[QUOTE=thebanned1;1045854][URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18478979[/URL][/QUOTE] Great article , thank you. It was a very sad time , but at least it did change things for the better. Hopefully he will be remembered as he wanted to be remembered.

[FONT=arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#d3d3d3][quote]As for Rodney King himself, he got engaged to one of the jurors from his trial and published a book in 2012 titled The Riot Within: My Journey From Rebellion to Redemption.[/quote][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][quote][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#d3d3d3][FONT=arial]But he also struggled with drug and alcohol abuse and had several brushes with the law over the years, and he eventually lost all his money.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/quote][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#d3d3d3][FONT=arial] [/FONT] Yikes, so King marries one of the jurors after being awarded $3.8 million and then has several "brushes with the law," abuses drugs and alcohol and "looses all his money." That's sad. [/COLOR]

Let me try again, for Kamal

Too bad he'll never get a refund for the swimming lessons that whitney houston gave him.

Is.....is that what you're looking for? something along those lines? I mean, i can clean it up if you want. But take note: I want to make sure I'm always bringing my A-Game, and yes, i kinda agree Mr. Neutral Face, I could have definitely done better the first two times around.

Third times a charm?
