At least in the news coverage of the rodney king riots in LA, I never saw any police presence. A friend actually lived there at the time and he said the same.

Speaking of Zimmerman, if he had simply waited for the police INSIDE HIS TRUCK, there would have been no shooting/trial.

Think of the stress he went through going to trial plus the legal bills (lawyers don't work cheap). All preventable by merely locking the doors and staying inside the safest space available, his truck.

Thumbs down Once Again....

husky man just _has_ to open his festering gobutet and speak about that of which he knows nothing .

One of my buddies was a draft dodger and so joined the California national Guard, of course he got sent into South Central L.A. during the 1967 riots, a bunch of mostly white kids all with empty rifles riding around Compton in the back of a deuce and a half, prime targets, no one got hurt when he was on patrol, they'd have bugged out right quick with no ammo .

The truth about george zimmerman is : he went out hunting and shot and killed a 14 year old child who had a bag of candy in one hand and his cell 'phone in the other .

Any other narrative is false by cowardly racists .

I don't particularly like black folks yet I live in the South Central Ghetto of Los Angeles so I know the facts and am not afraid as so many here are .

In 1992 I'd just met a Jamaican woman and took her to the beach when the riots in L.A. had begun, there were a bunch of white kids having fun on the beach in Malibu when we showed up , as soon as they saw her they scattered like cockroaches when you tun on the kitchen light .

Fear is a great motivator, it can and is used against many weak minded to more easily control them .

Part of being an American Citizen is the right no NOT BE AFRAID .

husky man and others seem to enjoy scaring them selves constantly .

Me, when I want to be afraid I ride a creaky old wooden roller coaster and I always sit right in front ~ that'll pucker your cheeks right good .

No, he followed the poor kid for several blocks and go out and confronted him, the kids was murdered in cold blood by a cowardly racist @$$#ole .

No need to lock your doors when you're out hunting .

Your friend is a bald faced liar if he even exists ~ you often make up non existent friends to buttress your bullcrap stories .

One of the L.A.P.D. staging points in South Central was an M.T.A. buss yard ~ they moved al the buses out and filled it with police and support equipments .

One of the things they kept in a corner was a dead guy (guess what race ?) to show the delivery drivers who got paid over time to deliver meals, water and so on and wanted to see death up close and personal without being in danger .

The delivery trucks were caravaned with patrol cars full of armed L.A.P.D. .

Please stop making such a public fool of your self husky man .

? Have you no shame / self respect at all ? .

You don't see me making endless posts about my adventures and there are many, no point in bragging if you actually know what you're talking about .

I don't see any Veterans bragging about firefights here either .

Get a clue you retard .

One thing for sure, neither myself, nor my friends or enemies should ever take a job with a boss who is named David. BIG MISTAKE.

You'll get ulcers, you'll begin to question your sanity, you'll come home from work with a bundle of nerves. NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THE COMPANY PAYS YOU, IT SIMPLY IS NOT WORTH IT TO WORK FOR A DAVID.

Of course, THEY think they are perfectly normal and everyone else has the problem. Another thing I've learned about Davids is under no circumstances will they keep a secret. They will rat your business from the highest hill in town. Count on it.
you seriously are believing in a book that dissects names letter by letter?

I wonder if it explains what names in other languages mean..


and back to topic!! - have you ever lived in actual real martial law? - not imagination or movies or dreaming in google libraries but actual real life live and breathe in enforced martial law?

I have first hand knowledge of a fortune 500 company that has placed two davids in positions of authority. On the minimum, their management decisions have cost the company millions. If only the shareholders had a clue.....

Since David is an ancient Hebrew name, I wonder what those Hebrew letters mean. Did they even have “D”s? Would that change the (alleged) argument about what the D stands for?

I'm always surprised at just how LITTLE some investors know about the inner and outer workings of the companies they are invested in.

Sometimes just a simple interface with the sales and/or customer service department will reveal a boat load of information.

I'm always amazed at the hiring practices of many companies. They place total morons in charge who then proceed at full speed to make every bad business/hiring decision they can in the least amount of time possible.

These bad hiring decisions coupled with just plain bad business decisions end up costing the company $$$$$$$$ and yet, the board of directors and president of the business remain CLUELESS.

Occupied.

Great. Take a nap, and don't go to a location where they prosecute you for bad spelling.


It seems to be endemic here on this site.

In other words you are making it up.

That was not an investment firm calling you, it was a Nigerian Prince. He called me too.

I wish it had been a Nigerian Prince because I was one of the creditors who lost big $$$$$$ in the deal. Let's just say myself and thousands of other creditors and shareholders got a REAL lesson in Chapter 11 Federal Bankruptcy.
