Rodney King Wounded in Southern California Shooting
Shooting May Have Involved Domestic Dispute
Nov. 29, 2007—
Rodney King, whose 1991 beating by Los Angeles police led to deadly rioting the next year, was shot on a street corner but his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening, police said Thursday.
King, 42, was hit in the face, arms, back and torso by birdshot fired from a shotgun. He was shot "possibly two or three times from a distance," then bicycled about 1½ miles back to his home in neighboring Rialto and called local police shortly after 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, Rialto police Sgt. Craig Crispin told The Associated Press.
King and others at the home appeared to be drunk and few cooperated with officers by providing information, Rialto police Sgt. Don Lewis told The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise.
King was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton. His condition Thursday was not immediately known.
Other details of the shooting were sketchy.
"Early indications are that it very possibly could have been a domestic dispute," San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson told The Sun newspaper.
King, who is black, was videotaped being beaten by white Los Angeles police officers after he was stopped for speeding in 1991.
Four officers were acquitted of most criminal charges in 1992, triggering rioting in Los Angeles and neighboring cities that left 55 people dead and caused $1 billion in property damage.
King sued the city over the beating and obtained a $3.8 million settlement.
However, he continued to have run-ins with the law. In 2004, he was ordered to spend 120 days in jail and ordered into treatment after pleading guilty to driving under the influence of the drug PCP after he lost control of his SUV in 2003 and slammed into a power pole in Rialto.
Rialto and San Bernardino are about 55 miles east of Los Angeles.

I can't hardly believe how PC ***boat has gotten nowdayz.. LOL
The "N" word is damn near every other word out of a black persons mouth, but some guy says it on here and he's the dumbass?
Now if you were going to define the word "nigger" as black ghetto peace of shit... Much like the black version of say "white trailer trash"
Then you can honestly tell me that this guy doesn't fit the bill?

This still goes to show the quality of the people using the term. In my opinon, the color of the user is irrelivent. When I see black people calling each other that, I view them the same as a white person using the term.
Pity and ignorance, I guess you have to partly blame the parents for not teaching them any better.

The guy really is scum. he has been arrested how many times since he got his ass kicked?

Just so we are all on teh same page with my statement above, I strongly agree with this one also. Some people (regardless of color) are just trash.

Yep.. and the guy Reginald Denney didn't get shiat.. His injuries were 10 times worse then that piece of shiat..

[Mattman]

I don't know why everybody is so down on Rodney. He's the reason I was able to pay for my first boat with overtime money after the riots!

[Bullmoose]

I don't care if he's purple he's a POS I don't really know him :D he'd probably buy a jet boat though

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

I don't care if he's purple he's a POS I don't really know him :D he'd probably buy a jet boat though
LOL!! I think he needs to get a row boat with some cement shoes.:D :D

So its safe to assume that he didnt die from the gun shot????
I had to come here, I didnt know who to AX!!!

Um, thats twice you made a jet boat remark. There is a board on here called "just jets". You can go there and insult them and you may get some bites.
Tommy
PS- No offense taken here.... I own both.

I agree 100%. Anyone who uses that word is ignorant in my opinion, and just letting everyone know it. I have had black kids in class try to call each other that and I go off. It's only happened a couple of times. I'm a very calm person and when I get ticked off, they usually take notice.

I hate that people keep quoting this POS. He doesn't deserve people to keep remembering who he is or much less have them quote him. Aren't his 15 minutes of fame over yet? :rolleyes: Everytime there's a conflict, someone quotes this scumbag.

Yeah, it got some replies, and mine was for sayin it on HB. I got bused to the ghetto as a kid, just so our schooling had equal opportunities and all:rolleyes: , so I have some less than savory ideas floating around about it all, but thats not to say more than one black family has broken bread at my dinner table.

No, our white spokesman was very specific about the "getto", and the "comunity" that lives there. You can teach a southerner to read, but damned if you can get one to spell. (or not breed within the family for that matter)

July 27, 1987: According to a complaint filed by his wife, King beat her while she was sleeping, then dragged her outside the house and beat her again. King was charged with battery and pleaded "no contest." He was placed on probation and ordered to obtain counseling. He never got the counseling.
November 3, 1989: King, brandishing a tire iron, ordered a convenience store clerk to empty the cash register. The clerk grabbed the tire iron, causing King to fall backwards and knock over a pie rack. King swung the rack at the clerk and fled the store with $200. King was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree robbery, and intent to commit great bodily injury. In a plea agreement, King pleaded guilty to the robbery charge and the other charges were dropped. He was sentenced to two years in prison, but was paroled on December 27, 1990.
The Arrest of Rodney King on March 3, 1991
March 3, 1991: After being seen speeding on the 210 freeway by CHP officers, King led them on a chase at speeds estimated at up to 110 to 115 mph. When finally stopped, King refused requests to get into the prone position and appeared to charge one of the officers. He was beaten and arrested. King was charged with felony evading. Charges were later dropped.
King's 3/3/91 Arrest Record

King and the prostitute were observed in an alley engaging in sexual activity. When the prostitute spotted the officers, King sped away, nearly hitting one of them. King later explained that he thought the vice officers were robbers trying to kill him. No charges were filed.

When she started to get out, King sped off, leaving her on the highway with a bruised arm.

March 3, 1999: King allegedly injured the sixteen-year-old girl that he had fathered out of wedlock when he was seventeen, as well as the girl's mother. King was arrested for injuring the woman, the girl, and for vandalizing property. King claimed that the incident was simply "a family misunderstanding."
September 29, 2001: King was arrested for indecent exposure and use of the hallucinogenic drug PCP

[catman-do]

Rodney King is like Jerry Springer. Starts some controversy, and generally doesnt do anything for the community. I think whoever shot King should have aimed better, that guy makes a whole race look bad. I know just as many POS white people as i do asians, mexicans, and blacks.

Relax everyone!...It's just Bobby Knight duck hunting in Rialto since he got kicked off the other sanctuary.
