Regardless, I hope the cops that beat him senseless die a horrible death also. Violence begets violence.

Yes because RODNEY was a innocent lawabiding citizen that had NO previous convictions on his record. Thugs are going to run out of luck sooner or later.

The guys who beat Reginald Denny should be locked up in the same cage as the cops who went crazy on King. Thugs come in all forms, shapes, and colors. All of em will share the same hell, or whatever we are wishing on the "bad" guys.

King had his own demons haunting him throughout his life... And sounds like he paid for them with it.

A messed up situation all around. No right, or wrong side on this.

You know that the cops were acquitted, right? Not a single white on the jury too. What people saw initially was, basically, an edited video showing only the police retaliation and not King's initial attack on the officers.

Yes, I know they were acquitted (wasn't that what kicked off the anger?). Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the end, did it not cost them their jobs? Noone is saying that King was an angel, he definitely needed to be held accountable for his actions. But we are lumping individual actions into one, and judging the situation, rather than the individual actions.

But IMO, it's about doing what's right, vs. what's wrong, regardless of race. The beating was excessive after he was subdued, and required 5 hours of surgery.

That makes them no better that the guys who beat Reginald Denny. Again, it's not about polarizing the situation of one side vs. the other. It's about people doing the right thing, regardless of their role/position.

True dat sir....

My oldest son was 6 months old when the beating took place. He is now about to start grad school in biomedical engineering. Time flies.

Yeah. That excuses these thuggish cowards for what they did.
