including the possibility of game postponements,

Yeah, so the NBA players can join in the riots.

Yeah, that “run ‘em over law” is way cool. No screwing around. The first duty of every government is to protect the law-abiding from the lawless.

I don’t know why that post made me laugh, but it did.
I do recall being lock-jaw SHOCKED at the verdict.
This was before The Mob-Jury was allowed to become more powerful than the Rule of Law when dealing with celebrities.

Regardless of the verdict, they will riot and burn. It has never been about racism and it never will be.
Look at what happens after the playoffs, particularly with the Bulls or the Bucks. Win or lose, they riot. Such a far cry from when the Mets won the World Series in 1969, everyone, White, Black, Brown, any conceivable race and ethnicity were celebrating in the streets yet for the most part behaved themselves.

“... the subsequent loss of 80% of their teams joining the rioting, burning and looting.” LOL. Except will they go full SJW and give up their tens of millions of income? How marxist are they? Are they really down for the “shrtuggle” as Rush used to say? That filthy founder of BLM (Cullors?) sure showed her true stripes.

I remember I had just finished school and was on my way home(On the bus) when I heard they had a verdict..so of course I rushed home..I kind of a had a feeling he would be acquitted, Garcetti(Like father, like son) coward down to the blacks and put the trial in Downtown LA, instead of near where the crime occurred(Santa Monica Courthouse) he would have most likely been convicted there but Garcetti had to bow down to the “Activists” who said that they would riot if OJ got convicted

Best to be wary. Best to carry.

Biden won’t know what day it is and Kamala will be smoking doobies and giggling like hell.

Can the prosecution ask for a mis-trial?

If he’s found guilty I’d say there’s about a 90% chance he’ll get a new trial after appeal, so can the prosecution perform a “preemptive strike” and wait for a new trial without giving the jury a chance to acquit?

NBA = Nobody Bothers Anymore.

Who cares what these folks think. When their leaders open their yaps, one can quickly determine they don’t know or care about facts.

Screw them.

We’re not supposed to intentionally run them down - just keep moving. If the rioters want to get out of the way that’s a better choice for everyone. Basically we just don’t stop for ‘em.

And when rioters are arrested they can’t be bailed out before seeing a judge... We’re not gonna have a lot of riots in Florida.

The NBA should just cancel the season. No more games.

How is that for being ready?

I predict a hung jury. The prosecution did not make its case and it only takes one juror.....

If they try to go through downtown Minneapolis, they very well may be.

This is true. Ever watch and see what happens after a pro team wins the championship in a thug city? You would think they would be happy and celebratory.

Nope. They still burn loot and murder.
