    Forgive O.J.?

    Ted bundy once said that he didn't know what the big deal was; that people should simply forgive and forget about it, it was all done adn over with so he couldn't understand what the entire fuss was all about.

    Seems he was unable to understand that it is always easy for the PREDATOR to state to the victims of the crime/abhorrent behavior, " hey it was in the past, it happened, now move on and get over it!" The victim or the recipient lost something in the interaction whereas the predator GAINED something- at the expense of another person. the predator never 'gets' it and usually points out " hey , you are too sensitive." and someone always comes to the defense of the predators.

    O.J. too can't understand what the entire hubbub is all about.
    I wonder if someone like Adolph Hitler were to suddenly appear and say " hey, it happened, just forgive and forget, and deal me in!" Like nothing happened in the past!

    do/did these people simply have no empathy at all? they may learn how to portray normal human emotions but they are not human.
    So, since Bush was compared to hitler-
    could you forgive and forget the following characters:
    hitler.
    Bundy.
    O.J. Simpson.
    the kid from EGG's post who ran over and killed some kid.
    .....

    would you even want to interact with any of these people? other than to try to figure out first hand what makes them tick?

    i left out the bush thing regarding forgiving Bush.. it didn't make sense and would have had the same thread going over here as over in that particular thread. so i mentioned it but didn't go back to edit out the bush reference as , well, it was a 'fascinating " comparison. ( i am not going to say interesting as i don't want EGGS to interject " you are superior, you are superior .. )

    can you forgive these sorts of people who do something terrible to a group of people and then just waltz back into the life of the people whose trust they betrayed or families they destroyed.

    the predators always have the luxury of just strolling back into their own life as if nothing happened. they truly don't understand how life has in fact changed for everyone else involved.

    it's like the brutish oaf of a husband who, after beating his wife the night before, wakes up the next day and can't understand why she is upset with him. or in his words is " bitchy" .

    or the backstabbing friend who can never understand why people ignore him or don't want to hang around anymore..

    he was found not guilty. never said innocent. every one of the nuts on the jury ( except for Anne ) said that there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

    and the funny thing is that i gave up orange juice after the verdict. it is weird but i cannot bring myself to buy it anymore. i also gave up vodka and orange juice. i can't drink oj anymore as i can't take oj. the way it goes .

    ALBOB, what if you just SAY that you understand that what you did is wrong, but you really don't understand at all but after hearing from everyone else, you realize that people expect it of you? This is what Bart simpson told his mom that he does. he doesn't mean it at all but it gets him off the hook. Then he jumps right back in , doing whatever it was that got him in trouble in the first place.

    thankfully hitler bundy are gone/ and oj, being not guilty doesn't have to say anything to anyone.

    the hardest part is figuring out the sincerity of the nutjob involved. I would NOT forgive anyone who ran over and killed anyone in my familty.

    fool me once,,,your fault.
    fool me twice........

    Whenever I see interviews of convicted killers or rapists or arsons or whatever, and they keep bawling about being a changed person I have to change the channel for the exact reason you just stated. I think they're playing to the crowd, looking for forgiveness. I think they'd say anything and everything they NEEDED to say just to get that forgiveness. They may be telling the God's honest truth but I can't bring myself to believe them or forgive them. Besides, whether they've changed or not doesn't change the fact that they DID IT. They commited the crime and now they have to pay the price.

    very good point Albob. sometimes i'll catch myself watching that sort of thing and almost feel like i'm agonozing over whether to believe them or not....then i realize - it doesn't matter.

    in the case of convicted criminals i think it's a great time to go with the "actions speak louder than words" theory.

    speaking of which - the movie Redemption on FX is damn good.

    oh yeah, i LOVE to hear from these sorts of people who tell me to "forget about what i did " or " get over it " as if what they did was just flicking some dog shit off their shoe. Which is how they treat everyone else in the world- just as something to step over in order to get what they want.

    Or, " Hey, it happened , can you forgive me? "

    When i see this on television, buddy suddenly becoming a born again christian or he/she appears in court clutching the bible, man, it makes me want to wretch!

    I wonder if anyone is taking notes? as in,. ok. apologize, go get bible, appear contrite, tell people to get over it. move on.

    there must be some sort of course in this as just about every nutjob psychopath does this.

    We're gooing throught this in Vegas right now. There was a young boy, 9, that was riding his bike across a cross-walk. About four cars had stopped to let him get across but this one young lady was is such a big hurry she just swerved around the other cars, went onto the shoulder and hit the boy. Obviously she didn't see him but the fact still remains, she made an illegal pass on the right hand shoulder and hit a boy in a cross walk. Now she's trying to blame the little boy because he was RIDING his bike in the cross-walk instead of walking it across the street.

    It amazes me when people will not just take responsibility for their actions. It is always someone else's fault. If someone went to jail for murder and actually did feel remorse, they should feel that they should stay there for what they did.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    i agrree: these same narcissistic psychos always want to come back to the scene of the crime and taunt and torment those people who were put upon. It's like they enjoy re-living their moment of crime and enjoy knowing that they are, once again, in control.
    it never occurs to these people to stay where they are. someone else caused this to happen to them.

    But, there are always those people who side with the criminals. And take up for them whenever they get a chance. Every evil person in recorded history had a stooge.

    I think in the case of criminals, our ability to forgive is most often impacted by whether we can still personally consider them to have any humanity left in them. People will always be humans, thats simply the form they are in... and if you were to cut off Hitlers head and tear his body apart, that would still be a human body. On the other hand, humanity is not something that is so firmly situated. I believe that this CAN be lost. My case for example would be the crimes that Hitler, or the Oklahoma bombers, etc committed. The crossed over the line and committed acts that you cannot commit and still retain your humanity. Once humanity is lost, then why forgive someone? Thats why most often people see no reason to forgive these characters.. it wouldnt be any different than forgiving any other animal. They are still humans in form, but humanity goes much deeper than that... its what binds us together and gives us a tie. Not that we look alike, but that we feel alike.

    So these people that have committed these acts... am I angry at them? No, not really, perhaps I should be. In my mind they are alot like a wild animal thats gone crazy and killed people, but much worse, because they have betrayed the bonds that tie us together and done the unthinkable of killing those that are part of their society.

    Anyways, I'm not sure if thats too cohesive a thought, I just started writing and ended up with that. So no, I wouldnt forgive those guys. I wouldnt hate them, but I'd be happy to slit their throats much like putting a rabid dog out of its misery.

    Oh, but on a side note... if it became more personal and immediete members of my family (or even my nation potentially) were killed I do have the capacity to hate them

    Seems to me that very reason would make you even MORE angry at them. A wild animal kills either for food or because it's territory has been invaded. These "animals" kill for socio-political reasons and should NOT be forgiven.

    Yeah, I meant to imply that Albob, but fell short... that they were worse than wild animals. I can and do get angry, but I dont stay angry at someone after they are dead for the most part... life is too short to keep all that pent up emotion in.

    But yeah, them having betrayed the trust of humanity does make them worse off.

    The criminal justice context also states
    "You're innocent until proven guilty" which
    DOES equate and implies innocence to not guilty.
