KY Restaurant Owner: O.J. Should Kill Lawsuit Plans

If O.J. Simpson tries to legally pursue the restaurant owner who banned him from his place, the Goldman family will have his back.

Kentucky restaurant owner Jeff Ruby was on "The Big Show With Steve Mason & John Ireland" on ESPN Radio last night, saying, "I got a phone call from the Goldman lawyers, and he's not going to be able to do this lawsuit anyway, because they've already taken preemptive action in case there is a claim." Ruby says any money Simpson might win would go to the Goldmans, who would then give it back to Ruby.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said earlier this week that he feels the banishment was racially motivated and had nothing to with ex-football star being accused of murder. Galanter, according to the AP, said he would pursue the matter further and might try to go after the restaurant's liquor license.

Ruby would then have to again decide whether he wanted to serve the juice.

199. OJ really just needs to go away and stay out of the public eye, if not because of the 'aquittal' then because of his attempt to publish the atrocity 'if i did it' book. and comment #14- shut your racist yap. if a non-black person wrote what YOU posted and inserted 'black' you would probably scream racism and pull out that race-card that is pulled out too often (OJ trial, anyone?) and dilutes opinion from when it should matter- when racism IS in the mix. 2007- and we still have racist losers spewing their hateful crap. lots of people can make me sick, #14, no matter what their race. racism goes a lot of different ways, and i know that PERSONALLY as my family is mixed.

200.
I salute the restaurant owner who told the murdering
O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant. O.J. is one of
the most despised people in this country. He was
allowed to get away with murder and should
have been made to pay the Goldman's what the
court mandated in the civil suit in which he was found
guilty in the murder of their beloved son. Nobody wants
to be in the presence of a person like O.J. Simpson,
especially when they are trying to enjoy a meal.

O.J. slaughtered two innocent people like they were pigs.
Too bad people have to breathe the same air as he does,
and I feel sorry for his children, who thanks to him, lost
their mother.

Also, people are tired of hearing the whining claims
of racial bias when that became a non-issue years
ago. O.J. mistakenly sees himself as a celebrity when
he is actually an object of contempt who refuses to take the
responsibililtyl for his own heinous actions.

201. O.J. was acquitted in a CRIMINAL court. However, he was CONVICTED in a CIVIL court of the murder of his ex-wife and Goldman.

202. Racially motivated my ass.... maybe some people just don't care to have people that have been accused of murder in their establishment.

203. I am thrilled that Mr. Ruby shut him down. OJ has been given way more than the average american would ever have gotten just because of who he is. If he can never go out and get a meal again that would be to soon. Racially motivated!?! This joker has been given more breaks because of his race than anyone in history. Keep looking for the real killer SLICK!!!

204. Come on Baby Love and Sarah. 99% of the american public are not fooled by this man for 1 second, and in the civil suit he was "judged guilty". I applaud Mr. Ruby for his action against OJ. By law he has the right to serve whomever he wants in HIS establishment. This is not racial as many black celebs and people are served there all the time. He is standing up for a principle he beleives in. As far as Mr. Goldman is concerned if my son or daughter was SLAUGHTERED as these two people were I would do everything in my power to make the murderers life as miserable as I could legally. I can't imagine living everyday with the knowledge that this scum murdered my son who was at NICOLES HOUSE INNOCENTLY. Read the transcript of the trial, the results were the biggest travesty of justice in a long time in this country. It made me physically ill when I heard the verdict.

205. he should have seated OJ as OJ had reservations and they took them so they may be suable after all... O J Is what he is but he was found innocent of murder and that is a fact..Oj will someday answer for his sins as we all will..This Ruby gtuy is just getting PR!

206. You people, including Mr. Ruby need to move on with your lives. Whether he did it or not, I don't know and don't care, and as tragic as it is for both the Brown family and Goldman family, if the victims were black, OJ wouldn't still be newsworthy. You people took this really hard. Mr. Ruby has every right to refuse him service, but he needs to get over it. Think about all of the bad people (you have no idea!!) If you were a business owner and had to serve all of these jerks, you may not have a business. Get on with your lives white people, move on!

207. I don't know why all you people are hating, as far as I am concerned the man OJ is innocent until proven guilty!!

208. "17. This is pure crap! OJ Simpson was found NOT GUILTY by his peers in a court of law. Jeff Ruby has no right to refuse Mr. Simpson from his restaurant. "

The owner of a PRIVATE business has the right to refuse to serve any damn body they please! I agree, Mr. Ruby for PRESIDENT!

NOW... if all the greedy golf clubs would start denying OJ time on their courses as Mr. Ruby has the balls to do, maybe he'd have.d to find some sort of WORK to pay off his judgement! (OK, wishful thinking!) I wish TMZ and all the other news agencies would stay on his ASS and seek justice for the Goldman's. Do not let this man have any peace! It is disgusting to see his face and see his name, but seeing him out all smiles on golf carts when he snubs his nose at the LAW and the JUDGEMENT he owes those people makes me want to vomit!

But then again, I do know that OJ faces an eterinity burning in H.E.L.L. for his actions here on earth, so I guess that's why he's going for all the gusto he can get now...

What a poor excuse for a human being, and disgrace as a father. It is shameful what he has put his own children through and continues to put them through. And what kind of woman dates such a "man?"

209. if simpson made a reservation or his party made a reservation they should have taken him. and the other people. i think the restaurant did them all a favor thou because in most restaurants the tables are too close everyone is sticking there butt in your plate. they are coughing staring and drunk. and the overweight waitress want too many tips. justine and sidney should be paid civilly though. they lost there mother and ron didnt have any dependants. i will make my own food and drink thank you.

210. To those of you who are complaining about the restaurant owner:
Haven't you ever read the sign at all restaurants that clearly states:
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE"

Good for Ruby! OJ you trying to play the race card again isn't going to work.
