What the.... Is it just me or...

[nibblets]

...is O.J. Simpson a complete dirtbag?

Maybe because I believe he is guilty as sin, but when I read this I was disgusted. It makes me want to start cussing like a sailor.

June 3, 2004 — By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ten years after the double murder for which he was acquitted but left a virtual pariah, O.J. Simpson says in a television interview that he is angry at his slain ex-wife and hopes to star in a new TV reality show.

"There are times I am angry at her," the former football star said in comments Fox News Channel planned to air Thursday night from his recent interview with Greta Van Susteren, who covered Simpson's 1994-95 trial on charges of murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Excerpts of the interview, conducted in a Florida hotel, were released by the cable channel on Thursday.

"There are things that she could be doing with the kids better than I, you know? When, it's emotional stuff, especially with my daughter, I am angry with her," Simpson, 56, said of his former wife. "I am angry that she found herself hanging out with the group of -- who are these people?"

Acquitted of murder charges in the June 12, 1994 double slaying but later found liable for their deaths in a civil trial, Simpson has steadfastly maintained his innocence, insisting his ex-wife fell victim to a shadowy world of crime and drugs surrounding a group of friends she cultivated before her death.

Any opinions?

Grrr I think he is SUCH a liar....He should be the one talking...

What a dweeb

[QueenScoopalot]

Nope...he is a dirtbag! I can't believe he's still walking the streets and being so darn cocky about it. :mad: He should be in jail where he belongs.

[Corinna]

What can anyone say ?

[catnapper]

I think he's basically a moron. Hubby thinks he's covering up for his SON, who was the murderer. How hubby gets that the son did it is beyond me :rolleyes:

People will tune in to watch this show just because its OJ and they remember the trial.

[trayi52]

Can't stand him, couldn't stand him during the trails. I think he is guilty as sin!

Willie

[guster girl]

I never watched a minute of the trials, because I knew it would make me angry. No one but OJ really knows whether he did kill those two, but, I've never really liked him too much anyway. I did like "Hambone and Hillie", a really cute movie he had a small role in. His character was sweet to a dog (Hambone), so, he was cool then. He always struck me as uninteresting, though, even before all that stuff. If he did it, he'll pay. That's something I just don't worry about, people will pay for those things, in one way or the other.

[lizbud]

I wonder what O J would do if he announced a press meeting
and no one showed up. The media should just ignore the guy
like everyone else does. :rolleyes:

[trayi52]

Well, I watched the whole trial. Didn't miss a minute of it. I don't watch anything he stars in nor will I ever watch anything he starred in. He is a lousy actor period.

Willie

[guster girl]

Hambone and Hillie is a really cute movie, though. Especially if you love doggies! I think Patrick Duffy was in it, and, an older actress....can't remember her name. I wonder if anyone here has heard of it. I definitely agree that he's a lousy actor, but, he has a small part, and, it's not bad. :)

[gini]

Nibblets, please don't be offended by my reply - because it has nothing to do with you starting this thread..........


I wish that I would never have to hear his name again!

[Pam]

I will have to remain mute on the subject because this is a family board, even in the Dog House. :mad:

[moosmom]

is O.J. Simpson a complete dirtbag?

No argument there!! He IS a dirtbag. He's as guilty as sin and he and everyone else knows it!!

He's also a greedy 6astard who is looking to make money any way he can, even if it does mean exploiting his ex-wife's memory.

Don't get me going here. I missed WEEKS of soaps because of his sorry @ss!!!

Judgement day will come for him. Unfortunately, it's not soon enough!!!

Donna, I've been meaning to talk to you about this...sweetie...you really need to learn how to express yourself and not hold back. Let us know how you REALLY feel!:eek: :D

My mom was saying the same things! LOL

I really don't like the man at all. There was something too cocky about him from the beginning - before Nicole's murder. He's one of those people that make you feel dirty just to think of them.

