20 Year Anniversary of Rodney King Riots

[lgm270]

Well it's the 20th Anniversary of the infamous Rodney King Riots that occurred in Los Angeles in 1992 when blacks were not willing to accept the not guilty  verdict of the trial  of four LAPD officers accused of using excessive force against Rodney King, the negro motorist who operated a car under the influence of drugs and who led the police on a high speed chase for miles through the densely populated Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Now. 20 years later, all of the commentators are unanimous....the fault for the riots by blacks and Hispanics was not with Rodney King for driving under the influence and running from police, it was not the fault of blacks and Hispanics who burned and looted and attacked people for days....IT WAS THE FAULT OF WHITE PEOPLE, THE LAPD AND THEN CHIEF OF POLICE DARRYL GATES.   (Who will they blame when blacks riot if George Zimmerman is acquited?  Darryl Gates is dead.) 

GOT THAT! When  non-white minorities burn and loot and kill, it's not their fault...IT'S YOUR FAULT AND THE FAULT OF THE POLICE!   Maybe the police should be put in jail when minorities riot. 

I lived in LA during the 1992 riots and the lesson to be learned is DON'T EVER LET THEM TAKE YOUR GUNS.  IF YOU DO, YOU'RE SCREWED BECAUSE IF THESE THIRD WORLD ANIMALS ATTACK YOU IT WILL BE DEEMED TO BE YOUR FAULT.   

The following link is typical of the coverage and propaganda surrounding this outrage.

We as Americans are to passive, we let anyone do or say anything agenced us here. Prove me wrong, please. Send the trouble making whitey hating blacks to Africa, maybe they will be happy there. Get rid of Obama, permenently. Lets start to take OUR country back. Unlike the weather we can do something other than complain.

I wonder if Matt and GB will allow us to set up a Back to Africa account for Obama's plane ticket to Kenya........

I heard Rodney King speaking on the radio the other day.  I was very impressed.

I heard Rodney King speaking on the radio the other day.  I was very impressed.

I heard him on the radio too. Here in LA he was given an hour to go on the air to blame white people and lie.  He falsely said that all of the passengers in the car were beaten and that he was called the "N-word" by the cops.  A person who testified as an expert in the trials called in and, based on his exhaustive review of all exhibits, reports, trial  testimony, video and recordings, disputed King's claims.   He also pointed out that he had viewed the ENTIRE video, just just the carefully edited snippets that were shown to the public.  The entire video shows King charging police and behaving very aggressively. 

 Rodney King is a liar who has found another opportunity to  profit financially from illegal and reckless behavior, this time with his phony,  ghost written book.

The King affair was political theater that was stage managed to justify minority savagery and further condition the public to accept allowing these animals to run wild.  We are reaping the whirlwind too. More recently, the minorities were threatening to riot over the Laker basket ball team.  On the night of one of the playoffs, 200 "minorities" rioted, smashed stores, pulled motorists out of cars and burned the cars, WHILE 2,000 LAPD STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING!    The cops outnumbered the criminals by 10 to 1 and they were powerless to protect the people and property of Los Angeles.  LA's Mexican mayor went on TV the next day and praised the LAPD for its "restraint."    Got that?  The function of the police in the post -Rodney King era is to show restraint and to protect criminals from their victims.

Well said.

I don't think you heard him.  You heard what you wanted to hear.

I am not delusional. I know what I heard.  The show was the Larry Elder Show on 790 KABC Am radio in Los Angeles.

I am at a loss to understand the impulse of white people like you  to defend the kind of savagery and dysfunctionalism displayed by Rodney King and the so called  "black community."  When these people don't get their way, they simply riot and burn something down, loot and/or kill people.   This is what they're threatening to do in the Trayvon Martin affair. 

Many whites were upset about the acquittal of O.J. Simpson here in LA but we accepted the jury's verdict and that was that.  No riots. No looting. No pulling people out of cars and beating them almost to death.   This is of course as it should be.

I worked in downtown LA during the '92 riots and  thankfully was in San Bernardino county that specific day (60 miles away)  and our firm closed down for the next several days because it was not safe to travel to and from downtown LA.  After order was restored, I  returned to my downtown office and driving home on my usual route, I noticed the burned out and looted buildings as well as poch marks from bullets that were fired into buildings along the way.  If I'd been caught downtown on the day of the verdict, I might very well  have been killed going home that day. That's how close I came. 

From my residence  over the next several days, I watched plumes of smoke coming from all over LA and saw violent mobs on TV.  I received calls from non-gun owners who asked me to either loan them guns or to come and stay with them because they called the cops and got busy signals. Imagine that!!! People who had mocked me as a "nut", a "crackpot" a "paranoid" and as other things were calling me for help because I owned guns and they didn't!!! Suffice to say,   I declined.

At that time I published a gun magazine (a shooting range directory) that was sold in most gun stores in So Cal, and one of my customers told me that he received a call from some State official asking about M-16 ammo.  They wanted to know how much he had on hand.  The National Guard units DID NOT HAVE AMMO! 

I did not imagine any of this.  It is all verifiable truth.

I defended neither.  I enjoyed hearing how the black community gave him hell for saying why can't we all just get along in peace.  Rodney King didn't do much of anything to get the carp beat out of him.  What did Rodney burn?  Who are "these people"?  If they burned all of California nothing would have been lost.  The police are out of control all over this fair land.  On is as bad as the other.  Wake up and smell the roses....

Are you kidding me?  The police don't riot when, a police killer gets let off on a technicality.  The police don't burn down black neighborhoods when one of their members gets killed or maimed.  Your comparison defies comprehension.

I do believe you should listen to your own advice.

[Swampman]

I didn't make a comparison.  I said they are out of control.  The non-stop abuse of power by government minions is what I'm talking about.  I'm speaking from personal experience.
