O.J. Simpson thrown out of steakhouse

It most certainly IS discrimination, though not of a racial nature. I doubt the guy kicks ever celebrity out of his restaurant because of the attention they receive, only the one he feels that got away with murder.

However, these laws are 100% BS as far as I'm concerned anyway. The man should have the right to serve whom ever he does or does not wish to serve in his own establishment be it based on skin color, nationality, sex, religion, whatever. Under normal circumstance this type of activity would be harmful to a business by itself, not beneficial, therefore we don't need laws making it illegal....at least where private sector is concerned.

Discrimination is usually a good thing.

Lets not forget that a real jury in a real civil trial felt that way too. But the nail in OJ's coffin was the "If I did it" book deal which is practically a confession, so I might even include OJ himself as having those feelings....

The man should not even be walking the streets he is a murderer! Anyone should be allowed to ask him to leave for making the owners and customers uncomfortable. At least he did get up and leave quietly without calling on Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson!

What is more messed up is he was found innocent for the Criminal trial but found guilty for the Civil Trial............ go figure

The Juice will kill you every time. I am surprised someone has not taken him out from the Brown family and the Ron Goldman family.

his real trial has not yet happened and Johnny Cockroach will not be there for this one

Scarlett good to see you on the board

IANAL, however I think the criminal trial is based on the concept of "beyond a reasonable doubt" whereas the civil trial is based on the concept of "preponderance of the evidence". So I guess this was a case where there was a preponderance of the evidence but not so much so that it was not beyond a reasonable doubt. Dang I should have listened to my mother and become a lawyer.

LOL, I walk past Cochran's footprints in the River District all the time. Everytime I think "If the glove won't fit, you must acquit!"
