Maxine Waters lit a fuse by screaming "No justice, no peace." On the night the riots began, she was at a housing project dancing with gang members. Trucker Reginald Denny was beaten and had a brick thrown into the side of his head at point blank range by Damien "Football" Williams.

LA Tinderbox Fears Violent New Spark

The one thing about those riots, that it brought home the message, about the failure of gun control. The police were told to stand down, and the animals went wild, tearing up the city, I felt real bad about those Korean shop keepers as well as those who had nothing to do with this, who suffered and paid the highest price. Perhaps HCI should thank it's devils, that the internet was not a full force, then as it is today. Of course that riot probably did even more damage to George Bush, in a presidential election year, just the total fecklessness, of that administration, really disgusted me.

Williams, 28, spent four years in prison after he was convicted of mayhem for beating Denny with a brick at a South-Central Los Angeles intersection during the 1992 riots.

I vividly recall the tv pictures of Chief Gates, wearing a bulletproof vest, personally arresting "Football," and and placing him in the back of a LAPD squad car. Great drama, but Williams was let off easy by the racially biased LA court system on what should have been a first degree murder charge for what he did to Reggie Denny. That Williams was eventually going to kill somebody if he ever got out of the pen again after the Denny incident was a foregone, and evenutually accurate, conclusion.

Can't be Reginald Denny embraced William's family and forgave him

The farce goes on...the policemen who apprehended King were originally found not guilty which sparked the riots and scared the feds into new trials on the Newspeak charges of "violating King's civil rights" - I wonder what charges they would have thought up next if the second trials hadn't resulted in guilty verdicts to please the mob...and I recall Chief Gates on television two weeks before the end of the first trials warning that there could be "civil unrest" if the verdicts weren't as the public wanted, and being labeled "racist" for saying so - and then, after the riots, being excoriated for being unprepared for what happened...such is the state of "justice" in the USA....

Damien "Football" Williams entered the plea Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Trial is scheduled for June 1.

I hope he hangs. And I hope he is prepared to talk to God, because He will be the only one to give him mercy.
