That's just my opinion on how I look at people and and evaluate thier character. Some people get things easily and others have to work for what they have.
Have a good day man, I don't know you, but I dont feel as if you are any better then me, and I dont feel like I'm any better then you.

To say youve never broken a law or are innocent would be a little over board. IMO. No one is perfect, a lot of people in the country are fuck ups, and even more make mistakes. It's what you do and what you learn from your mistakes is how you should judge a persons character. Everyone comes from something different and have a different set of cards to play the game of life with, you aren't dealt the same hand as them so you don't have the right to make judgement and act as if you are any better then anyone. Not everyone has the same oppertunities as the next, sure everyone has the ability, but not everyone has the chance.

I'm not here to start an argument, clearly you are.
So I'll just leave it at this, I don't agree with what he did, but I also don't agree with what happen to the man after that night, not only did ge get his ass beat but he also had to live with all the extra BS that came about it afterwards..
"Rodney king baby, beat it like a cop"...ect...

The guy wasn't an angel, this is all after his felony evading arrest.
In 1993, King entered an alcohol rehabilitation program and was placed on probation after crashing his vehicle into a block wall in downtown Los Angeles. In July 1995, he was arrested by Alhambra police, who alleged that he hit his wife with his car, knocking her to the ground. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail after being convicted of hit and run.[32] On August 27, 2003, King was arrested again for speeding and running a red light while under the influence of alcohol. He failed to yield to police officers and slammed his vehicle into a house, breaking his pelvis.[33] On November 29, 2007, while riding home on his bicycle, King was shot in the face, arms, and back with pellets from a shotgun. He reported that it was done by a man and a woman who demanded his bicycle and shot him when he rode away.[32] Police described the wounds as looking like they came from birdshot, and said King offered few details about the suspects.
In May 2008, King checked into the Pasadena Recovery Center in Pasadena, California, where he filmed as cast member of the second season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, which premiered in October 2008. Dr. Drew Pinsky, who runs the facility, showed concern for King's lifestyle and said that King would die unless his addiction were treated.[34] He also appeared on Sober House, a Celebrity Rehab spin-off focusing on a sober living environment, which aired in early 2009. Both shows filmed King's quest not only to achieve sobriety, but to reestablish a relationship with his family, which had been severely damaged due to his drinking.[35]
During his time on Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, King worked on his addiction and on the lingering trauma of the beating. He and Pinsky retraced his path from the night of his beating, eventually reaching the spot where it happened, the site of the Children's Museum of Los Angeles.[36]
King won[37] a celebrity boxing match against ex-Chester City (Delaware County, Pennsylvania) police officer Simon Aouad on Friday, September 11, 2009, at the Ramada Philadelphia Airport in Essington, Pennsylvania.[38]
In 2009, King and other Celebrity Rehab alumni appeared as panel speakers to a new group of addicts at the Pasadena Recovery Center, marking 11 months of sobriety for him. His appearance was aired in the third season episode "Triggers".[39]
On September 9, 2010, it was confirmed that King was to marry Cynthia Kelley, who was a juror in the civil suit he brought against the City of Los Angeles.[40]
On March 3, 2011, King was stopped by Los Angeles police for driving erratically. He was issued a citation for driving with an expired license.[41][42][43] This arrest led to his February 2012 misdemeanor conviction for reckless driving.[44]
On April 12, 2012, King released a statement to the media regarding the Trayvon Martin shooting. King said he was "grieving for Trayvon Martin" and stated how the scream on the audio of George Zimmerman's 911 call reminded him of his own screaming during his beating by the LAPD.[45]"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
