Our second anniversary is in nine days

But there are some anniversaries today: today is the 15th anniversary of the Sky Tower's opening, but it's also the 21st anniversary of Rodney King being savagely beaten by four LAPD officers. That is one of the worst examples of white-on-black crime in history, and it should never have happened. Their acquittal by an 83.3% (ten out of twelve jurors) white jury in a state court caused widespread rioting throughout LA, and even after a federal trial resulted in two of the officers going to jail, the other two still got off. That was just horrible and unnecessary. If I were the presiding judge in the state trial, I would've overridden the jury's not guilty verdicts and had those nutjobs put in the stocks for a well-deserved dose of public humiliation.
