I was in LA when the Rodney King verdict was read. I was driving trucks a few blocks away from the center of the riot waiting picking up a load. The warehouse shut down and told all the drivers to get outta there. Instead of making a left like I normally would I made a right and went the long way to I-5 north. Close call, when I got to Bakersfield and looked at the news it was disaster. Oh by the way that warehouse I was at got destroyed burned to the ground. Missed me by that 🤏🏾 much. It's sad that a lot of riots are based on racism.
I was 10, even at that age seing that brutality on tv news scared me. For obvious reasons my parents considered was not good idea visit relatives in California after all the riots, since we live in northern México.
@@manueltapia1859 They made the right decision staying home, it was crazy. People throwing rocks at our trucks as we were trying to get outta there. We laid on horns grabbed a gear never slowed down, ran red lights until we got to I-5 nobody got in our way. (it was about 20 or 30 tractor/trailers) I definitely don't want to go through that again.
I watched a documentary on it, and the fact that they assaulted people that had nothing to do with it pisses me off. The black community sees a black man be a victim of police brutality, but they blame other innocent people that had nothing to do with it like hypocrites.
While the subject matter isn’t lovey-dovey, I always appreciate the fact that I learn something from each of your videos. Thanks Mike, and the staff of course, for all of the research that went into this video. Have a great weekend, and stay hydrated 😊❤
@@TheSnatchbuckler No. Actually, you are 100% wrong. You see, there is this thing called objective truth/evidence. A factor which plays a key role in determining fact from invented fantasy. We have heard the false claims which appear to have you siding with fantasy over objective fact. They were and still are entirely non-factual, with absolutely zero objective evidence to support the nonsense. It is strongly advised to obtain an education now, before we begin enforcing a long standing federal law for the first time in our nation's history. Because once convicted, there will be no turning back. Compulsory (mandatory) education. It is in fact, federal law. Just yet to be enforced is all.
I lived on the east side of Detroit in 1967. I was only six but I do recall see an armored vehicle and national guard jeeps going by and hearing gun shots from people sniping the 13th precinct a quarter mile away. Sadly Detroit never recovered as the “Great White Flight” to the suburbs caused a real estate market collapse. We lived in the city past me joining the Coast Guard when my parents finally left as well. Now Detroit looks like a bombed out relic. There are sparks of hope and renewal, however.
you forgot the 1964 LA Wats riot we still live with the aftermath of that incident. it was a turning point in race relations in southern cal. I lived thought it as a child and still have night mares about it at age 70. Glad to have you back Mike don't leave use again.
Could you tell more about the aftermath and how it's been a turning point? I'm European, Dutch actually, so I have no idea... Btw, I get that you'd still have nightmares, being only about 10 yrs old at the time. Take care and pls share. I'm really interested 🤗
@@dustylongThe riots that summer were sparked by the arrest of a black motorist, Marquette Frye, for drunk driving. When Frye’s mother intervened, a crowd gathered and the arrest became a flashpoint for anger against police. The deeper causes, as documented by the McCone Commission, which investigated the riots, were poverty, inequality, racial discrimination and the passage, in November 1964, of Proposition 14 on the California ballot. That initiative had overturned the Rumford Fair Housing Act, which established equality of opportunity for black home buyers. After nearly a week of rioting, 34 people, 25 of them black, were dead and more than 1,000 were injured. More than 600 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Thriving business districts, their stores mostly white-owned, were burned to the ground. Eventually, the National Guard put a cordon around a vast region of South Los Angeles that ranged as far east as Alameda Street, as far west as Crenshaw Boulevard, and from just south of the Santa Monica Freeway to about Rosecrans Avenue.
I lived in Los Angeles at the time of the LA Riots/Rodney King Riots. It was bizarre and frightening and I did see some violence, tho I lived literally at the border of Beverly Hills, manymiles from the 'war zone' across the city. I was forced to evacuate my workplace, with a Sheriff offering to drive me close to my home, a short walk away. When he dropped me off, he sped away suddenly, startling me, but also making him miss a horrible event. Two men chose to play chicken on Wilshire Boulevard right by the Beverly Center [a large and famous shopping mall] They slammed head on into each other, and hopped out as if uninjured, but I could see that they were both actually badly hurt. One had a baseball bat, the other grabbed a shovel from the back of his truck and they began to beat each other violently, screaming like rabid animals. I of course moved toward my home, walking quick, quiet and ducking into bushes until I could be out of their sight. They were really trying to kill each other right there, and never noticed me, thankfully. I was a 20 year old girl then, and was terrified of what they could do to me. The next day a family member drove down from Mojave to get me, as the violence had only started and we were seeing fires springing up, hearing gunshots and yelling, but we never had any damage in our neighborhood, thankfully. So I did get a tiny peek at how life is in war zones and riots... I swore to avoid such areas, to find safer places to live, and moved away from LA a few months later, never to return [barring a short stay while moving to Arizona in 2011.]
