Define everybody? Here I think you are limiting yourself by only including a person everyone in the US knows. I would suggest that if I lived in Venezuela, the death of an old athlete turned sports journalist could also draw the same type of reaction there, that Rodney King would draw here. How famous was Rodney King? Do you think he was so famous that your everyday Joe in China would know who he is?...
I would suggest that those who cared so deeply was the minority. I follow many trials just as hobby, but the trial of Jackson's Doctor- I paid no attention. I didn't care. The media cared, I didn't and I do not know one person who did.
So I would not suggest that the Rodney King beating was the cause of the LA Riots, he was just another symptom. Another turn of the knob which turned up the heat on the tea kettle. When the Police were found not guilty- even with video taped evidence showing otherwise- the kettle boiled over.
You also can not disprove it. You are marrying yourself to this idea of ritual sacrifice based on numbers which can be manipulated as I have shown, and completely disregarding what is also a very strong possibility and where the evidence is leading. People get drunk, people get high, and people have fallen or went swimming and drowned as a result. Accidents do in fact happen and not everything is a conspiracy.
On April 29, 1992, the seventh day of jury deliberations, the jury acquitted all four officers of assault and acquitted three of the four of using excessive force. The jury could not agree on a verdict for the fourth officer charged with using excessive force.[16] The verdicts were based in part on the first three seconds of a blurry, 13-second segment of the video tape that, according to journalist Lou Cannon, was edited out by television news stations in their broadcasts.[19]
240p video of a monitor of a YouTube Prophet that sounds as if they urgently need sleep, we have that.
So the numerous deaths that occur are not a "blood sacrifice" -- only those that are garnering media attention and blown out of proportion? Just wondering because Treyvon wasn't the only young man to die that day nor was Mr. King on the day of his death.

A lot of people don't realize that Rodney King was also high as balls on some pcp when he got that beating. If you are aware of the effects of pcp you could see how this might happen. Unless the sources describing the situation are lying, which I suppose is possible.

I didn't take it that way, but then again, I've accidentally done the stuff once. Crazy, crazy effects.
