Stop trying to produce common sense. Anyone can walk around with a gun, tout it around and show people, point it at people, threaten people, but if the trigger aint pulled, then there is no crime.

Matter of fact, on my Friday night, I am about to go get my grandpa's rifle and sit on the corner and point it at cars driving by, see if I just can't get myself in a little trouble.

steal their stuff while you are at it also.

Actually, dont rob anyone at gunpoint please. It has happened to me and its not very fun to be honest.

Never thought I'd ever hear someone stick of for OJ Simpson. He's as scum as it gets.

Well..in many states, and based on The Supreme Court...you're half right

I was being sarcastic. I am ok with concealed weapons, but people are saying that in this case, that OJ did nothing wrong or shouldn't be punished. HE POINTED A GUN AT SOMEONE and used it as force.

From everything I have read, all the sentencing has been within guidlines and has been 'normal' for this type of activity. I am guessing judges aren't stupid and this broad looked up past cases to see what they got, and made sure it was close, given the probablity that any harsher sentence an appeal for unfair trail or whatever they could cook up....

The Goldmans took a measure of credit for Simpson's fate, saying their relentless pursuit of his assets to satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful-death judgment "pushed him over the edge" and led him to commit the robbery to recover some of his sports memorabilia.

From the CNN article.

Come on Scavs...never said he did nothing wrong or shouldn't be punished...merely questioning the severity of the sentence...obviously it will be appealed and if within guidelines will be upheld. The issue to me is the glee that some express...

I am happy as hell man, OJ KILLED HIS WIFE and innoncent people. Karma got his ass big time. Ole boy thought he was higher then the rest of the world. It always does. that is why Karma and I have become friends and I do EVERYTHING not to piss it off.

I am not the smartest person in the world, but I for sure know that I shouldn't be walking into a room with a gun to steal something.

You understand that if he didn't bring the gun, he is probably not in jail now. Guns are NO JOKE, just ask Plex and the 3.5 years he will be serving

Scavs, you know I likewise believe in karma, I agree with your assessment of the crime, guns are a "big deal", saw first hand what they do in the Army...no problem with the conviction. Let's see what Plex gets, hopefully it will be just...IF he is convicted...right now he's still innocent under our laws.
My problem is you are stating a personal belief as a fact...yes, I agree with your belief but please call it that! If you want to live in a society with respect for the law, then the process is important...regardless whether one agrees with the results.

I know you are kidding but you can be arrested for making your hand into the shape of a gun and pointing it at someone. I believe they call it an assertive action.

Doesn't make it right but ****