That's what I've seen it called in several different articles, so you are indeed thinking correctly, and we all must admit that Black Wall Street sounds way better than what I'm sure it was called back then. Good luck to you.
@@michaelj.beglinjr.2804 yes sir, I agree. Thanks for reaffirming my suspicion. I just wanted it put out there so others could learn about it. Knowing is half the battle. If we don't learn from our mistakes, we're doomed to repeat them. So, hopefully, these kind of injustices against minorities don't happen again.
It was only known as that after being rebuilt. He is 100% wrong about the riot. It only started after hundreds of black men, armed with guns, descended on the jail where "Dirty Dick" was being held. I don't know their intentions, but they were armed, and the couple dozen white men who they fought with were not. That initial clash saw 12 people die. 2 black, 10 white. That is when white men banded together and went to the Greenville neighborhood looking for retribution. That's not the right thing to do in my opinion, but it also wasn't the right thing to do when a mob of black men showed up armed to the jail. They came looking for violence, and they got it.
@@michaelj.beglinjr.2804 It didn't become known as "Black Wall Street " until long after it was rebuilt following the riots. He 100% misrepresented what happened in this video. If you care to, I explained further in a comment on this very thread. Read that, then do some looking for yourself. You'll see that you've been lied to.
@@TheSnatchbucklerYou forget to tell why they wanted to get Dick Rowland out. And btw, he wasn't "dirty". They went to get him, because white people were going to lynch him for something that he, most probably, didn't even do. There was already a mob of white people at the jail. White people in those days only needed the smallest excuse to kill black people. All because they couldn't stand the fact that Greenwood, being a black community, was thriving. Well, they got their way. After the riots Greenwood never thrived again. Much of it wasn't even rebuild, because even the government made sure that that wouldn't happen. All and all it was a very tragic situation, that has been swept under the rug for years. Until finally in 2015 it has been remembered and it came back into the media. There's been investigations since then, mostly to find out how many people were killed. Last in 2021. They're still not sure, but could be as many as 300. Btw, in 2021 Biden stated that it wasn't a riot, but a massacre. He was the first president to ever be at a memorial there.
Thank you for your demeanor during lists like this one. They information you provide can't always be easy to read, but your reactions are honest and always appreciated. Some of the lists I can't quite manage to watch yet, but keep up the good work.
Love the list as always, Mike and the team, but I thought that you would've mentioned the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya which eventually led to independence in Kenya in 1963.
I was stunned by the Rodney King verdict, and at the time, I lived in LA county, about 40 miles from his beating. It was dangerous to go around at that time, and an innocent man was dragged out of his truck, and beaten nearly to death by rioters. In an interview after he had recovered, he forgave the people who nearly killed him. He's a good man who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had rocks thrown at me as I drove, and I wanted to stop and tell them that I supported them, but I thought a wiser move would be to get the hell out of there. It was a scary time, and LA cops have gotten worse, not better.
I'm from tulsa, and I didn't hear about to race riot til I was in my teens. I'm 45 now. I'm so glad you're getting all these riots and uprisings out there for people to educate themselves
Mike here in México there was The Tlatelolco Massacre in October 2 1968 it started as a peaceful riot until the goverment sended snipers, bomber tanks to stopped the civilians including children!!! Between 300-400 people lost their lives. Even is a small number of casualties.
Tulsa Riots weren't taught in my school growing up i read about it during a debate in my social studies classroom . My U.S history teacher never taught it. History is written by those in charge i realized and i went off on my own to learn more. That was in catholic school. glossed over a whole heck of alot.
I remember the L.A. riots vividly. It was on tv day and night and it’s all anyone talked about. It sparked some race fights in my town and fortunately they didn’t grow any bigger than they were. Those riots were divisive everywhere, not just L.A.
Many occurred in my lifetime... yes I'm that old. Was in a skyscraper on the outskirts of downtown LA giving a deposition related to a car accident. We were in an inner room on an upper floor when a staff member came in and said to wrap it up and to leave the building within an hour. He explained there was rioting. We went to a window and about two blocks away we could see the fires. Thankfully we were pretty much done so could leave right away. Again thankfully our way home was in the opposite direction. The police officers should had have been charged. During the riot a truck driver was pulled from his rig and a brick thrown at him that struck him in the head causing a pretty severe concussion. A judge determined a brick was not a lethal weapon so the thrower got off light. Another travesty of justice.
