I’m sorry, but Ruby was practicing discrimination, pure and simple.
Change the players in this little drama and you can easily prove it to yourself. Simpson was convicted in a civil case not a criminal case.
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with the criminal decision, but it was in Kalifornia (wasn’t it), the same state in which a jury found Michael Jackson innocent on 12 or 13 different charges, involving child molestation, a couple of years ago.
“I’m sorry”
Dude slit his wife’s neck from ear to ear.
yeah, discriminated against an a- ho!
Simpson would have been acquitted in the criminal case even if he had confessed in the courtroom and there had been clear videotape of him committing the near-beheadings.
If I owned a restaurant,I'd deny service to (among others) either of the Clintons,either of the Kerrys,the entire Kennedy family,OJ,Michael Jackson and Peyton Manning.
As is, or should be, his right. If a smelly, poorly dressed man came in he could/would refuse him service. Well, metaphorically, OJ smelled pretty bad to him. And, based on the customer's responses, he was doing for their benefit also.
And why can't a person "discriminate"?
So? Not all 'discrimination' is bad. I'll tell you this, if I am in that restaurant and they were to serve that murderer, I would leave and tell them why I was leaving. Their choice, the murderer or me, one of is going. I bet I would not be alone as I left.
Wasn’t proven
Yes it was. He was found 'not guilty', he was not found 'innocent'. The man killed her, you cannot seriously believe otherwise. This was a 'jury nullification case by a racist jury, pure and simple.
Yep, discrimination, pure and simple.
AND PERFECTLY LEGAL!
And your point is.....?
Management can reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. They don't have to give a reason. The man's reason makes sense to me. Did OJ pay up on the civil judgments to the families of the victims? At the very least, the manager was within his rights to refuse service because he didn't want his business to be associated with such a low life. or to subject his patrons to OJ, or to continue to activate his gag reflex.
In its very definition, refusing service to someone IS and HAS TO 8E discriminatory. This is sometimes essential and not always negative in terms of its overall effect on society.
Merriam-Webster online
discrimination
1 a : the act of discriminating b : the process by which two stimuli differing in some aspect are responded to differently
2 : the quality or power of finely distinguishing
That's right. Mr. Ruby discriminates against murderers, especially ones who are rightly detested by millions of people. And don't start spouting again about how Simpson "wasn't convicted." Everybody, including the jury that let him off, knows Simpson murdered Ron and Nicole.
Don't think so! Private business. Where's the necessary involvment of the State. We all discriminate in one way or another. It's not illegal. But it is for the State. No State action, no discrimination.
Discrimination is an absolutely legal practice. "Racial Discrimination" is not. OJ was ejected for being a scumbag, which is a right that the owner openly states for all to see at the premise.
Discrimination is a human right, IMHO. When you get into motives it may lean one way or another, but everyone practices it in some form.
OJ got called out for being a scumbag, this time.