[leslie flenner]

he is terribly stupid. His interview last night... he made himself look very bad... We don't commemorate nicole's death. I don't commemorate my mother's or my father's deaths but we do commemorate my mother's and my father's birthdays. (period, end of answer- Hello! does he not see what a cold asshole he is looking like?) I wonder what his kids think. they'll not say anything until he's dead.
He insists that he's not paying the civil suit money. He insists the Goldman's just want his money (then "yuck, yuck"). He laughed, giggled, and chuckeled all the way through the entire inteview. He avoided, lied, skirted, you name it-- he is a very good con.
Re: Nicole's diaries- "Well, ya know there were rumours, I never saw any diaries, those were rumours..."

[NoahsMommy]

People like OJ make me glad I believe in God....

[davidpizzica]

That man(a term I use loosely) shuold be rotting in jail right now!! He hired a bunch of shyster lawyers to help him literally get away with murder. His sorry butt shouldn't be walking the streets free. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Cataholic]

**puts up her protective armour**

I don't believe he was guilty. Not according to the US system of justice, and a jury of his peers...they apparently felt the government didn't meet the burden of proof on the murder charge. To second guess them is insulting to them, what they went through, the loss of time they were away from their families, the attorneys that tried the case, the judge...

He is still left with trying to be a father, and raise his kids. I don't envy the position any of them are in. To go through what they did, and still be labeled as 'scum'. He has been adjudicated not guilty. I think he is entitled to some semblance of normalcy.

I don't mean that I am some how happy about his former wife's death, or that of her 'friend'. It is his life, and the life of his kids that we are talking about.

I don't really know what he is like as an actor. Shoot, I don't even know what he was like as a football player! Our lives never seemed to intertwine much.

[IttyBittyKitty]

Dirtbag. I am angry at HIM for boring the absolute crap out of me, I got so sick of hearing about that stupid trial on the news and I live in Australia!

Yawn!

If he's on a Reality TV show, I will be switchin' the teev off for that one!

[carole]

I am with the majority on this one too, yep I believe he is guilty too, slimeball that he is, I sure hope he gets what he deserves oneday and soon.!!!!

[dukedogsmom]

No comment, or I'd be writing a novel.

[tatsxxx11]

If there's one thing on this earth I'm sure of, it's that OJ Simpson murdered Nicole and Ron and I was one who had truly admired this man and started out totally believing in his innocence. And I DID watch every minute of that trial, live or taped. I accept the fact that he was found "not guilty" by a jury of his peers, although I find it disingenuous to say that they came to this decision without bias, having deliberated for less than 4 hours for a trial that lasted almost 9 months, with volumes of scientific evidence to consider. . And "not guilty" does not mean that they found him innocent; a big difference. AND, in the civil trial, during which he was compelled to testify, he was found liable of both their deaths. The Browns and Goldman's were awarded a 30 million dollar monetary judgement of which they have yet to see one dime. To watch him today on TV turns my stomach, how he continues to place blame on Nicole and villify her. What a classy guy, re-enacting the "beheading" of Nicole for a recent interview, using a banana for the knife, screeching the shower scene "music" from the movie Psycho...Guess we'll never find out who the "real killers" are. Maybe they're holed up with the "real killers" of Laci Peterson?

[trayi52]

Sandra, I agree with you on this. I am still wondering when he is going to start his hunt for her "real killers", as he so promised he would do.

Willie

[tatsxxx11]

Willie, on TV the other night, he told the interviewer he can't hunt for the real killers because he's "run out of money." :rolleyes:

[trayi52]

I didn't see that, Sandra. Poor thing, should we take up donations for him?:rolleyes:

I try to not watch anything with him in it. I really have enough problems with my stomack!

Willie:D

[Logan]

I am not up for an argument at this time, so I deleted my post.

[Pam]

Sandra and Willie, I say a hearty AMEN to your posts. My first inclination was to debate Cataholic but I will not go further. This is a dead issue. I think 99.9% of the country is in agreement on this. The jurors played the race card pure and simple. God is the ultimate judge and from what I can see about OJ's remorse (none!) he will wind up in a very warm place eternally. :rolleyes:

Willie:D Sandra & Willie, The scunbag is not worth it. Why hunt for the "real" killers when I know he did it. Willie, he makes me want to upchuck, too!

