Wow, are we sure this is true? He deserves worse, actually. ---

I know he killed two people and all and deserves his punishment, but I can’t help feeling more pity than anger for him at this point. No 63 year-old deserves being beaten unconscious by a group of young punk skinheads. ---

No 63 year-old deserves being beaten unconscious by a group of young punk skinheads. True - but OJ comes closer than most. Remember, he was also a wife-beater for years before he was a murderer. ---

There is a story that John Gotti paid the Aryan Brotherhood to make sure he did not get beat up while he was in prison.
