I don't think that's the problem. It's the PCP he is snorting that is detuning his carburator.

Spots won't change no matter how the media tries to wash them off. This convict has had about 5 serious arrests since his "baton party". Me thinks he has run through the cash and is trawling for more......

Y'all are simply rotten!! I'm dissapointed that nobody more understanding and sensitive about this situation .
It's obvious to anyone this incident [as well as the others], are the cry for help he was not given the opportunity to express while surviving the 'traumatic childhood' he lived as a minority male as well as the fact that generations ago, his relatives may have either known, associated with, or been slaves.

I guess this pretty much proves the cops were right about his being on PCP the other time too, doesn't it?

King, 39, of Rialto, was under the influence of PCP when he drove through a Rialto intersection at more than 100 mph, lost control of his sport utility vehicle and slammed into a power pole, Sgt. Paul Wing said. These are misdemenors?

If I came into obscene wealth, I'd always live humbly. I wouldn't let my fortune get to my head since I know my values.Yeah, that sounds like something PCP Rodney would say or do.
To: aristeides
Don't forget that Sgt. Stacy Koon testified at trial that King exhibited all of the symptoms of someone under the influence of PCP. Since he was not specifically tested for it, it can never be known. I believe that he was, which contributed significantly to the difficulties with subduing him. As a cop for 25 years, I have a great deal of first hand experience with "subduing" jailhouse bodied, pumped up 250 lb. PCP resistant suspects who resist arrest.

So sad when someone throws away so many chances to do something useful with his life.
I had a college friend, brilliant guy, who turned to heroin and self-destructed.
Just plain sad. Until they hit their bottom, they will almost always go back to their vices, rejecting any help.

King, 39 Wow, I always figured he was 40+, the first time he got taken down and beaten. That PCP must really put the years on you.

I lived in Rialto fifteen years ago. At that time, I was advised to move by the police who said they could not keep up with the growing crime rate there. It must be a ghetto by now.
