Today in History (April 29th): Rioting erupted in Los Angeles after a jury acquitted four Los Angeles police officers of almost all charges in the videotaped beating of Rodney King. Fifty-four people were killed. [Wikipedia.org] I remember watching this on TV at my house in Bloomington. I can't believe that it's been 16 years since. Paul Till has a different memory of this event:
"That REALLY brings back memories?? Tillbilly was sitting on top of a "Hummer" at "Camp Pendleton" watching "Fox Company II Battalion" prepare to deploy to L.A. and put an end to the madness. I can tell you there were a lot of confused Marines that day!!! They were fully armed to the hilt and extremely nervous. It is a really good thing they quit rioting...."
