RE: "Every time someone cries wolf it makes it that much more difficult for those who are truly wronged."


True enough, but how does that make Cochran a dangerous man? Low moral values is not (in and of itself) a cause of danger to the safety and well-being of others.

And just what was so "dangerous" about those black people supporting O.J. during the trial? Maybe they just saw things a little differently than you and me, and I doubt a "guilty" verdict would have incited the same kind of violence seen during the Rodney King debacle.

BTW: I think O.J. was utterly guilty of the murders at hand, that Cochran was using underhanded (but time-tested and legal) tactics to defend his client from the charge, and that the LAPD was a corrupt and sometimes racist organization throughout much of the '80's/early 90's, as evidenced by the many, many scandals and similar charges that erupted against the LAPD half a decade ago (leading to much-needed changes in the system designed to ensure equal protection of all citizens under the law).

I'm not saying that the blacks supporting OJ were dangerous. I'm saying that any time a black person cries racism when it doesn't apply it weakens the claims when it truly does apply. Right or wrong, I find myself feeling more and more cynical whenever I hear the specter of racism raised and men such as Cochran contribute to this. I didn't wish him dead and I'm not glad that he is dead, but I think he did some damage to our society.p>
