Did anyone else find Jimmy kimmels joke about Johnnie Cochran really tasteless?
The guy who played Cochran in "the people vs. OJ Simpson" won an Emmy, to which Kimmel quipped "I have to believe Johnnie Cochran is smiling up at us tonight." Implying he's burning in hell for defending OJ.
It's a bit fucked up to announce that you think a real dead person with a family is currently burning in hell, because he defended OJ, and to base this entire assumption on a dramatised television series is a bit sick, to me at least.
Thoughts?
Jaxson Ramirez
Fuck off, it was funny
Isaiah Bailey
OJ Simpson murdered two people. Cochran and OJ's lawyers played off the biases of a garbage jury and played the race card to get a murderer off the hook.
Yes if there's a hell Cochran most certainly deserves a place there.
Carter Adams
i'd make a shitpost or something to bait people but actually I don't think anyone cares dude
Adrian Moore
your bait is solid, if overreaching
Brayden Fisher
No niggers in white heaven.
Kevin Harris
'lawyer' must be the only title where people hate you more the better you are at your job
James Ross
kimmel was p funny for him
Julian Smith
>believing in hell
I hate what religion does to the mind. Tell me to tip my fedora and feel euphoric on le reddit, idgaf. It's so retarded.
Xavier Long
No Cochran was racist piece of shit that deserved to die
Brody Cruz
He's a good lawyer but not a good person.
A good person who also happens to be a good lawyer would have told OJ to plea guilty.
Austin Smith
No it was funny. Glad Jimmy had some balls.
Alexander Peterson
He was literally doing his job
Luke Campbell
>lawyers are evil You usually only hear this by moronic 18year olds.
Jacob Murphy
I didn't find that joke tasteless, the one he made after the dead actors memorial, where he said it'll be hard to top that next year. In reference to how many actors died this year, was a bit fucked up, desu.
Andrew Long
Then he would have been a bad lawyer, giving someone counsel that leads to a bad outcome based on what he personally thinks. Lawyers are not supposed to be playing jury.
Connor Murphy
Yes.
Daniel Ross
no, the police completely disregarded nearly every standard rule of evidence, showed themselves to employ violent racists, and ruined any chance of a conviction even if he did do it.
you can say what you want but if there's anyone to blame it's the police and DA for fucking up, not some defense lawyer doing his job well
Nolan Young
>A good person who also happens to be a good lawyer would have told OJ to plea guilty. A good person would undermine the entire adversarial system of justice based on their own assumptions?
Matthew Smith
it was great and most people who believe in some version of hell already hate lawyers. Take your shill thread and get fucked.
Josiah Taylor
What are you talking about? I've only ever heard it from old men.
Liam Hernandez
No one cared when The Book of Mormon did it.
Daniel Parker
You type like a nigger, so...
Christopher Gonzalez
go and watch the ESPN OJ Simpson documentary, one of the jurors admits that she, and many others only voted not guilty because of the Rodney king beating
Gabriel Butler
I quoted the wrong person. I don't even know who I ment to quote
Carter Jenkins
I couldn't give less of a shit
Christopher Reed
Fuck off nigger. Nobody on here gives a shit if a joke was tasteless or not.
James Foster
how do I type like a nigger?
Benjamin James
>"Fuck off cunt, do you even know where you are? This is Cred Forums, bitch, the coldest place on the Internet, where only the toughest 16 year olds like me are edgy enough to survive. I know you probably came from your le Reddit shithole, but if you want to be one of us, you Gotta wise up, kid, if you want to join the ranks of true 4channers like me, nothing can be too edgy for you. Listen up kid, that might save your life someday. This is a cold place, and if you don't harden up quickly, you'll get thrown to the fucking dogs. Make no mistake, if you feel something is tasteless, that doesn't go down well with the boys here, keep that shit to yourself unless you want another 16 year old to call you a cuck? So, kid? You think you got what it takes to post on Cred Forums? Or is Reddit lookin' pretty cosy to you right now? Are you with the chan, or against us? You can only be one, and God help you if you're the other."
FTFY
Isaiah Hill
people have thought oj was guility since it happened, and believe me, cochran knew he was guilty
Adrian Perry
>believe me
And how do I know I could trust you?
Justin Smith
>just following orders boss xD
Why don't you ask the SS how that went?
Julian Peterson
>Invoking Godwin's law.
Colton Ross

>redditor's law Not an argument
Joshua Lee
>Waaah, what about his family? What about Nicole Brown's family? What about Ron Goldman's family? Why should we give a fuck about Cochrane when he was a scumbag?
Nolan Jones
Comparing lawyers to the SS, good job champ
Adrian Richardson
>Taking simple analogies literally Was it autism?
Bentley Moore
Defense lawyers are almost inherently morally bad people. They pick the position within their field of expertise that yields the highest monetary reward for the lowest moral standards. T. Clinton voter.
Joshua Howard
>A good person who also happens to be a good lawyer
Those two things cancel each other out.
Ian Bailey
Are you calling yourself a Clinton voter? Because you're just arguing about feelings and have no idea how to format a reply.
