If you're not a news junkie, you probably didn't notice that Rodney King was arrested again. Even if you are a news junky, a R. King arrest can be overlooked due to the sheer regularity of the event.

Apparently, in addition to going to jail again, Rodney King is now broke. Perhaps he's now trying to make money (again) in the only way he knows how -- get high on PCP, break every traffic law imaginable, and hope for the best.

Of course, the same liberals have already forgotten the 58 people who are dead because of Rodney King and the criminals he and his supporters inspired. Oh, they haven't forgotten. But they shamelessly blame it all on the "white bread Simi Valley types."

I remember during the riots they showed Koreans defending their shops by firing warning shots at the looters. The looters all retreated of course but from both the tone of voice and the commentary the attitude seemed to be that these Koreans shouldn't be taking the law into their own hands.

I barely watched any tv commentary during the riots; I was too busy defending my house at the time. But what you described doesn't suprise me in the least. Leftists can't resist taking pot shots at gunowners. ...especially those willing to use those firearms to defend their loved ones and/or property.
However, I do remember seeing Reginald Denny get dragged out of his semi and beaten within an inch of his life.

Even worse, in some cases the LAPD disarmed many of those Korean Shopkeepers who were defending their property, and themselves from the heathen thugs looting their neighborhoods.
I know of one National Guardsman who's company was sent out to stand guard in a neighborhood shopping center without ammunition. They had empty magazines!
He told me he was never more frightened in his life then the time a car full of thugs pulled into the shopping center with their fully loaded firearms. His company was sweating profusely, yet the held their bluff, and the pukes left the area.
Needless to say, when his hitch was up he left the National Guard with a few pointed words. I can't say that I blame him.
Yes, I remember Rodney King, and he is definately a loser.

Yeah, and all the culprits except one were released. The one that was convicted got 4 years. He's now in court on murder charges. You'd be surprised at the number of people that I met afterwards who thought maybe we should riot and pelt black people in the heads with bricks. Of course, it's obvious that that never happened
To: Mark
David Horowitz is right - the key term is personal responsibility. Its anathema to the liberal culture. It feels much more comfortable if we're all content to be pliant victims. That's why they will never learn anything from Rodney King's failure to make something of himself and turn his life around. And that's why they dismiss the victims of their foolish and misguided attempt to make King the victim of an event he precipitated - by failing to follow the orders of the police officers who arrested him. We're stuck with the liberal culture that made him so central to its cult of victimhood and perpetual grievance and we'll be stuck with it for a good long time to come. C'est la meme, c'est la chose.

I remember during the riots they showed Koreans defending their shops by firing warning shots at the looters.And I also remember NRA's American Rifleman magazine showing photos of black business owners on the roof of their businesses with rifles and shotguns, exercising their RIGHT to defend themselves. Their businesses didn't burn to the ground, but scum-sucking liberals would probably like to jail them for defending themselves.
Sorry Rodney, I'd like to just call you a worthless human being, but that would indicate you did neither harm nor good. Therefore, you are a LESS than worthless human being. It's very appropriate that you are a liberal icon, because you are evil and stupid. The shoe fits.

Sorry I missed that. I know some posted signs indicating that they were black owned businesses, but was to no end, their businesses were looted and burned anyway.
What I found comical about the riots was that the majority of the looters were Hispanic. What was rather ironic was that large numbers of them were turned into the police when their neighbors (also Hispanic) saw them storing their loot in their apartments

If you're not a news junkie, you probably didn't notice that Rodney King was arrested again. He was speeding at 100 miles an hour, high on PCP, when he ran a red light in Rialto, Calif., on Aug. 27. It is just a matter of luck that King hasn't killed someone yet. This was his fifth arrest since a kangaroo court awarded him $3.8 million some years ago
Well, Good God...why on earth should he alter his behavioral patterns one single iota at this point, really?
We've already taught him that committing crimes and/or resisting lawful arrest can -- if only you make a mopey enough face afterwards, and slap the race card down onto the table skillfully enough -- lead to staggering personal wealth the likes of which most of us here will never live to see.
You keep rewarding a dog with red meat, after biting... and, sooner or later: it'll come to see everyone else around it as just so many hamburgers on the hoof.

I remember a rather infamous Ann Landers column from back then. A white girl wrote in that she and her boyfriend were caught up in the middle of the riot, saw people looting an appliance store, got caught up in the excitement, so they joined in and grabbed themselves a TV. She asked Ann, "Do you think we did anything wrong?" Yes, Martha, there are some really, really stupid people out there. Get used to it.

Denny was a fool. When you have 10 tons behind you and 400 foot-lbs of torque under the hood, you remain in the cab and put your foot on the excelerator.

So what did Rodney spend his money on? Okay he's a PCP fiend but you can't spent THAT much money on it.

He's been busted at least 10 times since the riots. Did the suckers give him a lifetime get out of jail free card besides the bucks? How in the hell do you go through 3.8 million?
