I think it was very appropriate considering the circumstances of the crime for which he was actually convicted and his behavior as an inmate....

Yeah, kind of like first amendment issues for groups you DON'T like... What we want to happen, and what MUST happen are sometimes at odds...

Good analogy. We just went through that same situation you named here in Charlottesville several weeks ago....

He said something like "no one's ever accused me of being violent". (Go ahead, beat me up-that's not an exact quote.)

Bold face lie that no one questioned and he still got let out.

This thing has frustrated me since he murdered those people.

Being where I'm from and up until Jim Kelly he was the biggest celeb from our city, this was very big news. The OJ topic is a deeply rooted part of our culture.

I have very intense feelings about this.

The only redeeming factor is if he can generate some more income that the Goldman's can take from him.

Beyond that, I hope someone on the inside reciprocates before his release date.

he doesn't deserve the effort of a reply. I grew up where he committed his murder, and the entire culture of Los Angeles went into shock, and never changed. Now, if you give your wife a dirty look, she runs to the kind of completely dishonest lowlife lawyers he used.
I've played golf with him and he can't die soon enough.

I know exactly how to feel about it. I will keep my opinions to myself.

About 25 years ago i was a cafe his son was the cook at, he looked like OJ and was a little smaller, my thought of was he protecting his son and that is what screwed up the trail.

Don't imagine his dating calendar will be too congested.
