Keep in mind in the new year, that anger is one of the seven deadly sins. God bless us, every one ..... tiny timblindice, your laundry and morale officer Keep in mind in the new year, that anger is one of the seven deadly sins. God bless us, every one ..... tiny timblindice, your laundry and morale officerDon’t know which 7 deadly list anger is on (must be reformed Druids):
1. Lust 2. Gluttony 3. Greed 4. Sloth 5. Wrath(this means RAGE, not Anger btw) 6. Envy 7. Pride. To be counteracted by humility, charity, kindness, patience, chastity, temperance, and diligence.
Modern psychologists view Anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by virtually all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival. Buuut, in Rodney King’s case he and his minders cultivated the Rage/sin which resulted (for political reasons, thank you Maxine Waters) :
Stopped for DUI (which would violate his parole for armed robbery) with blood alcohol of over .19. Judge agreed he aggravated the situation under this influence, and officers justified and in line with police policy subduing him. Acquitted two of the officers, convicted other two.
The acquittals generally considered to have triggered the 1992 Los Angeles riots,where 53 people were killed, and over two thousand were injured. The riots ended when the United States Army National Guard, along with Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton were called in to assist local authorities and quell the riots. Numerous copy cat riots occurred in San Fran, Atlanta,Vegas and Toronto— injuring many more.
Invests some of his 3.8 mill settlement with LA in a rap record label (full of druggie rappers, just like him). Company goes under. In and out of jail thereafter over ensuing years, including for hitting his wife with his car.
Issues “comments” about, of all things Trayvon Martin (about which he knows nothing) in April 2012, that trayvons screams reminded him of his own— good Lord.
June 2012: found dead in his pool. Coroner: died of accidental drowning, and that alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana were found in his blood and were contributing factors.
A completely Wasted life, and the wasting of other’s lives from Wrath, a sin. Answer: NO, we can’t all get along— some people can NEVER get along-black, white, whatever- because they are ALWAYS high and were stupid, genetically, from birth.
But thank you for the morale and laundry boost!! Happy New Year!
