Wow, a real stand out figure for the 20th century. I will never forget his name, nor the horrific beating that he took thanks to la's finest. Wonder what it would take to get to riots today? I remember the entire country was all fucked up over the riots......thinking it was going to be the end of world. RIP Mr. King

watched a CNN special about him, they showed him splashing around in the pool. Official cause of death; drowning. Unofficial cause; being stupid drunk in the water.

There's a lot of stuff out there that's old, but still good. As you continue to age, young man, you might keep that in mind- before one of your elders beats it into ya with his cane!
Like LA PD to Rodney King?:eek:


Lots of bad stuff from that one incident.
Don't forget about Reginald Denny.
Reginald Denny, a white construction truck driver, was beaten nearly to death by a group of black assailants who came to be known as the "L.A. Four"

Him and Whitney need swimming lessons, or they should at least use floaties if they're going to drink / do crack and swim/bathe.

Sad.:(

Public Saftey Announcement

"Don't be whack, use floaties when you swim on crack."

King's Trouble with the Law Prior to His Beating
July 27, 1987: According to a complaint filed by his wife, King beat her while she was sleeping, then dragged her outside the house and beat her again. King was charged with battery and pleaded "no contest." He was placed on probation and ordered to obtain counseling. He never got the counseling.
November 3, 1989: King, brandishing a tire iron, ordered a convenience store clerk to empty the cash register. The clerk grabbed the tire iron, causing King to fall backwards and knock over a pie rack. King swung the rack at the clerk and fled the store with $200. King was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree robbery, and intent to commit great bodily injury. In a plea agreement, King pleaded guilty to the robbery charge and the other charges were dropped. He was sentenced to two years in prison, but was paroled on December 27, 1990.The Arrest of Rodney King on March 3, 1991
March 3, 1991: After being seen speeding on the 210 freeway by CHP officers, King led them on a chase at speeds estimated at up to 110 to 115 mph.

King and the prostitute were observed in an alley engaging in sexual activity. When the prostitute spotted the officers, King sped away, nearly hitting one of them. King later explained that he thought the vice officers were robbers trying to kill him. No charges were filed.

....darwin at work......seeing him get beat while high on pcp after a high speed car chase is no where near as moving as seeing some islmic radical slowly cut someones head off with a dull knife. We all knew that SOME cops were crooked before this, i doubt that someone in brazil gave two shits about some thug getting womped. Lotta people on here say thier libertarians with constitutional views, well this shit will happen, to be a libertarian youve got to believe that us as a society can improve and change whats wrong without government interaction laws or regulations......This caused the exact fucking opposite to happen, it proved nothing it solved nothing. It caused a billion dollars in damage to there own fucking neighborhoods, boy it was so fair for all those store owners, anyone not black living in that area. Who paid for all that to get fixed.......who paid rodney king his payout 4 million bucks he blew on drugs and an extravagant lifestyle. We did, I did, you did. You can never write legislation to protect freedoms without taking others away. If ya dont wanna get your ass beat buy a group of cops dont get into a high speed chase high on pcp then get out of the car scream and yell obscenitys and threats then lunge at one........wtf did he think was gunna happen. Im whiter than rice and even I would get the christ nailed into me if I did that. Their way to react over this was basically run threw the streets yelling fuck whitey while smashing and stealing and beating anything in sight?
