Rodney King dead at 47

OK!!! I have had enough of this!

King's fifteen minutes of fame were used up decades ago, and now he is being tagged as a bigger hero than he was back then.

King is nothing but a criminal who was mishandled by law enforcement during one of his many run ins with them.  Sadly, he did not learn his lesson, and he went on to more trouble after this event than before.  I hope his death is nothing more than a heart attack or stroke, but his history makes one think it is "self inflicted" through his life choices.

Bottom line:  Let US rest in peace in his death!

King's Trouble with the Law Prior to His Beating

Yep, A real civil rights hero!

Any wonder now why, especially for the last 50 years or so, the left has been impugning the reputation and history of the great men who founded and kept this nation?  Your guy can't be great unless he's on their level and since he can't be on their level you have to bring their level down.  Socialist/communist tactic that goes back 100 years and it works every time because the masses won't put their brain in gear.
