| LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts. As are millions of others. "I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct." Simpson, an NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, was found innocent in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman but was found liable in a civil trial that followed. Ruby — who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. — said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said. So, who are these 12 sycophants who tried to dine with OJ? Wouldn't it be hilarious to follow some of them home and jump out of the bushes with a big knife as they reached their front door? "I didn't want that He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room. Maybe he should have let them stay and just played the Psycho shower music over the PA. Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave. Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license. Yep, it's about race, Yale; the human race. "He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did," Galanter said by telephone Tuesday night. Mr. Ruby might be a little better prepared than Nicole and Ron, you steaming pile of rat feces. Galanter is a 99 percenter, on the theory that 99 percent of lawyers give the other one percent a bad name. Ruby said the incident had to do with Simpson's past. "It was the first time since 1994 he has ever shown any class," Ruby said. "He showed it that night in the restaurant" by leaving quietly. Ruby said after Simpson left, people in the restaurant started applauding him. He said he has received about 100 positive e-mails since the incident. The walls of Ruby's restaurants are decorated with celebrity photos. A photo of Simpson and Ruby used to be on display, but Ruby said he took it down after the killings.

| #8 Bravo Jeff Ruby, he's is no rube and most likely recognized that he would be sued but stood for principle inspite of it. I'm sure we're gonna hear from all the usual race pimps, they'll be blowing extra hard over this thru the whole trial. |

| #7 what a soap opera that was. I'll never forget the part where all of the jurors were allowed to walk through OJ's house which exuded with riches and fresh flowers et all. I could just hear all the ooh's and aah's. Made me sick. |

| #5 Too bad more people do not demonstrate the moral rectitude that Ruby did. Simpson should find all the world's doors locked to him. I am still suprised that someone has not punched Simpson's ticket out of sheer disgust with his conduct. The "If I Did It" book farce was a slap to all law abiding people. Laughing out loud in law enforcement's face like that should entail excruciatingly painful consequences. |

| #4 Even better: The accusations of "racism" are gonna have to overcome Ruby's partnership with Bootsy Collins in opening a new restaurant. |

| #3 was found innocent in 1995 NO. He was found not guilty, BIG difference.This always hits a nerve, why do idiot editors still allow this most basic misunderstanding of the US legal system into publication??? You are found NOT GUILTY, not innocent. Jeez. |

| #2 Yay Jeff Ruby! Ruby's been a target of Cincinnati's race hustlers in the past. I suspect this will just start all that over again. |

| #1 It's going to have to go after Ruby in civil court. I thought it didn't have any money. And if it still does, why? |
