King accomplished nothing. Yes, he was mistreated by the Police - No, he was not the 'cause' of the L.A. Riots - Just the fuse that folks were looking for. 3 died and many more injured. Uncounted loses in property damage. Folks randomly drug from their cars and beaten. Remember the truck driver? King was a 'nothing' and though I do not celebrate his death I sure am not spending any time being concerned about it.
54 people were killed during the LA Riots...
