If he had a brother, he would look like Rodney King.

[Skulnik]

They had a clip of him on FOX from last April, he looked and sounded like he had his shit together.

Well, if he was on tv, I'm sure he wasn't a piece of shit anymore.

He looked like a real swell fella in the court room in '91, too.

Growing up in Los Angeles during the riots was a life changing experience for a lot us. It was the tipping point of many injustices that seemed to be ignored by the diminishing White right winged politicians of that era, like was changing and the old guard needed to move on.
If that beating is not filmed, I am not sure whatever becomes of these social injustices.
King was the face of this revolt but in reality, it was the hispanics and blacks that endured a lot of unnecessary violence.
Think of NWA, 84 Olympics (the promise & unity), and Rodney King.

There's a few thousands Koreans that wish it was never filmed. They got screwed.
In the aftermath, that is.

Maybe you didn't understand my point but ALL immigrants were screwed before this incident.
Koreans business owners might of been a casualty of the riots but thats what was needed to change LAPD and life in Los Angeles. LAPD was corrupt and out of control, this incident changed the old guard.

The Koreans knew where they built their businesses was not safe, it was there choice. The people who grew up in inner city LA were not so lucky to choose.

Very true. :0074

please don`t make this yo-yo out to be some kind of hero...the guy was a reprobate back then and more than likely was at the time of his death...

as for the koreans,it was a damned shame that they were caught in the middle of the riots...last time i checked,they are allowed to open businesses any where they please(without worry of having their hard work destroyed by idiots)....i don`t mind a-holes burning down their own shit...it`s unfortunate that hard working innocents were caught in the middle of the clusterfuck....

 

[fatdaddycool]

How the fuck anybody relates the death of a 47 year old man to the riots in LA is beyond me. How anyone makes a fucking joke about the untimely death of someone's Brother, Son, Father is also beyond me.

Raymond, I don't know you but you are not beyond reproach. You immediately connect King to Obama simply because he is black yet you used to have an American flag as an avatar. Just because you are a poor speller doesn't make you stupid. Ignorance on display makes you stupid. Whether you like the President or not you should support our troops, go America. Where is all that patriotic bullshit now? You think Kings death is a joke yet I promise you he did more for public awareness and civil rights than you will ever contribute to even this forum.

The man was beaten damn near to death and the LAPD was guilty of violating his rights, period. In a true free nation with true patriots, e embrace equality and Civil Rights. Not so much ignorance though, maybe you should think about what you are attempting to spell out phonetically on here prior to opening the cheesesteak hole huh? Just a little friendly advice from your uncle Bingo

Johnny,

If you don't mind the inquiry?

Where in LA were you during this Cluster Fuck?

Where in OC are you now?

I have posted several times that these small dicked, roid head cops are mainly responsible for what had happened in 1992.

For years, the black, hispanics and any other minority group were treated worse than factory farm animals by these abusive pricks !

The video of Rodney getting a beat down just added more fuel, gun powde, and assorted demo to an already unstable explosive device.

THE STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL OFFICIALS FUCKED UP FOR NOT BEING PREPARED !

My Engineer Battalion was slated to go to Fort Irwin, CA for our Annual Training. I was on the Advance Party to move a 20 vehicles, equipment, weapons,etc... on WEDS 29 APR 92.

So this should give you and idea of our state of readiness?

It was a real DOTFA for my Company to locate me, being that our duty roster was already at Fort Irwin with the Pre-Advance Party :shrug:

Oh, but it get's more interesting ! :facepalm: :mj07:

The State Armorer, the GUY WHO ISSUES AMMO !
WAS ON LEAVE ! IN HAWAII ! THE SECONDARY, UHHH :shrug: IN JAIL :facepalm:

After that, I cannot release anymore info because 3 dumb fucks complained about this TO THE FUCKING MEDIA ! AND THEY WERE SNATCHED UP BY CID !

Anyways....

I finally make my way to Sacramento to the "Head Shed" and half the people are pissed that I was late, the other half are doing the snoopy supper dance that I made it ! Still drunk from the night/morning before and of the day of...

I get my briefing, people are giving me shit from all ranks, and my reply is "Just shut the fuck up and give me coffee and a breakfast burrito"

I catch 2 hours of sideways somewhat silence on the drill floor, and then we are off to the AFB to catch the BIG BIRD.

Now I have to deal with a bunch of Skoal Dipping shit head racists who are excited to go into LA so they can go shoot and Kill "Niggers and Wetbacks"

That snaps me out of my haze !

And I have to 'Splain things to these fuck sticks that we are taking off and landing in CALIFORNIA ! THAT'S STILL IN THE UNITES STATES OF AMERICA FOR YOU MORONS WHO FAILED 3RD GRADE GEOGRAPHY ! You got your pink pencils excited to go shoot another human being, who lives in the state that you live in, no matter if they are legal or not? It's not like the Fucking Soviets or Chinese have taken over S.E. LA and we have to defend and repel. This was quickly noticed by a Major who knows how hostile I can get, he pulled me away and delivered an SNS (serious no shitter) to said dip shit soldiers about their suggested and perceived racism.

