Kharma will get you every time!!
Just heard the news that OJ Simpson was found guilty..........13 years to the day after he got away with two murders (my opinion). He is facing 15 years minimum to life for this latest crime.
I'll bet there is a lot of hugging going on in the Goldman house today. They didn't get the justice they wanted, but someone was looking out for them and took care of it in another way. Sometimes life has a way of correcting itself.
If nothing else, he should be arrested for stupidity........got off scott free 13 years ago, then pulled this latest stunt. I think I'll toast OJ tonight with a cold one.I'd ask you to join me OJ, but that's right, PRISONERS AREN'T ALLOWED TO DRINK!!!

Cheers!
We had our own version of Kharma locally. Our city building and planning dept.s had to lay off 12 workers because their permit sales is down 1.6 million.
In 2004 we started a barn/shop rebuild and a addition to our house, the city's junior planner actually took pleasure is busting our chops and delaying permits. She was rude, smug and codescending. At the time I was furious that she even had a job, at my expense and tax paying dollars.
A couple of weeks ago she was laid off. Unfortunately, the senior Building inspector(who wasn't the nicest guy either) comitted suicide this week after losing his job.
It's funny when public servants forget who is paying their check, and then are surprised when they lose thier jobs. A little friendliness would have generated more permits and thus more money, which would have insured their jobs!
I am very sorry about Cliff the inspector committing suicide.
Sorry for the hijack Don!
I agree that Kharma has a way of catching up with you, and it's about time OJ got his.I hope this sends a message to all those other law breakers who watched him get off scott free, and see that luck and money will only get you so far in life!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

You know Steve, there are several events that you never forget where you were and what you were doing when they happened. JFK's assassination is one, 9/11 is another, and the verdict being read in the OJ double murder trial is another. I remember all of us standing in shock at work, watching that verdict come down, unable to grasp how he got away with it.
Today kind of made up for that though.

There is an old saying that "we all are a victim of the life we lead". Most criminals eventually achieve their demise by the choices they continue to make.
My mom put it another way: When somebody did something mean to her, she didn't have to "get them", because they would eventually "get themself". :-)~

Well said.
I agree Don. Everyone in my family was glued to the tv during the trial. I felt that our justice system failed bigtime that day! Glad to see some justice is still left in this world!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Itoldyouso----You've got it backwards. He pulled this latest stunt BECAUSE he got away with murder, not in spite of it. The only bad thing about this latest crime is the fact that he was walking around loose and able to commit it, instead of locked up the last 13 years.

Finally!
Couldnt happen to a nicer guy!
My brother Dan was at a resort hotel months after the murder trial and who is out front getting into a limo sloshed beyond belief? OJ Living it up in Miami. I respected him too in sports and movies (Naked Guns a favorite) but he lost all that respect from me.Don Jr

On another chat group, one of the members pointed out that..
..."this is part of O.J.'s plan to find the 'real killer'....who is probably now behind bars for another crime."
Well, he's partly right! LMAOROF! :-)~

Unfortunately he "LA Four" who beat up Denny - including the one doing the "touchdown celebration" shown on television basically got by with a slap on the wrist. It was widely argued that the hung jury and not guilty verdicts were "payback" for the four cops who were tried for beating Rodney King.
Damian "Football" Williams, the "touchdown dancer," got 10 years. He served only four, but in 1993 was sentenced to 46 years for killing a drug dealer.
Antoine "Twan" Miller opened the door so Denney could be dragged out. He was shot to death in a Hollywood night club in 2004.
Gary Williams was convicted of one count of misdemeanor assault. Released - time served. Reportedly, he's a homeless crack addict.
Henry Keith "Kiki" Watson was convicted of one count of misdemeanor assault. Released - time served. He was the one standing on Denny's neck when Williams hit him with the concrete. He runs a Los Angeles limosine service
Karma for three of the four, I guess.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 10-04-2008 at 02:55 PM.

For sure it was a pay back for letting the police officers off. Man for 9 million I would have taken a beating like Rodney took, I've taking beating's for free!!!!!

you guys ever thought that this is just an elaborate plan to get in the underground of prison to find info and ties to the real killers?.............or maybe he's just an idiot.Seth

Don my wife was telling me that the new CEO of WAMU, who evidently was just on the job for a few weeks, will get a 16 million dollar golden handshake for all of his hard work. Maybe we should let him share some time with OJ. Some stuff is just too hard to digest!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Give it some more time.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
