Rodney King Dead at 47

“It’s one thing to waste your life,” Kathy Shaidle writes in response to King’s death, “It’s another to cost your community at least a billion dollars and get other people maimed and killed in the process.”

Actually, King didn't do all that.  All those rioters did that.  The riots, in turn, were instigated by the media.  They kept playing the beating over and over again.  They wanted the riots in order to blame Bush ( Papa Bush) for them.  It was an election year coming up and they needed something to point to for their blame game.  What better way to do this than a police brutality case against a black man?

King was just a hapless human being.  He was turned into a symbol of oppression for political purposes.  He was used and the rioters were used to further the ends of politicians.  The media did this for the politics.

Bill Clinton was elected in the year of the riots.

This year is also a political year.  A black kid gets killed.  The media is attempting to instigate another riot.

Time will tell if the intent of that instigation leads to another term for Obama.
