To: Rodney King
First of all, criminalizing opinions, however odious, published as such in a newspaper, is a blatant attack on the most fundamental of the rights of man. The only thing criminal I see is the investigation itself.

My next question, which the article ignores, is whether what he said was true. Were the perpetrators black people of West Indian descent? If not, then I guess he was wrong and the article's critics can attack him on that basis. But if yes, is truth a defense in modern day England?
