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.

211. The other patrons in the restaurant standing up and applauding the owner says it all!
You're not liked Mr. Simpson! The majority of us don't want to be around you.
No more than I'd want to be around WHITE Jeffrey Daemer or WHITE Charles Manson

212. But OJ was found guilty by his peers in the civil trial. I think it is OJ himself writing the very very few positive comments on here.

213. People have had to endure this man for years and years. Enough is enough. I say well done Jeff Ruby. There should be more people like you in the world. As far as Yale Galanter, his attorney, he's nothing but a wanna be riding the coat tails of a man that will try to make money in any way he can. It's a shame the state of Florida can't do the same as Jeff Ruby did. I support you 110%. I see CAROL ARD is on this site with her legal expertise. Jeff Ruby doesn't need any PR, CAROL. This way a GREAT thing that happened.

215. Jeff Ruby should have done the world a favor by rigging a chair to nearest electrical outlet and sat him in it! Now that would have made electrifying headlines!!!

I guess this is the kind of treatment HK$ is in for if he ever returns!!! LOL

216. I'm sorry that the united states have come to this even though the idiot was found innocent he has been treated guilty only in America...What about The Familys of Nicole who gave oj the right to beat nicole as long as he was giving them money ...and then when she was killed they acted like they were in shock...And didnt any body tell ron goldman that she was being abused by oj...before he started hanging out with her...not saying that murder justifies his decisions,,just saying all us are grown people here,,we should start acting like it..i grant oj should give the goldman family there lawsuit money,,but as far as Nicole Family they should not get a dime,,,was anybody watching the trial when it came out her family let him beat her all the time and not only turned there head the other way cause oj was paying for there nice life style,,her dad let him come into there house when she was hiding and made her go home with him,,but to conyinue this mockery of justice by banning him from a resturant,,that guy just want publicity..people are self serving or havent you heard,,i see he jumped right up to the camera instead of saying that is the way i feel and i dont want to be bothered with interviews and such,,but everytime i look around there he is,,,blah blah blah

217. The restaurant owner is entitled to serve whoever he wants. If I owned a restaurant, and OJ "pay me to find out how I would have killed her" Simpson walked into my restaurant, I'd boot him too. Race has nothing to do with it; being a reprehensible scumbag who taunts the family of the people he killed does (remember, he was found to be responsible for the murders in the civil trial).

What's lost on this whole thing is that the restaurant patrons gave the owner an ovation when OJ left.

219. Some of the racist comments on this blog are nauseating and people wouldn’t write these things if the blog wasn’t anon. What in the world does it matter if someone is a different color? That goes for the white racist and the revolutionary "PA" - what an asshole. We should be united as Americans. If you are going to dislike people because of their color, why not look down on people because they’re too short or too pretty or too uneducated—what does any of this matter?

Because someone refuses to serve a revolting individual, who happens to be black, that does NOT make that person racist. Would people care if OJ was white?

I understand why someone who is black would see this issue as black and white (no pun intended), but for most whites, this is grey. Most people don’t care if OJ is black. I personally loved him and was happy to see him getting started in movies. I did not believe he committed the murders for a long time.

Just because OJ’s walking free, doesn’t mean he’s innocent—they had the DNA! He had a history of beating Nicole. He took flight. He wrote a horrid book about how he would have committed the murders. The list goes on. He got off because he’s the Juice, not because he’s innocent. It's racist to not care about the victims because they're white.

Good for Mr. Ruby.

Posted at 5:22PM on May 12th 2007 by OJ is a murderer

220. same here.
If i am not mistaken some of nicole brown simpsons family were caught DUI and got none of thepunishment Paris did.
Also, estranged from son ie goldman....makes me wonder.
Also suing then giving it back to the restrauntur is madening. Neither deserve the money. Oj has two college age kids so any of the money the courts restrict from pension hurts them. He has to pay them ie they are heirs of Nicole brown simpson estate. Goldman got enough money from this. He is being greedy.

NO, there are many others. The country club I belong to will not let him play golf here or attend any events. There are a large number of private clubs which have him banned.
