Holy crap

[keepitreal]

Huh? You talkin’ to me????? ;-)

[Larry Lucido]

He had been struck in the face and arm with a shotgun

If he'd been shot in the chest, he'd say "Can't we all just get a lung?"

[Responsibility2nd]

Don’t bother asking

lol.

I'm guessing I'm on a need to know basis and....

... not like I really care anyway. I'm just remembering he was a frequent FReeper.

But no more, huh?

***May 28, 1991: King picked up a transvestite prostitute in Hollywood who happened to be under surveillance by LAPD officers. King and the prostitute were observed in an alley engaging in sexual activity. When the prostitute spotted the officers, King sped away, nearly hitting one of them. King later explained that he thought the vice officers were robbers trying to kill him. No charges were filed.***

The question is... who was receiving?

Wikipedia; star-crossed :

“Star-crossed” or “star-crossed lovers” is a reference to those who fight against (or cross) their fate, which is written in the stars. The phrase is first recorded by William Shakespeare in his play Romeo and Juliet.

I dunno, he keeps getting away with it.

Rodney King Rap Sheet: ...

How many swipes will natural selection take at this moron before it works?

[subterfuge]

I’m thinking that if the cops knew who was making the report at the time that it might take them 8, maybe 10 hours to show up.

At any rate, the last I heard Rodney was teaming up with someone, along with his million or so he’d gotten from the Kalifornia taxpayers, and making a rap record. Certainly a wise choice for someone trying to go legit!

[redrunner]

You just can’t make this stuff up... God save us!!!

[JuliaAnne]

I wouldn’t be surprised - time for Christmas shopping!

[Nextrush]

Smells like a drug deal shooting.

[TheRake]

Looking at that rap sheet, he gets better treatment than a Kennedy!

[Badeye]

Yes, but thats due to the riots, and promise of more.

"..before biking home to Rialto.."

Rode his bike home.

Yea, right.

[rockabyebaby]

Damn, can’t we all just get along? Apparently NOT!

[nhoward14]

I didn’t realize the writer’s strike was capable of forcing the news industry into reruns. First OJ, now Rodney King. All we need now is General Schwarzkopf giving war updates during prime time again.

[geopyg]

LOL!

Can I add that I went to a Rush concert?

What gets me is that everybody believes his story. Out riding a bike ... and was shot with a shot gun and then peddles home to call police. When the police arrive a he and his buddies are drunk ... and they are not real cooperative with police questioning.

I bet the whole thing went down in his house!
