Oh my.

And it's an enormous bonfire, one of the largest I've seen on Skins's island.

OMG OJ Guilty On All Counts! Yes Yes Yes!!!!!
   
That murdering piece of shit will finally have his ass rot in prison. Finally! Just woke up and read the news and am ecstatic!

Hell, might be for completely different charges but I really don't give a ****. He's a brutal cold hearted murderer who should've started a life prison sentence 13 years ago. Finally justice is served. Finally Ron and Nicole's killer will be behind bars. **** YOU OJ! Rot in hell you bastard.

The first few primitive comments; the whole bonfire's worth reading in its entirety at the link above.

1. Totally ignoring the fact that OJ was found innocent by a jury of his peers.
   
You'd make a great Republican.

31. So how did you come to the conclusion his peers are ignorant?
   
"The jury consisted of 8 blacks, 2 Hispanics, 1 half-Caucasian, half Native American, and 1 Caucasian female."

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/Simpso...

Are you basing your conclusion on the racial makeup of the jury as most white Americans did? Hmmm?

What does that tell you about yourself? Probably nothing.

The OJ trial, among other things, was a mirror for the white/black divide in America. After witnessing white America's reaction after the trial and their continued reaction over all these years I find it very hard to understand how white America can continue to look at itself in this or any other mirror.

Pardon me, white America, but your racism is showing -- again.

It's not only racism, but sexism, showing again on Skins's island, demonstrated by the lack of primitive support for Cynthia McKinney, not only a black but also a woman.  With the primitives, one gets two for the price of one, racism + sexism.

36. pardon me, but insisting that all white americans are viciously racist is bullshit
   
suggesting that any white american who thought that OJ murdered his wife is a racist, is ugly bullshit. Some are. Some aren't. Your ugly hate is showing.

37. Pardon me but I never said all white Americans are "viciously racist"
   
Even though American history proves that many were and many still are.

You misrepresent statements as well as any Republican.

Show me where I accused white Americans of being "viciously racist". I said white America is inherently racist and American history also proves that fact.

I completely understand why you'd want to misrepresent my statement and duck the truth. White America suffers from cognitive dissonance on its racism, and rightfully so. But that doesn't change the fact that white America is inherently racist.

42. tough shit for you that I agree that white america is inherently racist
   
I have no illusions on that anymore than I have any illusions that americans- black, white, hispanic and other are inherently homophobic or inherently sexist. we aren't color blind. we aren't tolerant of gays and women are still ****ed over by a patriarchal society. Having said that, we have made progress. I live in a very white area of the whitest state in the country and yet in 1988, my county voted for Jesse in the primary. This year in the dem primary we voted for Obama. Vermont will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. That's progress.

And I apologize for saying you said, viciously racist. You didn't. I don't like it when people put words in my mouth. Sorry I did it to you. But your posts in this thread have been largely codswallop. All that crap about how people on DU will revert to racism, and yes you said that, and the shit about how you don't see how white americans can look in any mirror. That's just grotesque generalization. And it sucks.

I don't suppose it bothers you that America is inherently sexist and even more homophobic than it is racist. You're looking through a very narrow prism. Hell, you're running around here calling people racists pigs. Hard not to have contempt for people who throw such charged accusations around.

Oh, and I lived with a black guy for two years- and that was back in the late seventies. We encountered very little crap about us- not from our families our friends.

And then a non-primitive inhabitant of Skins's island shows up:

142. So does that mean that nonwhites have the right to commit cold-blooded murder and then get away with it? Does the existence of institutionalized racism mean that nonwhites shouldn't be held accountable for any crimes they may commit?

43. ROFLMAO!!! You Really Are Too Much!
   
They were ignorant because despite the way the defense tried to confuse everything and the bullshit tactics of the defense (such as bloating oj's hands so the gloves wouldn't fit), there was so much obvious evidence that he was guilty of the crime that to have been convinced from the theatrical games that it wasn't beyond a reasonable doubt, would make one ignorant in my opinion. And it had nothing to do with racism, and all to do with a cold blooded brutal killer and wife abuser getting away with a crime he committed. Get a grip.

May he now rot for the rest of his days!

Wooooooohoooooo!!!! He's finally getting his ass locked up!

160. I agree with you OMC
   
The jury in the original OJ criminal murder trial was so wrong.

Many people are so naive they don't know that juries are often wrong, especially when you can stack them with ignorant people or biased people. There are cases like that everywhere in this country all the time. Anyone who doesn't know this knows nothing about our "justice" system.

71. Perhaps it was REVERSE racism since the victims were White?
   
Hmm...see how it works both ways here? There was clear evidence of OJ's stalking tendencies and violence/jealousy against Nicole. And even when he was set free, whom did he gravitate towards? A Black woman? Hell to the no! Why, bestill my heart, it was a Nicole look-alike!

154. Me too. It's vengeance, not justice.
   
He was convicted of all 12 counts? Faces possible life in prison? For taking back some of his old memorabilia from a sports dealer? The jury was all-white in this case & that's worth noting IMO. This was basically "double jeopardy", with the new jury exacting vengeance for a prior crime after he had been already found not guilty of that crime. I don't like it.

104. woo hoo...scared white people can breathe a sigh of relief.

It takes quite a while to scroll down to the bottom, and much to my disappointment, despite all that time and those hopes, the usual apologists for criminals, such as Doug's ex-wife, Joanne98, the the1onein primitive, &c., &c., &c., never showed up at this bonfire to defend O.J. Simpson.

DUmmies don`t think...they just believe in things.
It is what allows them to have the notion that you could confiscate all "wealth" this year and somehow it would regenerate on its own to be confiscated again next year.

Racism is simply a thing to attack Republicans with to them and has no meaning outside of that.
They believe that all and only Republican can be racists.

It is a pleasure to see how they react when simply holding an opinion about OJ means that they are racist.

[jtyangel]

I love how the person crying racism doesn't note the number of times the jury in the OJ murder case were talking about how they had an opportunity to the tip the scales in favor of a black man and they did. THEY(the mostly minority jury) said numerous times that their decision was about 'racial justice' despite that fact that I believe a couple have said over the years they did believe he committed the crime, yet any white who also knew what a farce was and is happy to finally see him in jail is racist...pardon me while I lmao. I think in some ways the older Goldman has been consumed too much with this--that poor man, but I can understand how his son was just a bystander really in this and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person and he got no justice based on some bullshit call of 'racial justice'. That jury only served to let OJ influence his children, already damaged by this, even more and create even more victims and to prolong the pain of the Goldman family and Nicole's family. It is the original jury who should be ashamed of themselves. If they really believed in 'justice' they would have done the right thing to begin with and would have put aside their own deep seated racial issues to put a murderer away for life.

"The jury consisted of 8 blacks, 2 Hispanics, 1 half-Caucasian, half Native American, and 1 Caucasian female."

Now, if several million dollars, half a dozen lawyers and 6 a months trial couldn't plant the seed of "reasonable doubt" in that group, which would you worry about, the fertility of the soil or the germnation factor of the seed.

Its good to see OMC back smacking the dummies with logic!

I hope OMC and his kids are fairing well.
