****** Cochran Dead At Age 67.......

[TheRhino]

Rhino,
My post about free throws posed a question to the board. If it was a statement of fact on my part, I would have backed it up w/ numbers. It was not a generalization as a whole, as anyone w/ have a brain could name numerous black players w/ awesome free throw percentages. Was it a question many have pondered? Of course, only too many are politically correct and would not answer. Several people did and gave their theories. As far as many others seeing that post as racist, who are they? Your accusations are false and meritless!

Judging by you and Ldawgs post, I can only assume that you are black and your view of the world is any opinion that is derogatory or negative to a black person is racist. Get your head out of the sand bro. People are people and should be judged on their own merits and characteristics. He's a piece of shit lawyer who helped a double murderer walk free and made millions doing it while laughin' in the face of society. The only people cryin' is his kin folk and some of them probably don't even like him. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes and dust to dust. Good ridence I say!

I'm white and that has nothing to do with it.

I guess I can honestly say it's never crossed my mind once that whites are better free throw shooters then blacks but maybe that's because I was a poor FT shooter in college. Maybe that's just me.

You sound like you know it all Hokie so I'll let you have the last word on this if you'd like.

ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS YOUR SOME WHITE GUY FROM DIXIE WHO IS USE TO NEGROES DOING THE TWO STEP SHUFFLE WHENEVER YOU ASK. ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO MAKE MINORITIES MIS-TRUST THE SYSTEM AND THE WAY THINGS WORK IN THIS COUNTRY. LIKE I SAID EARLIER IF BLACKS ARENT RUNNING, JUMPING, OR DANCING YOU HAVE NO USE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS. JOHN COCHRAN WAS CREDIT TO HIS PROFESSION AND RACE AND FOR YOU TO MAKE SOME IGNORANT ASS COMMENTS NOT ONLY MAKES YOU RACIST BUT STUPID. YOU ARE DEFINITELY A PIECE OF SHIT!

[HOKIE BIRD]

"He's doing his job", and that makes it all good? At what point do ya have the backbone to make a moral call and say this isn't right, I'm not taking the case? But No, he made the choice to take the case, defend him and help him walk the streets again. Bad call by a bad person who did nothing but profit from it. And for this, you guys think he deserves respect. He's a piece of shit. Exhibit A of why lawyers are regarded as low as whale shit and that's at the bottom of the ocean. Again, maybe the next person O.J. kills will be someone kin to you. Get your head out of the sand. I'm not a racist, I simply call it like it is. Sometimes the truth hurts. When ya got nothing else to say, play the race card. Bullshit! The only thing I can truly be accused of is being Homophobic. I hate them all. Other than that, I treat people for what they are and w/ the same respect they treat me!

Muscleman, You are right that Cochran was a credit to his profession. I can't speak for Hokie Bird, but my problem is not his color, it's the entire profession. Trial Lawyers in general are bloodsuckers who care more about the $500-1000/hr they make than the truth. This profession black or white will be first in line to represent a Hitler vs. the USA if the price was right.

Honestly I dont care what profession someone is....Money is the main goal to anyone why do you think we gamble...for money...i hate to say it but cochran was a smart man, any guy who can aquit a murder has brains. Thats their profession its not like a lawyer can go into a court room and say my person im defending is guilty would he make any money..no.

IMO
Dan

[HOKIE BIRD]

No one has to speak for me, period! I have no problem w/ his color, period! I don't care if he was Black, Purple, Orange, White, Pink, Yellow, Green, etc. The bottom line is, he was a piece of shit who made a name and millions for himself of the senseless deaths of two individuals and helped a double murderer walk free in the process. This fact seems to be lost on you guys. Get your head out of the sand!

IM NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO ARGUE WITH YOU ON THIS SUBJECT MATTER. STEVIE WONDER CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE AND IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE YOUR PURELY OBJECTIVE THATS FINE. YOUR LOCATION, YOUR RESPONSES SPEAK FOR THEMSELEVES. I BET YOU CRIED WHEN RONALD REGAN DIED AND DIDNT HAVE ANYTHING BUT POSITIVES TO SAY ABOUT HIM. YOU DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE MILLIONS HE DROVE TO POVERTY OR THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HE DISINFRANCHISED WITH HIS BULLSHIT POLITICS. BUT UNLIKE YOU WHEN HE PASSED I DIDNT USE A FORUM TO MOCK HIM BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I DISAGREED WITH HIS ACTIONS I HAD RESPECT FOR HIM AND THE DEAD. YOU JUSTIFY YOUR RESPONSES WITH THE LAWYER ANGLE AND THE OJ CRAP BUT YOU HAVE NO SOLID EVIDENCE THAT HE ACTUALLY DID IT. DO I BELEIVE HE DID ? OF COURSE I DO. BUT THE SAME CORRUPTED SYSTEMS THAT HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AFRICAN AMERICAN GUILTY (WHICH IM SURE YOU DIDNT CARE) LET HIS ASS GO. WAS I PISSED? YES I WAS BUT I WAS ALSO WHEN 5 PERCENT OF THE IMMATES ON DEATH ROW IN ILLINOIS WERE RELEASED BECAUSE THEY WERE INNOCENT. MY OPINION REMAINS THE SAME ;YOU SU(KKK)!!!!!!!!

[jordanrules23]

what was he supposed to do?? Lose the trial???

[flarendep1]

Dan, Do you like the sports betting services profession? Thier goal is to make money no matter how much they lie to try and fuck someone out of thier money! Of course Cochran was a smart man, but then again so are con men.

[HOKIE BIRD]

Dan, your missin' the fuckin' point. Besides that, your analogy is terrible. When we place a wager, no ones life is at stake! His very profession ensures him of a nice living, period! He sold himself and his soul out for mega bucks. Again, Exhibit A of why Lawyers are classified by the general public as being a necesarry evil and basically a piece of shit. If your sister, wife, brother, mother, father, etc. is murdered w/ undeniable evidence against the accused, would you have the same view of such a lawyer. I think not. The bad part for lawyers is that their are some, all be it probably very few, who would have done the right thing and refused the case.

We have a nice debate going on in here!!
The man died, give it a rest.

[HOKIE BIRD]

Nice. I don't want to argue the subject matter, but I will make gross generalazitions about you as a person based on where you live, etc. and at the same time accuse me of being racist and decry the black mans fate. Your post is horseshit and so are your misguided opinions. It's a good thing Condalice Rice didn't have your attitude or she would have never gotten as far as she has in life. By the way, she's doing a great job and may be the first woman to be President of the U.S.A. I forgot to say, I can't stand liberals and you obviously fall in this catagory. Go hug a tree and get some sleep.

i was tolerant of your ignorant gerrymanderings earlier in this thread; than, you had the nescient audacity to compare the low life thief (cochran) to one of our presidents. on behalf of all african americans -- GET OFF OUR SIDE you dolt!!!

[amhlilhaus]

trial lawyers are only doing their jobs. which is why they're suing the shit out of doctors and pretty soon the only ones able to afford quality, note the word 'quality' which means better than average will be very wealthy people only, like trial lawyers. don't believe me? look up what's happening to obstetricians in states like nevada.
