"Tragic figure"? No, a cheap hustler and a petty crook who lived off the hard work of others paid to the state in taxes. The tragic figures are the cops who chased a drug-crazed drunk going 100 mph through the streets of LA and got thrown in jail for "overreacting" to please a few elites in the news media.

Excellent post. You summed it up well. King is the opposite of a Liberterian. It appears that he has lived his entire life at the expense of others.
