hey korean shopowners... got yer AR's?

"The LA riots were not caused by the Rodney King decision... the LA riots were caused by rioters."

[Brian S]

Yep 7 of guilty, 5 not guilty on the deadlocked assault charge...

CNN in Inglewood asking about the verdict..

[Brian S]

There was a small outburst in the courtroom...

[blau993]

Sounds like it's time to upgrade the TV and the Stereo.

Let the riots begin.

Luckily here in AR, we have lots of people like me with Title 2 firearms that would not put up with a riot beyond the first 100-round belt of .30-6 spg 4+1 ball/tracer ammo. :)

A judge declared a hung jury Tuesday in the police brutality case against a white former officer who punched and slammed a handcuffed black teenager onto a squad car during a videotaped arrest.

The jury deliberated more than three days without reaching a verdict in a case that raised racial tensions and drew comparisons to the Rodney King beating.

I don't think the cop can be convicted, and I didn't think so a year ago. And I don't think he should be.

[glock rocks]

OMG! :o)

we aren't allowed to use tracers... wild fire danger.

[ErnBatavia]

This is the cop whacking the black kid's head on the car hood, right? I read in the paper the other day how Inglewatts has mobilized hundreds of "peace monitors" for just this instance.

Hope it's not expected to be a hot-weather night there!

CNN just found the loudmouth in the crowd...

[samuel_adams_us]

Won't matter if he isn't convicted by a jury of his peers, as ticked off as the black community is about this stuff, he'll end up getting capped somewhere in the neighborhood while on duty.

A riot? Now?

I haven't got a thing to wear!

[Dog]

CNN and the community activists are blaming the DA..

LOS ANGELES: same penalty.
Darvish and his attorney banged their fists on the counsel table and breathed "Yes" as the verdicts were read.

Someone in the courtroom yelled, "No justice here!" and was silenced by Superior Court Judge William Hollingsworth Jr.

People standing outside the courthouse held signs saying "Peace After the Verdict," hoping to pevent riots like the ones that devastated the city after four white police officers were acquitted of state charges in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King in 1992.

Morse was white and the teen, Donovan Jackson, is black.

I heard on the radio earlier that a black leader was calling for everyone to not engage in destructive behavior.

I think the officer was way out of line. I never heard the reason for grabbing this minor, who was coming out of a store, because his dad had expired license plates.

Hope it's not expected to be a hot-weather night there

67 degrees low forecast for Inglewood tonight. FYI. I don't think anything is going to happen this time. If they acquitted the cop for the beating, and hung on the other guy, maybe. The DA will calm everybody down and say they are going to retry him. The will probably lose again, but by that point, people will lose interest.

yup... and the cnn is encouraging najee ali's angst. at least he speakss non-violence.