I lived in South Central when the Rodney King verdict was announced. The eruption of violence and looting were almost immediate. I remember having to constantly be on the floor of our apartment from all the gunfire that could be heard. The police were in such a force, it was terrifying. There was even a Klan march down Figueroa Street. It was some of the most terrifying thing I've had to endure. The fires were literally on the other side of the freeway on Broadway, maybe 3 blocks away from where we lived. Also, how could you forget about the Rosewood massacre that happened right here in Florida? It's never talked about. That was a tragedy that shouldn't have happened, just like the Tulsa massacre.
The Haymarket affair, also known as the Haymarket massacre, the Haymarket riot, the Haymarket Square riot, or the Haymarket Incident, was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois, United States.[2] The rally began peacefully in support of workers striking for an eight-hour work day, the day after the events at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, during which one person was killed and many workers injured.[3] An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at the police as they acted to disperse the meeting, and the bomb blast and ensuing gunfire caused the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; dozens of others were wounded.[3]
You mean like the summer of love’s mostly peaceful riots that caused billions in damages, dozens dead and thousands injured? Oh you forgot about that one didn’t you?
@@sheilaholmes996 --- You have to admit that while The Insurrection did indeed get violent, I must agree with List25 on this one. January 6th was nowhere close to being violent enough to make this particular list, as only one person was killed by the police. Some of these other riots had death tolls of hundreds, if not thousands. Good luck to you. Edit: China had one in the tens of thousands, and India had one with over a million, so...
@@sheilaholmes996 ---Beaten and bear-sprayed is much better than being outright murdered, so January 6th simply is not violent enough to make this list. I'm sure it will be on many future ones though, like "Top 25 Attempts to Overthrow a Government", or "Top 25 Most Shameful Mobs".
Growing up in the 60's just north of Madison, WI I was aware of a bunch of demonstrations and a few minor riots. We were the unlucky-est class. Our 6th grade trip to DC was cancelled because of anti war demonstrations. Our 8th grade trip to the State Capital in Madison was also cancelled for the same reason. Our 8th grade trip to Chicago for the Museum of Science and Industry was almost cancelled because the Chicago 7 trials were happening and there were constant demonstrations because of it. I was aware of many of the riots mentioned. The Rodney King/LA riot was live on TV so I saw quite a bit of it as it happened.
Another well done video, other than sound effects with transition graphics. Little excessive graphics and sound distract my aging brain, and i skip to another video. Dump the fancy editing software to win me over.
Fine work, Mike, and your crew. A quick but pretty well explained list on a difficult topic. One I would add is one that needs to be added to nearly all histories of U.S. riots is: 1943 Detroit. Yes, during the supposedly good-war years, when we are told we all put differences aside, Detroit, the most important military production city in the Allied world, was ravaged by three days and three nights of rioting that amounted to open warfare. FDR had to divert troops who were about to go fight the actual war to put down this one. Mobs of whites -- fueled by reports of a white child being pushed off a bridge by blacks attacked blacks and black neighborhoods. In those neighborhoods, the rumor was the opposite -- that a group of whites had pushed a black child off a bridge. Both rumors were false. But resentment and fear by whites (including many who recently came up from the south) against blacks moving into the city caused the worst rioting in U.S. history. The federal government's wartime censorship kept the whole thing off the radio, and off wire services, hence out of newspapers for years. To this day, the Detroit 1943 riots are the great uncovered story of the last hundred years.
I just want to point out that Mike correctly pronounces more Non-English words than any other American UA-camr I've ever watched. Thank God for geeks. 🤓😍
I would have thought that the Attica Riots in 1971 might be belonged low on the list. While not many lives were lost, it proved to be a pivotal time in prison reform.
Rodney king could be on a list of ppl Who shouldn't be given their settlements all at once Like lottery winners.... friends, family & acquaintances all "attack" them
I worked in southeast texas doing home health during the Rodney King situation. Several white nurses were stopped going into black neighborhoods and refused entry. I never was, but my husband insisted on driving me into areas he felt were unsafe
I'm kinda surprised not to see the 1600s Chinese uprisings in here. I've run across mentions of bandit armies some 2 million strong in uprisings lasting months, with entire towns being besieged and massacred. Some of those may have been better picks for #1.
Not in the same league as the top 25, but Angola, Indiana once threw a riot against the Methodist church, throwing rocks and chasing the minister out of town. I suspect they then had a picnic with fried chicken, hot dogs, macaroni salad, and jello.
I think number 1 was right. I mean your list was real comprehensive considering. In my own country we have the Wat Tyler peasants revolt, the Gordon riots and Peterloo massacre. The Arab spring has had a lasting effect, the storming of your Senate was a shock for Americans. The Watts riots. Amritzer in India was heartbreaking. But yes the British just walking away from their responsibilities in india and Palestine are mirrored by the Americans in Iraq. You have to have a withdrawal policy in place if you don't expect there to be anarchy after you leave. But let's face facts here THAT IS THEIR POLICY they want to leave behind them weakened and failed states so the natural resources are easier to steal I mean, if I know this, then the powers that be sure as shit know. The only way not to lose the game is to not play it in the first place. Let the children cry, it will look good on the TV.
