Maybe Hertz will film another commercial as the skinheads chase him around the prisonyard.
 
Sorry, but if you're cheering this particular beating, you're not cheering a murderer getting his comeuppance in the context of what happened, according to the story.

You're cheering a racist act.

From the story:

The 63-year-old has reportedly been a "marked man" in prison "ever since white supremacists overheard him brag about his sexual conquests of beautiful white women."
 
There is nothing cute or fun about U.S. prisons being the hellholes that they are. In fact, it is a national embarrassment and, quite honestly, damned near a human rights crisis.

Jeffrey Dahmer and OJ Simpson agree. So you have those two on your side.

If the law protects them, it will protect you, too. That's the point.

We're not a barbarian society. We have a system of criminal justice designed to carry out justice. Suspects are charged, tried, convicted, sentenced. We live with and accept the results because we are an advanced society.

Spare me, I hate skinheads and I hate racists. I also hate wife beating double murderers.
 
This isn't about O.J. Simpson getting his just comeuppance.

It is about a supposedly civilized society, with the most advanced criminal justice system in the world, that systematically allows this **** to go on in its prison system as an end-around the 8th Amendment (and the 14th, for that matter, if we want to talk about the racial component, not to O.J., but to the system as a whole).

It is an embarrassment.
 
Spare you what exactly? What did I say that is untrue?

They did not beat him up, according to the story, because of the murders. They beat him for bragging about bedding white women.

So the beating was a racist act.

And regardless of the anger over what OJ did, which I have as well, I just don't see how applauding this particular beating makes sense.

It is all those things, but I have no sympathy for OJ Simpson, none. So when a woman beating, double murderer(allegedly) gets what's coming to him, I like to think of it as karmic justice.
 
Many of these Animals have rendered themself unfit to be treated in Civilized Manner .
We should take page from French - they do not belive in rehab'ing crimminals.
 
Presuming OJ is not being held in a whites-only facility (or predominantly whites-only), and I somehow suspect he is not, the white supremacists will get theirs in due time.

Win-win.

Karmic justice would be a piano falling on his head. Not a prison beating because, well, we have a system that allows prison beatings to go on.

Not in this country.

Just because they're wrong doesn't mean we have to be wrong, too.
 
OK. So, if you're about karmic justice and cheering people you hate getting beatdowns, will you applaud some other murderer then beating up the skinheads for all their racial assaults?

Then cheer the person who beats up the person who beats them up?
Then the person who ...

Where does it end?
**** is right. We're supposed to be a civilized society.

That includes outrage and protest and questions of the system when murderers go free. But I don't see how it includes applauding racist assaults just because they happen to target the person you would like to see get beat up.

I don't know about that, I wonder if in those moments he was getting **** kicked he thought this is how all those woman must have felt that I beat the **** out of.

You're are 100% correct that this shouldn't be allowed to happen, but again, I feel 0 sympathy for Orenthal.
 
So just asking: A sourceless Enquirer story is now, um, news?
