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

Posted May 11th 2007 2:52PM by TMZ Staff

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.

93. Omar your a certifiable moron. I dont care if the man is purple pink or green. Hes a damn murderer. Would you have him babysit your kids? Or how about date your daughter, even better? Keep the steak knifes away from him. I hope he is never left in peace again, just like his victims. And btw, hes there for his kids? The same kids who saw him beat the hell out of their mother? Those kids?

97. I think that everyone knows that OJ is guilty, including most blacks. They few
who support OJ are just trying to stir the pot.

I would lose my appetite if OJ walked into any restaurant where I was dining.
Good for Mr. Ruby for doing the right thing and protecting his customers.

Go to hell OJ nobody likes you.

100. 92. 89. I don't care for OJ Simpson one way or the other, but who do you people think you are condemning this man? And who does this restaurant owner, Ruby think he is?
"A haughty spirit goes before destruction and pride before the fall !" I guarantee whatever OJ Simpson did he did not get away with it. Which one of you "Judges" can cast the first stone? Sin is sin and there are no varying degrees.
Be careful how you judge another, you self righteous ones, for with the same measure you mete, it will be measured back to you again.
And by the way, do you know what tomorrow is going to bring to you....last time I checked only One knows and you ain't Him.
...and another thing "only" God and the killer knows who actually killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Everybody else is only assumimg do when they don't.
Who knows who Nicole was associated with and/or what she was really into?
Get over it!!!!!!
Get over it

And do not foirget that the bible warns us all about FALSE prophets! Look at Al, and Jesse.Always spewing hate and strife.Two of the most racists,biggoted,haters i have had the displeasure of seeing on TV! May God bring them down for their anti-sementic remarks.JEWS are GODS chosen people!

Dear Fake,
1. Believe it or not, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosover believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn the world; but that world through Him might be saved". God loves us all, even the ugly ones, which most are.
His "chosen" ones are those who believe and accept His Son Jesus's sacrifice of His life at calvary, who's trust is In Him and not in ourselves. He wants us all, but knows that all won't come.

2. Yes, the Jews are special to God. He honors the covenant He made with Abraham.
But they too, as all men, will have to come to God through Jesus alone.

3. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do not speak for God.
The day is fast approaching when everything is going to be laid bare.

..."Every idle word that men speak, they will give account of in the day of judgement.
For by your words you will be justfied and by your words you will be condemned".

YOU CHOSE FOR YOU, nobody else

101. Way to go Mr. Ruby! Any business can refuse service for any reason. This was not racially motivated, as I'm sure a check of his past and present customers would prove.

102. As a restaurant owner, Mr. Ruby has the right to deny service to anyone, black or white. Wht does everything have to be racial? O.J was held liable for murder. Get over it!

103. ~~~Maybe the restaurant is also changing the name of bloody mary to the victim's names. It's nice to know a murderer gets turned away sometimes,although what he really deserves is to be jailed for life without any entree choices. NICE TRY playing the race card.~~~

104. Way to go Mr. Rudy, hey HK$$ see what your future looks like, you got away with it too, but AMERICA knows best.

105. Did you notice that one of the bloggers who took OJ"s side on this page is Robert Blake.
Wonder if its THE Robert Blake. I am a former "chocolate city" Katrina refugee and will never go back---so tired of the race card--AS IF--let OJ and his narcissistic cavalier attitude, and fake-boobed arm charm to the drive-thru.
