Re: Simpson Guilty All Charges

You're tempted to say couldn't happen to a nicer guy, but I never really believed he did it. Still, this is the pure height of stupidity on his part. Did they say what he'll get?

Sentencing is set for December 5. 12 felony counts, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Re: Simpson Guilty All Charges

Too bad the death penalty isn't a legal choice for kidnapping and armed robbery.....it would be fitting in this case.

Re: Simpson Guilty All Charges

May his prison sentence be unpleasant...may his fellow prisoners seek to avenge his ex-wife.
Afterward...he can burn in hell.

Re: Simpson Guilty All Charges

well, the appeals etc etc will go forward, but aside from the old race card and being predisposed to find him guilty as to having bias already held as to the jury, I would think it would be hard to find anyone in this country who doesn’t remember his previous trial etc etc...there’s just so much justice to be found..

Karma is a bitch aint it?

Re: Simpson Guilty All Charges

Granted, I wasn't at the trial and didn't hear what the jury heard, but from my understanding O.J. was simply reposessing his own property. I would hardly call that armed robbery or kidnapping.

After all if O.J. wanted an autographed football all he would have to do is just buy a football and sign the damn thing.

I seriously doubt that O.J. got a fair trial from an impartial jury. He would probably have to go to some remote corner of the world like the Amazon jungle or the Gobi desert to find an impartial jury.

I bet you were giving him black power fist after his first trial where he got away with murder.

You bet wrong. The raised fist symbol, or what you call a "black power fist" is a symbol of communist revolution.

I'm sure most of the regular posters here know what I think about whako leftist communist scum.

And no, I don't agree with you that he got away with murder. I think corrupt elements in the LAPD tried to railroad him. This is evidenced by the fact that the only one that was rightfully convicted of a crime in that case was Mark Fuhrman, the star witness for the prosecution. Hmmm. Since I am not a cop, if I blatantly committed perjury in a murder trial do you think I would get off with a token fine and probation? Or would I have been thrown in the slammer?

It would certainly be in line with our other ridiculous punishment/crime combos, such as imprisonment for possessing drugs.

Are you actually saying that the Black Panthers and their Ten Point Program of the 60's were scum?

Quote:
The Ten Point Program

1. We want power to determine the destiny of our black and oppressed communities' education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
2. We want completely free health care for all black and oppressed people.
3. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.
4. We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.
5. We want full employment for our people.
6. We want an end to the robbery by the capitalists of our Black Community.
7. We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
8. We want decent education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society.
9. We want freedom for all black and oppressed people now held in U. S. Federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace and people's community control of modern technology.

Oh, believe me, I agree that there was a LOT wrong with the Black Panthers...it's amazing though how many blacks joined them though. I do remember seeing the "salute" when I was a child but I couldn't tell you if the people using it were BP members or not though.
