Anyone feeling sorry for poor OJ Simpson should google Nicole Brown Simpson or Ron Goldman crime scene photos and get a good look at what OJ did. Or google Nicole Brown Simpson or Ron Goldman autopsy report. You can feel bad for OJ if you want but I feel sorry for his victims and their families. They are deserving of our sympathy, OJ is not! JMO.
I don't think there is one person on these boards who feels sorry for OJ Simpson being in prison or suffering there from any beating, real or imagined. However, feeling sorry for this murderer is different from rubbing one's hands in glee and excitement at the thought of any human undergoing a sustained and horrific beating, nor matter who that human is, which is what people here are complaining about.
Listen, I fully understand the rage that the loved ones of a victim would feel towards a perp and their desire to beat that perp to death. And I will admit to satisfaction at the thought of criminals like scott peterson, OJ Simpson and casey anthony, etc, losing their freedom and living a life in which they cannot feel the mountain or ocean breezes, or run to the store for coffee, go out to dinner with a friend, pet a dog, etc. But to feel glee at the torture of such creatures would reduce me, IMO, to their same level of humanity. And I can't go there.
We have laws that provide for justice for horrible crimes and that punish the perps and take them out of society and we have, as a society, determined that cruel and unusual punishment is not on our agenda. We are not Iran or Saudi Arabia. Thus, while most of us applaud a just sentence and feel satisfaction at such, and most of us can understand the rage of the victim's families and can put ourselves in their shoes, many of us cannot understand wanting to watch a hanging (I couldn't watch Saddam Hussein be hanged even though he was a mass murderer), or to feel pleasure at the thought of the torture of a prisoner.