My company draws the short straw, no suprise, and we get Lynwood, we bunk at the Lynwood Sheriffs Youth Center. What a friggin toilet. Part of our patrol is the Koreans 3 story indoor swapmeet. At first we were kind of nervous that these guys had better weapons, scopes and other "BAD STUFF" than we did, and they were looking down on us, while we patrolled the street. So we had to have a face to face with these guys and coordinate actions with them. We put 2 snipers on the roof and had one of their guys go on each of our patrols, that was a HUGE asset.

One of the most iconic and controversial television images of the violence was a scene of two Korean merchants firing pistols repeatedly at roving looters. The New York Times said, "that the image seemed to speak of race war, and of vigilantes taking the law into their own hands."<sup id="cite_ref-NY_Times2_47-0" class="reference">[48]</sup> The merchants, jewelry store and gun shop owner Richard Park and his gun store manager, David Joo, were reacting to the shooting of Mr. Park's wife and her sister by looters who converged on the shopping centre where the shops were located.<sup id="cite_ref-NY_Times2_47-1" class="reference">[48]</sup> "I want to make it clear that we didn't open fire first," said David Joo, manager of the gun shop. "At that time, four police cars were there. Somebody started to shoot at us. The L.A.P.D. ran away in half a second. I never saw such a fast escape. I was pretty disappointed." Carl Rhyu, a participant in the Koreans armed response, said, "If it was your own business and your own property, would you be willing to trust it to someone else? We are glad the National Guard is here. They're good backup. But when our shops were burning we called the police every five minutes; no response."<sup id="cite_ref-NY_Times2_47-2" class="reference">[48]</sup>

So, I take the commander, the OPS SGT and 2nd Plt Leader out to a different location that will be 2nd Platoons area of responsibilty, a lumber yard, great place to set a fire? :shrug:

While scouting and patrolling the yard, a fire breaks out down the street, 2 cars on fire. The CO wants to grab my 5 lb fire extinguisher to put it out and starts to runs towards the danger area ! FUCKING STOP SIR ! BAD GUYS AT YOUR 12 ! This was repeated 3 times until he noticed, BAD GUYS AT HIS 12 !

At this time 20 LEO vehicles LAPD, LA County Sherrif and CA HWY Patrol come rolling thru with 6 fire trucks. All the LEO's pop out in full battle rattle, riot gear, shields, the shit is on ! I lock and load my 16 and my .45 as well as the the OPS SGT, so the officers figure that should do the same instead of chew some ass ! We provide rear security, then the shit starts to fly ! Bottles, rocks, bricks, trash cans, some one threw a cat :mj07: ! The cop became Janikowski and drilled that puddy tat about 30 yards ! Then "Bad Guys" to the rear ! FUCK ! I'm already on the horn calling in for support, 3 HUMMERS with .50 cals mounted and they are there faster than Hedge can make a box of donuts disappear, bad guys gone !

That was my first 2 hours !

It was SOFA KING hot, time to change the BVDS, I wasn't sure if.... but I changed just in case? :lol:

I can post my entire, well not entire because some of it is still sensitive material, after action review from this DICK DANCE, but that would take a over a day to do !

It's really easy for some of the pin heads, uhhh Shit Starters here to post their less than educated and unsympathetic remarks about Rodney, yes, he was a shit head when he got the beat down. DUH ! But does being a shit head give the right 7 Los Angeles Police Officers to try and kill him?

Just so you know, these small dick, roid head pricks with a badge, treated the Military like shit too.

CA National Guard, US Army (7th ID) USMC 3rd Battalion 1st Marines

Hmmmm,

This is what it says on the side of an LAPD Cruiser !

So in we come,

The talking heads say our pressence does little :shrug:

You want to know why ?

I wish I still had a copy, or I could find it in my stacks of ARMY SHIT !

OUR LIST OF ROE (Rules of Engagement) and readiness levels.

It was complete bullshit what steps we had to take before we could chamber a round and use deadly force to protect ourselves, other soldiers and civilians.

Step 10: Letter from Santa Clause authorizes use of deadly force, but try to hit them in the leg only ! :0008

These are the Koreans we worked with :0074

AND TO BOOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PUT A ANTI AMERICAN PRESIDENT TO FINISH THIS COUNTRY OFF:facepalm:

Ray,

I don't know how Mr. King was doing as far as any addictions go throughout his life. I have no real evidence at hand of what he was doing the last year or so either way. I understand that you don't like our sitting President, but do you not see where calling him un-American is exactly the opposite of what a true Patriot would do?
To the contrary, I think he is far more "American" than the previous president that put our country at risk to settle a debt for his daddy.
President Obama was duly elected and will be again as he is the best candidate at present. Why don't you tell me about your efforts to improve the lot of the American peoples? What contributions have you made recently besides name calling?
Again, I am sure you are a good guy but I think your attitude toward politics is steeped more in personal criticisms than it it is based in fact.


I don't want this to become a political thing as it is not my thread, so I look forward to your reply but after that I am out of this.

Hope that helps,
FDC
