Boxer Kassim Ouma was arrested on charges of murder after a barroom brawl left a patron dead from a broken neck. According to reports Ouma, who goes by Julius Opondo in Uganda, was in a Ugandan bar when the incident happened. Kassim didn’t want another patron to smoke near him, and the conversation led to a fight.

From The New Vision:

“Opondo asked him to go and smoke from outside, accusing him of polluting the air. But Okecho refused, insisting that it was his right to smoke. A row then ensued between the two.

“The enraged Opondo rose out of his seat, grabbed the victim’s head and twisted it.

“Okecho slumped off the bench and fell down. Opondo attempted to flee, but was arrested by revellers and handed over to Nagongera police post,” the witness narrated.

Kassim Ouma’s story from rags to riches is ruined if these reports are true. When Ouma was a child he was forced to fight in a war taking place in Uganda. He escaped that life, found boxing, and worked hard to become a professional fighter. It’s a shame that he might have thrown it all away over a cigarette.

If somebody was lucky enough to get away with a high profile double murder, you’d think they would want to avoid the spotlight by all means.. They wouldn’t write books about how the murders could have happened or do internet tv interviews. They wouldn’t always wind up in the news and the damn sure wouldn’t break the law.

Enter Orenthal James Simpson. He loves the spotlight. He has to. There’s no other way to explain how he’s always caught up in some shit. Simpson has had to talk to the police 7 times since he beat the murder charge. 7. I haven’t heard about Robert Blake so much as jaywalking.. Of course, Robert Blake’s not guilty decision wasn’t to White people what the Stoudemire/Diaw suspensions were to Suns fans, but still, all of the White anger in the country couldn’t have O.J. bumping into da Boys this much.

2000: Called 911 about his girlfriend that was supposedly high on cocaine. He also mentioned Pedro Guerrero and his drug case numerous times.

O.J. was allegedly kicked and slapped by a girlfriend at the Miami Wyndham hotel, but no charges were filed.

2001: O.J. was cleared of all charges stemming from an alleged road rage incident.

O.J.’s house was raided because he was stealing DirectTv. He ended up paying $58k in damages and lawyer fees.

2003: Simpson’s daughter Sydney called 911 about an “abuse thing”. No charges were filed.

2005: O.J. was at a neighbor’s house when the police are called to the scene about a fight. No charges are filed.

2007: O.J. faces two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm.

Let’s face it, O.J. needs to be locked up… So he can be protected from his damn self. At the pace he’s on, I could see “Suicide By Cop” in mid 2008.
