Rodney King Has Passed Away
Rodney King was found dead in the backyard of his home in Rialto, CA early this morning. For those of you young hos who are like, "Who's Rodney King?" Please tell your 7th grade history teacher to give a long lesson on the 1991 brutal police beating of Rodney King, which lead to an acquittal, which led to the massive L.A. Race Riots.
There's not a lot of confirmed details, but TMZ is on this hard and has heard a few things. Rodney's fiancee, Cynthia Kelley, is telling friends that he spent the entire day yesterday boozing and smoking weed at the house. When she called it a night and went to bed at 2 this morning, Rodney was still drinking and was in a good mood. Then at around 5 this morning, Cynthia was awoken by Rodney's screams. She found Rodney naked and banging on the glass. Cynthia asked him what was wrong before she ran to grab her phone, to call 911 presumably. Cynthia then heard a splash and she ran to the backyard. Cynthia found Rodney lying at the bottom of the pool. The paramedics showed up and were unable to bring Rodney back. Rodney was only 47 years old.
After the riots and a federal trial in 1993, which ended with two of the officers found guilty, Rodney King was in a bad way. Rodney battled addiction and was arrested a couple of times. In 2009, Rodney was on both Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, and to me came across as a nice, quiet, sad, troubled (I hate that word too, but I couldn't think of another one) guy who really wanted to get his shit together.
Oh, and if you haven't been to Facebook today, you might want to stay away unless you really want to see a dozen statutes that say: "Can't all just..." you know the rest.
Rest in peace, Rodney King.

MK should have just closed the comments after suckandfuck. sometimes it's ok to keep your contempt and hate to yourself. in particular, the day of someone's death might be a damn good time to give it a minimal effort. fuck.
RIP Rodney -- fucked up circumstances of death. as someone who lives alone stories like this scare the shit out of me. Life Alert may be getting my money
ETA: not saying sucky's comment was bad, i mean it was the best comment to end this subject on because it had a neutral yet snarky note.

Even though it is hard for me to peel my eyes away, like when I see NSFW or "Don't click on this," I am leaving this thread now. It is not okay to call other posters dirty names or tell them to fuck off.

PS - Not starting an argument with you Hotmami. I have always respected your views and the stuff you say. If someone has a differing view and isnt rude about it, like some can get, and calling others names, we can have a discussion.
I totally get what you are saying, GG. However, Chris does not seem to know that you can state your opinion without calling people cretins and making snide remarks. I don't personally think that Rodney was trash, but I can see how you and others would see him that way. A law abiding citizen he was not.

Hotmami, you are free to pity this guy and no one has the right to belittle you for it. Also, I have the right to consider him trash and look down on him with out being talked down to. We all have the right to our opinions without being told to go to other sites if someone doesnt mirror what we think.
I'm glad she didn't let him in because he probably would've eaten her face off. Naked, screaming and pounding on the window sounds like that bath salts bullshit.

All you cretins who think Rodney King was a good individual need to look at the full story as to why the Police did what they originally did to him. I would never defend Police brutality but in this particular instance I can see why those officers acted the way they did.
Fucking quote of the day. It WAS police brutality, and you just defended it.
RIP Rodney!
Unfortunate situation all around... not much more I can say...

They didn't even know who he WAS when they gave him his beatdown. They didn't even know he was on parole for priors until they found out who he was AFTER the beatdown.
Anyway in your mind it's open season on anyone that has a criminal record?
Nobody is saying he was an angel anyway.

I hate to go all bitchface here, but Mrs. PC,you are the LAST person who needs to comment on rubbish. Please get back to backing up the files on your hardrive.
Chris Knight, I don't think anyone here is really saying that Rodney was a good person. Yes, he had some serious problems and a long rap sheet. We get that. But what those police, who are sworn to serve and PROTECT did to him was fucking despicable. I, and the others who feel pity for this man, are entitled to feel that way. If you don't like it, you need to find a website with like-minded people.

Well that's good to know, it's been a LONG time since I've gotten into a scrap over a girl:)
All you cretins who think Rodney King was a good individual need to look at the full story as to why the Police did what they originally did to him. I would never defend Police brutality but in this particular instance I can see why those officers acted the way they did. Quote: In the two decades since the attack, he has been arrested 11 times for domestic violence, assault, drug use and DUI.......And that's since the riots. Good individual? You defenders of this man need to wake up and are part of the reason why nobody thinks they should take responsibility for their actions anymore.

MK,
Thanks for keeping things classy. I was reading some of the comments from a local news website and was saddened by many of them.
RIP, Rodney King.

Agreed. It was like I walked in on a virtual Klan meeting.

Even his death causes controversy. RIP Rodney. Must people be so hateful? Would they say these things to each other in person?
Some days I weep for humanity.
***************************
Right? But the internet is a kind of confessional, no? You feel like you're all alone and all those other people are just words on a page.
I like it tho...I'd rather know people for who they really are than who they present themselves to be under societal pressure. It makes thinning the herd that much easier;p

10-inch dicks are a hot mess. They can't get fully erect because they are so heavy. Don't ask me how I know this.
