The truck driver was pulled from his truck at the start of the riots sparked when white police officers were acquitted in the beating of black motorist Rodney King.

Bonus question - whats missing from the 'effect' half of this summary thats not missing from the 'cause' half?

The white truck driver was pulled from his truck by black assailants at the start of the riots...

All better now.

I wonder if Antoine's final words were "Can't we all just get along?"

That the truck driver was white.

The correct answer is the racial reference, but the judges can accept your response.

He should have gotten 25 to life, and I believe he is back in jail.

I think Rodney King is too.

"and nobody lifting a finger as the man was nearly taken out by hoodlums."

Actually, two black guys blew off the attackers, and put him back in the truck....not that that would do Denny any good,he was unable to drive; but the jesture cooled off the onlookers, who were enjoying the "sacrifice". There were 2 black heroes amidst a whole bunch of scum. If they haden't come forward, Denny would be dead.

I'm not sure about that. I could have sworn that I read where a black man who was watching it on TV was appalled and actually went to the scene and rescued Mr. Denny. I'll see if there's a Google on it.

Don't bother checking, there were 2 good Samaritans, or Denny would be dead!

Does anyone know how Reginald Denny is today? I remember watching him (on television) being beaten. It was awful. Did he recover fully? Where does he live now?
