| Denies OJ Simpson Service
Posted on 05/08/2007 5:17:38 PM PDT by ChildOfThe60s
Cincinnati restaurateur Jeff Ruby was at his restaurant in Louisville for Kentucky Derby weekend, when an employee approached him, apparently excited that O.J. Simpson was sitting down to dinner.
Ruby said he took another puff of his cigar and another sip of his drink and decided, "I don't want him here."
Ruby said he found Simpson in the Churchhill room of his "Jeff Ruby's Louisville" steakhouse and told Simpson, "I'm not serving you."
Ruby said he did it for the Goldman and Brown families, referring, of course, to the families of the people O.J. was accused of killing.
Simpson was found not guilty in the criminal trial, but liable in a civil trial.
After telling Simpson to leave, he said the former NFL football star was "classy" about it, rounded up his party and left.
Then, Ruby said, he went into the Churchill Room to be sure they were gone and people at other tables started standing. "They all got up and gave me a standing ovation, started applauding."
Ruby said it happened throughout the restaurant.
He added that the next day in the restaurant, "Nobody in Louisville was talking about who won the Derby, who lost, what happened to the favorite, or the Queen. They were just talking about 'O.J. got thrown out of the place.'"
Ruby's Louisville restaurant is the only one he owns outside of our Tri-state area. It's been open about a year.

Well, here we go again...institutionalized racism rears its ugly head. What do you want to bet if it was a white former NFL player who had killed two people with a knife and walked HE would have received service by this restaraunt owner/bigot?

One would think that he could sue...and win if his jury pool was comprised of brothas and sistahs.

I doubt that David Duke would get served there, either.

Get outta town with that BS.

Sheesh. It had nothing to do with the color of his skin. It was all about the color of his victims’ blood.

Sarcasm:
“and walked”
In all seriousness, the left would probably consider the owner to have committed a hate crime, but not OJ.

I thought a business had the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason?
To: Baladas

Jeff Ruby will no doubt get a call from Jessie Jackson threatening minority labor disruption in his restaurants unless, of course, an apology and a mega buck contribution to the ‘rainbow coalition’ isn’t forthcoming ... immediately. Yeah, Jesse can hold up the big guys like Budweiser and get beer distributorship's for his sons in the lucrative Chicago area. Jeff Ruby will tell him to stick it where the sun don’t shine ... none of which will ever be reported in the Gannet owned Cincinnati Enquirer ... Ruby’s hometown.

You are either trying, unsuccesfully, to be funny or you are an A##.
