I would guess that he will be a footnote in history at best archived in the news stories of the times, seldom looked upon, and mostly forgotten. I do not say that to belittle Rodney King but more to point out that far too many other events rise much higher on history's scale. For all that transpired in that situation, I am still not sure we know we really know what happened and how...much like the Trayvan Martin incident. King's untimely death will bring the subject to the surface for a day or two, then the story will go back into the dusty archives of eternity. WB
