Rodney King dead

Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned...

For him to be found at the bottom of the pool, would he have to dead in the pool all night?

Why is his death at a young age excellent? He was not some axe murderer. Just a guy with problems.

A troubled guy that nobody would ever have known about, cared about or followed his follies had he not been BEAT UP by the people who are supposed to protect us. I am sure he was no angel (nor am I) but I can't see any joy over his early death. He's not Hitler guys............

Just another guy with demons, I think he ultimately meant well.

He's certainly better than say, Rev. Al Sharpton.

RIP Mr. King.

I never walked a mile in Rodney Kings shoes, so I will not judge him. RIP.

I just can't stand attention whores. We never hear about the truck driver who was nearly beaten to death but we hear about this reprobate every time he gets arrested. Famous for no good reason, that's all...

Can't say anything good about the dead, don't say anything at all. He's dead...good.

And this is no better.....two wrongs don't make a right. Our country remains divided and always will as long as money is allowed to fund politics. It leaves no "room" for integrity and respect for others.



Attacking each other is what "they" want.

How about directing energy toward those who are really hurting us....the politicians. Vote them ALL OUT.....send a message....it's the only way to be heard...trust me.

Just my point of view....

Serious questions for all you who feel it's more important to be PC instead of (God forbid) telling the truth:

how do you feel about drink drivers? Aren't you the same ones who are so ready to condemn a drunk driver you are chomping at the bit? Aren't you the same ones who say drunk driving fines aren't steep enough simply because that's the "hip" thing to say this week?
Do you really feel it's perfectly OK for someone to get SIX DUI arrests?
How about 4 counts of wife-beating, is that OK in your book?
If so then getting busted with a tranny hooker or busted for armed robbery of a liquor store is probably no big deal either.
Crashing a car into a house or building a few times, well that could happen to anyone, right?
Getting busted for driving over 100 mph while high on PCP ain't no thang ........ you're probably thinking all those things could happen to to you just as easily


If someone gets arrested SIX TIMES for DUI can you honestly say it's just a sad situation and he just has some "problems" or "demons" and it doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad person? How would all your "so-called" friends at the cocktail party or at the local Starbucks react if they found out you were supporting and making lame excuses for a habitual drunk driver?

What's that? They'd hate you for it until they found out it was Rodney King and then they'd say never mind it's OK, simply because they're phoney putzes too?
Hopefully none of you cowards will ever get taken out by a drunk driver or lose a family member to one, even thought it'd be poetic irony.

Chris: good for you for saying it like it really is.

Sniff Sniff......starting to smell a little PARFY around here!

I said it like it is as well....... I see no joy in this mans death, I just said it on the internet, what makes you think I wouldn't make the same comment at Starbucks or a cocktail party?

Not going to argue the point, just stating how I see it, no need to criticize someone over a different point of view. You can have a different opinion on this and I can still call you a friend right?
