The Rodney King L.A. Riots, 20 years later...

[Johnny]

You don't shoot someone in the back of the head over a bottle of orange juice. I am pretty sure nothing justifies that.

Besides Looters gonna Loot.

Did you see the smile on the face of the dude carrying the TV. The last thing on his mind was police brutality. All he thought was free tv.

Even looters have it easy today. Those flat screens don't weigh a fraction of the old tube tvs.

You dang kids, in my day a 32" Sony went 180 lbs easy. Heck if I was your age I could sprint up four flights of stares with a 42" LCD by myself.

Really? How would feel if your kid did something stupid?

i'm not sayin it was right, but when every thing you've worked for is being looted i can see where it could happen in the heat of the moment.

otoh,i have very lttle sympathy for thieves

The case Dustin is talking about preceeded the riots. A little girl murdered for steeling orange juice? Yeah, you've got very little sympathy.

Sarcasm about a young girl being shot in the head. Stay classy.

well in my 20+ years of dealing with thieves,little thieves grow up to be big thieves unless someone puts a stop to it.and i'm truely sorry a child died , maybe her parents should have raised her better

 

[djones69]

This is just a wow moment for me

how would you have handled it?

 

[JB Books]

Put a stop to it by killing all juvenile offenders. Great logic.
