left wing? im far from left, far from right, 10 miles dead down the center...

he was never on parole for beating a 73 year old woman to death.. he went to prison for trying to rob a convineince store with an iron bar, the clerk took the bark, and King grabbed a snack rack and swung it at HIM, not her... and he never actually struck the person either, but copped a assault with a deadly weapons charge.. normal...

black youth in the 80s and 90s in Sac, LA, Passadeno, pretty much all of the Bay area, Compton, Watts, ect, none of them were real model citizens... but everyone is young at one point, and others do stupider things than the next...

you dont know his childhood, so how he became and did what he did, is anyones guess... unfortunate...

and fvck those cops, they were pussies that thought they could get away with something, and didnt.. they created the next worst thing to the Watts Riots, fvck them....
