Because his acquittal was a travesty of American justice. He was clearly guilty but racial tensions got him acquitted. Also, his book deal he tried to do pretty much gets rid of any doubt we should have had.
That is the quote that may sink a racism lawsuit. The guy has apparently served OJ before, which would lead me to believe he doesn't have an issue with his race.
No, but they can refuse individuals.....if OJ sues all he has to do is get some of his African American clients to say... "We eat there all the time" I applaud him for kicking that killer out. DD
Is it a constitutional right for anyone to eat at any restaurant in the country? I thought a restaurant was a private business, much like a private residence. Do people have the constitutional right to come hang out in your house? Wasn't OJ convicted of manslaughter in civil court?
SO . . . we can treat any one we THINK is guilty of something differently. If you THINK . .or SUSPECT someone of something . . go ahead . .sh*t on them Hell . . I wonder if he would kick out Ivan Boeski? What about David Duke? R Kelly? Roman Polanski? Woody Allen? Rush Limbaugh? Rocket River
My bad. He was found liable for the wrongful death of Ronald Goldman. Yes, we can. And he IS liable for the wrongful death of someone per the civil court. To me, that means he's guilty. "sh*t on them"? There are worse things in life than not being allowed to eat at a steak joint....
If OJ wasn't properly attired or was being rowdy, I would have no problem kicking him out. The restaurant owner admits OJ was behaving himself. This reeks of a publicity stunt. The restaurant owner can now hire an attorney.
I don't know what the standard for finding someone liable for wrongful death is but whether he did it or not, IMO the criminal court is what counts. If you get into a car accident and kill someone, you may not be charged criminally (or you may be found not guilty) but the victim's family could still sue you for money. Are you a murderer?
If you ran a restaurant and someone who the vast majority of the population believes is a double murderer wanted to eat there, you're telling me you wouldn't refuse to serve him? The owner did nothing wrong. I'd love to see Orenthal attempt to sue the guy. How sympathetic do you think a jury's gonna be towards him? And if hell froze over and he did win some kind of settlement, wouldn't all that money go to the Goldmans and Browns?
My $0.02: 1) I don't think OJ will win any suit. I don't know what grounds he would sue on as I don't think it was racially motivated. 2) I think it's wrong to refuse service to someone for a flaky reason like "I don't like you." What did OJ do wrong that night (your thoughts on double murder aside)? I don't think being an "ass" as a human being counts.
I don't see how anyone could be complaining about the owner's actions. He has the right to not serve anyone. It's absurd to think of it as racially motivated -- I'd have a hard time not picturing another black guy in the restaurant at the time OJ was kicked out. The owner was upset at the way OJ had been tormenting the victims family, and rightfully so. I mean come on, "How I would have done it if I did do it"? That is sickening. I can't believe people actually side with OJ.
Just what we need...another frivolous lawsuit. I don't see a case here. If the owner serves other black people often, then how can he be denying service based on race? OJ's lawyer sounds like a real jackass. I guess he and OJ have that in common.
Bingo. The guys a scumbag, why let him dine in your restaurant? Not to mention a murderer who got let off the hook because he was a famous sports icon.
