Rodney King -- the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots -- was found dead this morning. He was 47.
According to our sources, King's fiancée found him dead at the bottom of a pool.

Yep....he paid his debt.....RIP....

Technically not drugs, but alcohol. The mule wouldn’t have led the police on a high speed chase trying to avoid a DUI, or behaved bizarrely, or made the cops thinking it was reaching for a weapon. It’s a bad comparison.
If obama had a brother, he’d look like Rodney King.
Not to speak ill of the dead, but I'll take the bait. Had Rodney King not been on parole for armed robbery and driving drunk at 117 miles per hour, or when arrested had he simply obeyed a lawful order to lie on the ground, the "Rodney King Riots" would never have happened. The death of 53 people and over one billion dollars in damage would have been averted. And as a bonus, he also would have avoided that beat down.
Sounds like the typical death of a drug addict with access to a swimming pool.
Will Obama give him a state funeral, at least have him laid out in the US Capitol or will Obama say if he had any sons they would be just like Rodney? I’m sure Al Sharpton will want Rodney commemorated by a national holiday, a postage stamp and all flags at half staff.
“Would the mule be on the same drugs as Rodney?”
A drug mule perhaps?
Perhaps some similarities to the way Whitney Houston died?
I’m sorry you thought I was baiting anyone. You are mistaken.

Apparently a non-swimmer.. at least not a good drunk one..
IIRC years after the 1992 riots he admitted that he was being uncooperative that night and some of what he got was deserved.
I was gonna make a joke, but I’d rather just say RIP and hope he is at peace with the Lord.
With no disrespect towards Mr. King, I must wonder how long it will be before the left tries to pin his death on talk radio, right wing ‘hate speech’ and the Tea Party...

I fear they are a dying breed, ie...Teddy.
Bush’s fault.
*ouch* Touché!
