| Can't we all just...OWWWWWW! SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- Southern California police said 1991 police beating victim Rodney King has been shot, but the wounds are not life-threatening. Rialto police Sgt. Don Lewis told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that King was hit in the face and arm by shotgun pellets on a San Bernardino street corner Wednesday night. He bicycled to his home in Rialto to call police and was taken to a hospital. That shotgun empty, Rodney? Don't know. Lemme look... Police said when they arrived at the home, King and others there appeared drunk and few were cooperative in providing information. Yeah, looks like Rodney's learned a lot... San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson tells the San Bernardino County Sun that the shooting may have involved a domestic dispute. Aw, jeez. The money running out, Rodney? King was beaten by Los Angeles police in 1991 and the officers' subsequent acquittal on criminal charges sparked deadly rioting in 1992. Yes, so I've heard... |

| #5 For those who don't know, there was no "Rodney" King until the arrest incident: he was known as Glen King for all his life. Defense lawyers chose to use his middle name because it sounded "blacker," and they wanted to play the race card. Most people who are handed $4 million tax free, would say bye to the low life. "Glen" ain't most. |

| #4 Unco-operative 'friends' at the home? Huh. Maybe they were just getting along...at least Rodney is doing his part fighting global climate change and staying in shape with his bicycle. |

| #3 the wounds are not life-threatening Pity that. This skank's nine lives ran out well before his fifteen minutes. |
