have just gone on about his business and disappeared. But when you do dumb shit and court negative attention, this is what happens. Pure foolishness.

Mimi

He's a fool for sure, no doubt about that, but, this feeding frenzy and blatant racism from the press is sick and disgusting. I don't care if he did kill or did not kill those two people or if has tuanted the ones he made rich by snubbing his nose in thier faces, this is just ridiclous in this so called country of innocent until proven guilty, even if your name is OJ Simpson.

And, to the guys who posted about the gay sites, why on earth are you surprised? Anyone who frequents those sites knows that they are as rabid racist as they come, especially anything about black men.

Black Woman

I'm soo sick of the "white" media's obsession with OJ.

Do I think he was set-up? Probably. The tape of him going off and acting like a fool, definitely makes me suspicious. Why was he being taped? Yes, I realize that OJs crazy ass. Brother has anger issues. He always has. And that tape definitely reflected poorly on him. He can't cover up whats on that tape with his signature Oreo smile. Goodness 60 years old and going to jail.

That said, I'd be extremely pissed if someone stole my stuff. I don't know if I'd do what OJ did, but I'd definitely cuss somebody out. Come on folks, some of you have whipped some ass over $10 and a happy meal. Nobody likes to get their shittt stolen.

That said, white folks in America are rejoicing. Jumping up and down just like black folks did when OJ was acquitted. They waited long for this.

Gordon

White people are a damn trip anyway you cut it. Not to mention, the Jewish media who is having a frenzy. I do feel like O.J. was set up, and it was only a matter of time before they caught his black stupid ass. I have no pity for him, only the fact that my good t.v. programs are going to be interrupted again with this here mess...Lawd have mercy! O.J. thought he got away, but he didn't he was truly Amerikkka's most wanted.

And as for the white queens, I don't see how one black gay man can find any solidarity amongst those bitches. I loathed them, they are more racist than the Klan itself.

But,I do admire O.J. for one thing, getting the hell off of those murder charges. I was glad he got off! But I still don't like him.

Brucito

I hope some of you are proofreading what you are saying. OJ was set up?? He goes into a hotel room accompanied by men with guns. He is cursing and demanding his shit back and he was set up?? What was wrong with calling the police and telling them that your stolen merchandise is in a room and you have proof that it is there? Even if it was stolen you do not have the right to burst into someone's room with guns drawn and then tell them they are not calling 911 on you but you are taking your shit back. Who does it sound like who is robbing who here? People now is the time to exercise common sense and let his black-but-still-think-he-is-loved-by-white-folks-ass get just what he asked for. After his aquittal did anyone see him at any black oriented events? Or is he black only when his ass is charge with a crime and need support from those who still have a kill whitey at all cost mentallity? Fuck Orenthal J. Simpson.

Darnell

Well, looks like Orenthal has ticked these white folks off for the last time, since now they have added kidnapping! Go on OJ, your smug, silly butt is in jail for life and you will now be living in Jean, Nevada, a huge step down from fabulous, to some, Miami. And, while, I feel that he should be given a fair hearing for these charges, its not going to happen. Like it or not, the media has already convicted him, and there isn't a person in the world who has not heard about this case.

And, could someone please get Nancy Grace a man? A real one who knows what a woman needs? She is so angry, bitter and shrewish, that the only thing that comes out of her mouth is hate and nothing else.

Nathan James

Yes, I think OJ was put up to this. Somebody probably called him on the phone and said "Hey, OJ, you know they got your sh*t up there". Knowing full well that OJ is a hothead, and that OJ would do something stupid. This in no way lets OJ off the hook. However, as many have posted here, OJ's real crime was that he did not THINK. People were just waiting for OJ to give them the slightest excuse to lock him up. He managed to avoid jail several times since the murder trial, but I think things have caught up with him now.

I do wonder why on Earth OJ would further incite animosity against him by writing "If I Did It". Now he must sleep in the bed of hot coals he has made for himself. Sad!

WATCHING THE SIMPSON ARRAIGNMENT NOW ON CNN.com --- I THINK HE IS GOING TO GET OUT ON BAIL FOR 125K... HE IS A SELF-LOATING BLACK OREO BASTARD WHO HAS TO HAVE THE APPROVAL OF WHITE PEOPLE TO GIVE HIMSELF SOME VALUE...POOR CRITTER...&@#$%#%*!!

J

Oh my damn, the king of all white girls is getting out.

Lock up your snow bunnies.

He better find his ass in Mexico or Bahrain.

'dre

could someone beat him like a runaway slave, with white girls in tow of course, for being the biggest fool in this country? it's a shame that no one told him the truth or gave him a clue, these white folks were just waiting for you to screw up and boy, did you do it big time.

just a pitiful 60 year old fool headed for the clink.

G-man

Darnell I agree with you about Nancy Grace. She is the devil personified!!!

Catigula

I would have to think that O.J. continues to find himself caught up in his own ego, and the idea that his celebrity places him at levels above the law. Why else (other than the man is just stupid...) would he proceed with this type of obviously rediculous and non-rewarding action? http://catigula.journalspace.com

titi

LET THEM HANG HIM. UNCONSCIOUS BLACK MALE LIKE HIM DESERVE NOTHING BUT THE NOOSE OF WHITE FOLK AROUND HIS NECK..ANYWAY HE'S NO USE TO THE COMMUNITY.. HE'S BEEN A WASTE OF SKIN AND SPACE THROUGHOUT HIS HIGHT AND DOWN. PLEASE LET'S NOT TURN THIS INTO WHITE AND BLACK THINK. OJ HAS PUBLICLY CHOSEN TO BE THE DONKEY ASS HE ALWAYS WAS BEHIND THE VEIL OF FAME. IF HE CAN FOOL US THIS TIME AGAIN THEN SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH US IN THE MIRROR.
