All people remember is that a black dude got the shit kicked out of him by the cops that subsequently started a massive riot. No one remembers that he was a convicted felon that lead the police on a high speed chase while having an estimated BAC of .19. Was it right for them to kick the shit out of him? No.... Am I saddened by him taking a dirt nap? Not really....

Yet here we are suppose to mourn his passing. lol

Nobody's asking you to mourn his passing.

The guy was certainly no role model (and he seemed perfectly aware of his own shortcomings), but I never thought he rose to the level of "good riddance" either.
