Too bad. And after he had a dream...oh, wait, that was Martin Luther King. Rodney's legacy is a cynder block across your head!

Sure he got the beating, justified or not but what happened after that was not his doing.

Is this a reference to Reginald Denny getting pulled out of his truck and hit with a concrete block?

The 1992 Los Angeles riots

Reginald Denny beating

At approximately 6:45 pm, Reginald Oliver Denny, a white truck driver who stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of Florence and South Normandie Avenues, was dragged from his vehicle and severely beaten by a mob of local black residents as news helicopters hovered above, recording every blow, including a concrete fragment connecting with Denny's temple and a cinder block thrown at his head as he lay unconscious in the street.

Looks like a 3 million dollar settlement spent on hooch and dope, then an attempt to reclaim his life and family and a guest segment on Dr Drew celebrity peckerhead clinic which was looking like he had given serious attempts to change his ways,
but if what his female whatever claimed, he was smoking weed and boozing that day and sank to a new and unfortunate low in his life on the bottom of the pool. Thats about it.
