To me, always thinking somewhat differently, I find the career of the "upstanding member of the public" etc to be worth checking on. Amongst other sources I accessed a Michael Goldstein of the LA times.
We are informed that the grandfather of Mr Holliday was a "Bobby" in England. (Finest traditions and all that). This inspired Mr Holliday, says he.
It might do Holliday some good to do some reading on the darker side of the Victorian Bobby. The riots caused 54 deaths and 2383 injuries. Mr Holliday is a "rooter". He still works steadily. He took monies on rights to his video. (He does not say how much).
Two wives left him. The stress by the jackals- whoops, sorry, the press,got to the poor lady. I understand he is not an American citizen. Bought up in Argentina. He will take American citizenship.
To be fair, he did try to contact police authorities first (he says). Police officers did 30 months jail time and lost their jobs. Somehow I do not care for either King or Holliday.
Best quote of the riots - "It's all free!"

Typical NAACP Man of the Year.
Cain't we all just have some chicken and waffles?
You are supposed to ping someone when you post about him.
One convenient fact the original article neglected to mention, the multi-million $ settlement King was given. Guess they forgot....
What became of the white truck driver that was pulled out and beaten to a pulp....what was his name.....anyone remember?
was he "just about to turn his life around"? maybe he "lost his moral compass".
Actually King became the poster boy for trumped up charges of police brutality.
The luckiest day of King's life.
This loser should be looking out from behind bars or be institutionalized for treatment of "empty brain syndrome".
Yes Alex, I'll take "Blame it on the Man," for $500 please.
Have no fear...Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton en route...demanding immediate dismissal of charges...and that Mr. King be awarded another 100k for his trouble as Mr. King is a victim of society.
The videotaped beating was deliberately edited so as to show police in a bad light, and for the purpose of stirring up racial hatreds. The media WANT people to hate each other based on race.
There is a long list of "People Who......If They'd Never Been Born, the World Would Be MUCH Better Off"; this scumbag is on that list.
