What draws all these idiots to Rialto that have gained a small bit of fame! He gains some Fame, then he wins some money in a Suit against the City of Los Angeles and more then likely at the advice of his Attorney, he was told to move somewhere outside of Los Angeles County, and Rialto was the great place that was decided upon? The question that always Pops up is WHY? Why always Rialto?? Since King has been in Rialto he has been arrested three or four times on Traffic Related Offenses such as Driving while intoxicated, Which would have been the original charge against King had he stopped running from the Police in 1991, when the so called beating occurred. Still I am one that doesn't believe that a beating Occurred, I observed as many did on Court TV the trial, and the Slow Motion Feed of that frame by Frame feed of the film where the so called "Beating" took place. The Jury in that case could only say that two (2) of the over 135+ strikes were unjustified,... 2 (two)! However I feel that it is the "Spirit of the law & not the Letter of the law" by which we follow, so when there is over some 135-140 strikes of a baton, and all but two are justified I say that there was a jury that was looking for a prosecution, as per the Judges Definition of what the "Violation of the law was" but there wasn't the talk of the "Spirit of the law or the letter of the Law now was there.
King should have been on trial and not the Law Enforcement Officers that Arrested him. At the very least if the law Enforcement Officers violated his Rights in any way, that should have been adjusted on the Police Officers Violation of their Crime, and not the violation of the Crimes that were committed by Rodney King. After all if there was to be a trial, Rodney King still should have been put onto trial for his violation of the traffic laws, and his violation of CVC 23152 (a) & (b) Driving while intoxicated with an alcohol level over .08% by volume.
King never served any time for that violation, and he was given a very large amount of cash for his part in this dance, while the police officers were fired and placed into jail!!
Now that he has been in Rialto he has had more contact with the police and every time he has had contact with the police it has made the news, However, each time that he has been arrested, or been "Shot" etc... the less news worthy he has become, soon he will be just the same as anyone on the street before people will be saying Rodney King?? who is Rodney King? why does that name sound so familiar?? Funny how the world twists and turns like that when you are truly the bad apple, and the people are starting to see you for who you are!! once you are shown for who you are, such as a Criminal and a "Felon" such as Rodney King is His popularity will become less and less, and really nobody that is of star power equal to him will want or feel safe being with him or next to him because he is a CRIMINAL and will always be viewed as such!!

Rodney King shot in San Bernardino
01:36 PM PST on Thursday, November 29, 2007
San Bernardino police detectives are interviewing Rodney King this afternoon, after his report that he was shot last night on a city street.
King, the 42-year-old Rialto resident whose 1991 beating by Los Angeles police gained him national fame, told Rialto police last night that he was shot in the area of 5th Street and Meridian Avenue in San Bernardino, just over the Rialto city line.
After saying he rode his bicycle home, King reported the shooting at 11:39 p.m.
When Rialto police arrived at the home, King had pellet wounds to his face, arm and back from a shotgun, said Rialto police Sgt. Don Lewis.
He was taken to a local hospital, but his wounds are not considered life-threatening.
San Bernardino police Lt. Scott Paterson said this morning that officers found no evidence of a crime scene in the area that King reported being shot.
The shooting was possibly sparked by some sort of domestic dispute, Paterson said, and that detectives will try to determine if it occurred in Rialto or San Bernardino.
Other details are scarce this afternoon. After police arrived at King's Jackson Street home, King and others inside appeared intoxicated, Lewis said, and few were cooperative in providing information.
Since gaining his fame, King has had several brushes with Inland police agencies, most recently a 2005 arrest on suspicion of domestic violence.
