[Non-Sequitur]

This is another thing about King that the public seems to have forgotten -- seems that every time he came to town, riots and looting broke out. Amazingly, he claimed to be non-violent, but violence always reared its ugly head when he was present.

For example?

"For example?"

in contrast to that foolish statement, wasn't MLK booed and jeered at the watts riots because he spoke out against the riots.

Sometime in the late 60's or early 70's, at the U of Arizona, I wrote a paper on a book by Barry Goldwater. I think he said that he had asked MLK to be more patient because things were going to work out. However, he felt MLK wanted the protest violence. I do not remember the title of the book.
