I agree with your take. Instead of taking the high road, of mourning his son, and moving on. He fixated on “getting OJ” instead of healing his grief and bring the family together. He was destroyed literally by his reaction to the murder. He was hurt emotionally by the murder, which you can get over with a little counselling and/or prayer. The HATE that burns forever, destroys your life and potentially your chance of life in the Peace of Christ.
I can’t imagine watching the murderer of my child get away with it and then not take the law into my own hands..
The father showed tremendous restraint in not avenging his sons murder with his own just us..
He is Jewish, IIRC.....
I pray he and his family find peace with what cannot be undone or changed.
Let’s see how you react if one of your children were murdered by a guy who then got off scot-free. Since the criminal justice system failed him the only other choice he had to get back at OJ for murdering his son was to go after OJ’s money. I can’t hardly blame him for that.
“He was hurt emotionally by the murder, which you can get over with a little counselling and/or prayer.”
How absurd.
Yeh, god forbid a family member of mine had something like that happen, but I’d probably only need a couple of sessions with a head doctor to move on. /sarc. Yours is a ridiculous post. Not sure why you and the other poster chose to focus on the father of the murder victim. Seems like you both have some questionable animosity toward him. When one has a child that dies, especially one in such a heinous manner, I give a wide berth for them to grieve and feel hatred for however long they need.
Just be thankful that you’ve (presumably) never had to deal with that yourself. You haven’t been in his shoes, so don’t judge him.
One does not “get over” the loss of a child. And in this particular case I give Goldman a pass. The fact he didn’t kill the lying cheating murderous SOB in the court room must have taken great restraint
May you never experience what he went through.
