Oh no....my heart bleeds with sympathy. A guy who is intoxicated, and uncooperative gets in a fight and gets a boo-boo (and let's face it, if he can still ride his bike home, it's just a boo-boo. Hell, Cheney shot an old man in the face with birdshot and the guy was fine. Rodney king now got hit with the same stuff. BFD).
Not only that but this quote kinda struck me:
King rode his bicycle home after the incident and it was not immediately clear who fired the shot, Lewis said.
If it's unclear who shot first, it means King had a gun on him as well. So not only is he intoxicated and uncooperative, he's armed as well.
Pardon me if I'm not exactly moved to rally in his support.
