Just when you think there is nothing more for people to hate you read a thread like this.

We have to learn to live and work and govern together if we want to nation to get back on its feet. I don't know what the solution is but, Sparky, you are part of the problem.
 
Nice race baiting. I thought you didn't like that.

FYI, you were the first person to bring up the issue of race in this thread
 
Every day dozens of people are stopped on DUIs without having the living lights beaten out of them after they're in police custody. Half a dozen crooked cops get away with it and suddenly it's an issue about what a criminal Rodney King was and not... you know... the fact that "officers of the peace" were wrong.
 
The only thing that's embarrassing is the Liberals views and compassion for Rodney King.

He is dead. Why is showing respect for the dead a embarrassing Liberal value to you??
 
I guess when it comes to blaming black people, all that conservative schtick about "people are responsible for their own actions" goes out the window.

Well that didn't take long for a Liberal to throw down a race card.

The new definition of racist is anyone that kicks a Liberal's butt in a debate.
 
A dude with problems?...LOL!!!

He was a dude that stole a car, ran from the cops in a highspeed chase, was drunk and doped up, and then tried to fight it out with the cops when they finally stopped him.

Anyone that does all that deserves an ass whippin.

Expecting you to show empathy for another human being was too much to expect. Sorry about that.
 
It's sad how this thread is going in light of King's most famous words: "Can't we all get along?"

Well if that were the definition in play, it was the wrong time. Name calling doesn't win debates, but since you think it does....

For a, "human being", sure. A scumbag? You can forget it.

I have zero empathy for an individual who endangers innocent lives, during the commission of a crime.

I think sometimes cops have to use force to restrain people, but King was in surgery for a long time. I would guess they used excessive force... plus there were about four guys on him at once. This is just what I read today. I didn't see the original footage, and I don't want to. I hate seeing people getting beat up.

How did he endanger anybody? lol... He didn't riot, and he got his assed kicked during an arrest. Did any of the cops need surgery? What were the extent of their injuries?

Unless that person is a Conservative. Then you'll find any excuse you can for them.

They probably don't become in highspeed chases and try to fight it out with the cops, either. See a pattern?

Again, apdst was the first to mention race and try to turn this into a race debate.

He was replying to this:

What about all the innocent people--most of them black--that were killed, or injured over this clown?

He was drunk and ****ed up on dope, driving a car down the street. It could have been the same street your family travels on. Then, when he gets busted, he wants to do battle with the cops. Was this asshole really worth the lives of the people that died during the riots?

****'em, huh?

Ie He was pointing out that you can't blame Rodney King for the actions of the rioters.
 
How did he endanger anybody?

He was involved in a highspeed chase, at speeds up to 80mph on residential streets, under the influence of alcohol, running from the cops. He didn't endanger anyone?

lol... He didn't riot, and he got his assed kicked during an arrest. Did any of the cops need surgery? What were the extent of their injuries?

They didn't recieve any injuries, because they were kicking his ass, to defend themselves.
 
Well, actually King was (allegedly) drunk driving and led the police on a chase...

Nothing alleged to it. His intoxication level was twice the legal limit.

What does the text in red mean if it is not about blaming him for the riots?
