It's funny that this has happen 20 years after my hometown (Watts) went up in flames.

R.I.P folks...:pray:
 
That guy got put through the ringer. I hope he haunts the _____ out of whoever did that to him years ago. RIP
 
Who cares that this criminal is dead. He was a POS before the attack, its the reason he was attacked and continued to be one after the attack. Good riddance you can't cost taxpayers any more money anymore. I am guessing somehow people will blame the police again.

What a F'ing Idiot!

Look like you're the POS around here. Speaking on a dead man like this. POS!
 
It has nothing to do with the news itself, but I found this sentence in the article hilarious:

Rapper Wiz Khalifa, who is engaged to model Amber Rose, put on his Twitter page: '#RIP Rodney King. #Retweet for Respect.'

What an interesting (the sentence itself) and completely relevant (the highlighted part) piece of info..

Seriously? He was a POS! Name one good thing he did. He was a POS criminal his whole life. Lets look at this upstanding member of societies criminal record.

July 27 1985 charged with battery of his wife only got probation.

Nov 3 1989 Pleaded a assult with deadly weapon, 2nd degree robbery intent to commint great bodily injury down to robbery 2 years in prison

May 3 1991 Felony evasion due he knew he was driving under the influance, and tested barely under the limit 5 hours later. (this is famous arrest and the beginning of a string of arrests where no one would file charges or prosecute him)

May 11 1991 (yes 8 days later) Got puller over for tinted windows, had both expired DL and expired car registration ( was dropped in reality due to fear of the repercussions )

May 25 (yes we are still less then a month from getting his azz beat) Picked up a tranny prostitute and when cops approached car he sped off nearly hitting a cop and no charges were files (for obviously the same reason charges were dropped)

June 26 1992 Wife called a domestic violence call and king was arrested but wife decided not to press charges

July 16 1992 Arrested for DUI but amazingly again no charges filed

Aug 21 1993 Arrested for DUI (see at pattern yet?) after running into a wall. Had BAC of .19 (way over limit) got only court ordered alcohol treatment.

May 21 1995 Guess what DUI again this one in PA. Failed field test refused blood test and was acquitted.

Sept 29 2001 Arrested for indecent exposure and PCP use

Aug 27 2003 Arrest for running red light and DUI only after he failed to yield and crashed into a house.

March 3 2011 pulled over driving erratically and had expired DL. Was cited and was later convicted of reckless driving.

Honestly I think there are some missing. I remember at least a few other arrests for battery and death threats to his daughter and x girl friend. Lets also no forget he has more then one stint in rehab (two of which he was likely paid for since they were for TV shows)

The fact that he is dead or alive doesnt change the fact he was a POS.


____ if i getting my azz beat by cops gets me 3.8 million a complete get of jail free card, semi celebrity status , the abilty to get paid for rehab stints sign me up.

It's still ill to talk about the man like that when he's dead, but you do present a good case of what a POS is. And no, I don't think you're a POS. I just think some people take things way too seriously or far on these forums. lol
 
People can be so fking cold and heartless.

It's true. I may not like the way Rodney King chose to live his life, but he is a person and his life ended. I don't really think exploiting what he did poorly in his life was respectful in anyway. Guy is dead.

Let him be.
 
Don't care one way or the other about King, I am only here to comment on the "don't speak ill of the dead" nonsense. Never understood that. If a person was a complete a-hole on Monday, died on Tuesday, are they not still a complete a-hole on Wednesday?

I had a co worker die recently, the guy was a complete idiot. Sure he's dead but that doesn't change the fact that he was an idiot and had been consistently reprimanded for poor job performance.

Does dying suddenly absolve someone of being what they were in life? I don't think so. Its just my opinion, but someone dying has never changed the way I felt about them nor did it ever persuade me from saying it. I've offended more than one person in my life by "speaking ill of the dead", but I have never felt someone dying is suddenly worthy of my respect.

Meh, maybe I'm the a-hole :dunno.....feel free to talk bad about me when I die. I promise I won't care.



Anyway, Dave really needs to institute a board policy and stop all these R.I.P./dead celebrity threads. They are unnecessary.
 
No way dude. You're getting the most badass eulogy ever. :cool:

Let him be.

His sham police brutality claim sparked the L.A. riots.

I hate cops as much as the last guy who got his ass kicked by them for nothing, but Rodney King was full of it. That only became a case because it was caught on camera, and that one incendiary clip of film outweighed every last bit of evidence that supported those cops' actions. It was one of the original reality tv seedlings. It was a farce and it revealed how dim the world had become.

Did you manage to pay the world back for it Mr. King? No? You made $4 million off your bull____ and still dug yourself an early grave at 47?

Chump.