[RICHARD]

Not wanting to stir up the pot.....I just have a different view of the 'proceedings' and the fall out from this case.

No one deserves to be killed in that fashion. Period. That said.....

One of the people that I absolutely cannot stand is Denise Brown.

This is going to be an unpopular opinion..but...

On Sunday night DB came out and LIED thru her teeth..I have no repect for her and find that all her testimony, tears and the foundation she shills for to be a pile of horse puckey.

To this day she maintains that she never saw OJ 'hit' her sister.

http://simpson.walraven.org/db_depo1.html

Reading thru this deposition you'll find that she was a witness to an incident where OJ pushed Nicole to the ground and she was the person who took the photos of the bruises that her sister suffered at his hands.

She also testified to an instance where Nicole, OJ and her were at a bar. There was a fight and OJ pushed Nicole against the wall, grabbed her crotch and said something like, "this is where my babies come from.."

Had it been my sister, things would have been different.

While she may not have been a witness to the actual beatings, her knowledge of the results probably has haunted her for her inaction...She had seen some violence, heard about other instances and witnessed the results of a beating...

I may be wrong but I never heard DB tell her sister that this guy was wrong for beating on her.
She kept her mouth shut and her sister got killed-and IF SHE HAD told Nicole and she disregarded those warnings could it be possible that tings would have turned out differently?

----------------------------

I know that domestic violence is not acceptable in any situation.

I had a conversation with a woman where I questioned the reasons that Nicole stayed around Lost Angeles and OJ. This woman told me that she was in an abusive relationship and had no money, alternatives or family to depend on.

Nicole had money and there were two homes she could have moved to-one in San Francisco and the other on the East Coast.

You'll read in the depostion that DB had heard that OJ "would kill Nicole".

I'd like to think that some people, after getting beat upon, spied upon and yelled at would learn that the best place to be would be far away from someone who repeatedly abused them.

Denise Brown is a phoney and she tries to get public support as a way to absolve her conscience.

If you stop and think about it, could a few sisterly words and some common sense prevented a double slaughter on the streets of Lost Angeles that night?

We'll never know....

I respectfully disagree. Our justice system, like any system designed for and by people, has flaws.

Case in point - just look at the heinous murders committed by members of the KKK. Some got caught, went to trial, and the jury of their all-white peers found them to be "not-guilty".

True, but, that is our system of justice. Flaws and all. I am simply stating what our system is...and it is a system I buy into, believe in, subscribe to, and work in. To say, "well, our system works, but, not in the OJ case.." is like saying, "well, I always tell the truth, but, not when I lie..." I don't believe you can disclaim a particular part of the system, but, still find it credible most of the other time. I don't know who said this, though I should, but, "it is better to let one guilty man go free than to imprison the innocent". I think that is apropos.

[RICHARD]

It really wasn't the system that failed,
It was the people who thought they were doing a good job..

From the detectives to good old Lance Ito. The evidence was there. It was the interpretation that left quite a bit to be desired.

If you can't 'win' a case like that one, you have to go back and look at what went wrong.

Blame it on Marcia Clark's hair.

Ding ding ding, and we have a winner!!!

Ok...I tried desperately to NOT pay attention to that trial. There are women murdered by abusive husbands/boyfriends all over this country and the media never bats a friggen eye. It makes me angry that this trial was given any more attention than any other trail. The justice system should be fair and equal right? Unfortuneatly it isn't, it has been proven that the rich can buy thier way out of just about any punishment for just about any crime.
If it were just some poor guy on trail for murdering his wife and he had THAT much evidence against him he would have been up the river in a heartbeat.

I did have a interest in the trial for the gal that ran over her husband in the parking lot of a hotel with her Mercedes...He was leaving the hotel after a little tryst, walked outside and the wife lost it. The whole thing was caught on tape....

I was waiting for the District Attorney to file charges against her for violating the warranty on the cars tires...

Apparently a cheating husband doesn't qualify as a
"roadside hazard"..

No, that would be practicing medicine without a license.....while still a tort, it isn't a crime.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Some women like that I guess...
