According to our sources, King's fiancée found him dead at the bottom of a pool.

Not unlike Mary Jo Kopechne.
Are you saying this was murder?
Rodney King may have been a Democrat, but he inspired a whole line of weak-kneed apologetic Republicans. Many Rodney King Repubicans are still with us and making policy in high places. Any idea who they may be?
It’s still Whitey’s fault.
As I recall, Rodney King ran a tremendously dangerous high speed chase on the freeway, endangering the lives of many. I also believe he was high on PCP or Angel Dust or crack which led him to confront the cops with enormous physical strength. That portion of the tape was never shown on tv.
I, too, think he was pathetic in his “can’t we all get along?” moment. But he also caused enormous harm to others. I truly hope he rests in peace.
Better skip the funeral procession.
At age 47
If Barry had a brother ...
DNA ?

How about the acknowledgements? Who did you thank?
Check out the end - LoL!
I fear they are a dying breed, ie...Teddy.
You're mistaken. Teddy was a great swimmer but a lousy lifeguard. Apparently, he was a poor choice for a girl looking to be a mistress to a married man, as well.

RIP.
I used to feel exactly the same way, but after reading stories and seeing videos of police behavior over the course of the past 20 years, I have become nothing but sypathetic toward Rodney King in retrospect.

Al. Baby. I was there, in Inglewood; a white face in a world of blackness. I lived at 109th and Inglewood, and saw the National Guard come up from the South along Inglewood Blvd.
I had gone for an interview close to LAX and felt I should NOT wait for an interview an hour past my actual interview time. I RAN for the bus stop on the south side of Century (Centiennial?) Blvd.
As I walked in the door of my duplex, I turned on the TV, only to find that Reginald Denny had been beaten by blacks who didn’t like the fact that he was driving through the intersection of Normandy and Florence
I Got that beat give me a couple of minutes to find my story
That was my point, the good swimming drunks like teddy are a dying breed.
"Rodney King, the longtime drug abuser whose videotaped 1991 beating at the hands of Los Angeles police officers after a high-speed chase attracted international attention, has been found dead in a swimming pool at his home."
"King’s fiancé, Cynthia Kelley, reportedly told friends that he had been drinking all day Saturday, and at one point smoked marijuana. She said that she awoke around 2 a.m. to the sounds of a naked King beating on the glass."
"Kelley, a juror who helped decide King’s civil lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, said she then went to grab the phone when she heard a giant splash from the pool. Paramedics were called to the scene, but could not revive King."
No, from this article, it does not look like murder. Looks like he had a drunken/drugged out orgy and fell into his own pool. The drinking/drugged combo probably inhibited his swimming co-ordination and he quickly drowned.
Figures that the Daily Caller would get out the details the Lamestream media did not want out.
RIP Rodney. May you bask in the Heaven of Eternal Riot and Looting, where every shop has a broken window and take out is assumed..
