His presence very well could disrupt the normal atmosphere in the restaurant and the owner I feel was within his rights . Was is sad is the Simpson attorney threatens to pull out the race card right off the bat . He mentioned he previously had a picture up of he and Simpson together prior to the murders so I feel it's a blight on people of any race when that is used as a reason inappropriately. I would have thrown him out also .

The restaurant owner's actions say everything about who he is and nothing about OJ. The owner believes OJ is guilty and acts on that belief. To him, truth is irrelevant. I don't know if OJ did or did not do it because I was not there. He was found "Not guilty" which is not the same as being innocent. The reality is he may be innocent. Or he may be guilty. Either way what I see is the virulence that has been unleashed against him as if they were hurting him and not themselves. If he did it, he can't escape the consequences. And if he didn't his crown glows brighter every day.

I myself believe O.J. did kill his x-wife, and Ron Goldman. I believe that the restaurant owner has the right to serve/not serve anyone he chooses. I think it's terrible what O.J. thinks he has gotten away with. If Charles Manson was walking around free, and came in to my health club, I wouldn't let him in the locker room! It isn't about race!! Are we so blind that we can't see he is a murderer! He nearly cut Nichole's head off! I followed that case, every day...and much after. There were photos that the police didn't show, of O.J.'s house. In one photo there was a box balanced on the bathtub, it was a Swiss army knife box. He told police he didn't own any knives! I'm a nurse. I can not put on gloves over the top of my hospital gloves. I also ride motorcycles. When my leather gloves got wet, they shrank! (Like soaking them in blood, would do!) I couldn't put on shrunken leather gloves over hospital gloves! Especially if I didn't want them to fit!

The owner overreacted, and some of his comments in the media have been pathetic.



I don't like OJ Simpson, but he was tried and found innocent.

the guy was found not guilty. I think it's time for people to move on. I suppose the guy had the right to refuse service to anyone, but I think its BS; either this is friggin America, where people get a trial and we go along with the jury, or we don't. It shouldn't be that what the jury says goes only if everyone agrees. I think it's sad.

at least he was "asked" to leave unlike the common courtesy the dickholes at Y!A seem unable to convey

the owner overreacted... he was just scared and nervous ... he should have been arrested for discrimination.