It's sad to see all this oppression that mankind created just reminds me of what Solomon said at : Ecclesiastes 8:9 "THAT MAN HAS DOMINATED MAN TO HIS HARM".
My brother Mike, I love you man, but this is one video I have to skip. This is the kind of violence ages. It hurts my soul. But it does need to be seen so ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼‼️‼️‼️
You forgot to mention the so called summer of love riots where billions of property damage dozens killed and thousands wounded. Also, you failed to mention that when Rodney king was pulled over, he was speeding while drunk and under the use of PCP, which gave him super power to fight the four officers who tried to arrest him which led to them having to use excessive force. You really should give all the facts of an event. You make it sound like he was a model Citroen driving and minding his own business and then randomly chosen and brutally beaten.
@@sheilaholmes996 he absolutely did. He was nothing more than a waste of space and a parasite. He had a rap sheet longer than a school bus, he had history of driving under the influence. Just because he was lucky to not kill anyone doesn’t make his life worth anything. He deserved everything that he got and I’m glad the cops didn’t get convicted. Wish we could have more jurors with balls like that today instead of the ones that convicted the cop who was doing his job for the death of that waste of space George Floyd.
@@michaellovely6601 let’s clarify the facts. Don’t for one second think he was only on alcohol. He was found speeding by CHP. when they tried to stop him, he refused (later claiming he couldn’t have another DUI or he would violate his parole for armed robbery), and led police to chase whee speeds were up to 115 MPH. They did find alcohol, cocaine, and PCP in his system, but due to the fact that his ass whipping took center stage, they chose to keep that out of the media. Ironically he drowned 20 years later wit the same cocktail in his system. This guy was a career criminal who didn’t care about anyone else’s life. So yea he deserved he beating and not only there should have not been any trial, he should have never got a civil judgement. Thank god he is finally 6 feet under. Should have been much sooner.
The Palestinian Arabs didn't refer to themselves as Palestinian until the mid-nineteen sixties and you left out the fact that Jordan was created by that division.
But you never mentioned Israel not once you actually referred to Israel as Palestine wtf haha but honestly how am I supposed to believe anything this channel says if it's going to misrepresent know facts of well
Nope. We tried that before. We want people to watch our content. Watch time is a big thing with UA-cam and if the entire list can be read in the description, that honestly hurts us.
Mike if you didn't return to UA-cam and to List 25, I would have started a riot!

It's too late! Flip your computer desk!

We were in an inner room on an upper floor when a staff member came in and said to wrap it up and to leave the building within an hour. He explained there was rioting. We went to a window and about two blocks away we could see the fires. Thankfully we were pretty much done so could leave right away. Again thankfully our way home was in the opposite direction. The police officers should had have been charged. During the riot a truck driver was pulled from his rig and a brick thrown at him that struck him in the head causing a pretty severe concussion. A judge determined a brick was not a lethal weapon so the thrower got off light. Another travesty of justice.
I love mike list 25
I lived in South Central when the Rodney King verdict was announced. The eruption of violence and looting were almost immediate. I remember having to constantly be on the floor of our apartment from all the gunfire that could be heard. The police were in such a force, it was terrifying. There was even a Klan march down Figueroa Street. It was some of the most terrifying thing I've had to endure. The fires were literally on the other side of the freeway on Broadway, maybe 3 blocks away from where we lived.
Also, how could you forget about the Rosewood massacre that happened right here in Florida? It's never talked about. That was a tragedy that shouldn't have happened, just like the Tulsa massacre.
The Haymarket affair, also known as the Haymarket massacre, the Haymarket riot, the Haymarket Square riot, or the Haymarket Incident, was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois, United States.[2] The rally began peacefully in support of workers striking for an eight-hour work day, the day after the events at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, during which one person was killed and many workers injured.[3] An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at the police as they acted to disperse the meeting, and the bomb blast and ensuing gunfire caused the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; dozens of others were wounded.[3]
I would have include the one that took over the Bastille!
The January 6 Washington DC should be on this list
While that was indeed a terrible day, I'm not so sure it cracks the top-25 of a "most violent" list.
You mean like the summer of love’s mostly peaceful riots that caused billions in damages, dozens dead and thousands injured? Oh you forgot about that one didn’t you?
@@list25I think the cops that got beat and bear sprayed by those ignorant jerks may feel differently.
@@sheilaholmes996 --- You have to admit that while The Insurrection did indeed get violent, I must agree with List25 on this one. January 6th was nowhere close to being violent enough to make this particular list, as only one person was killed by the police. Some of these other riots had death tolls of hundreds, if not thousands. Good luck to you.
Edit: China had one in the tens of thousands, and India had one with over a million, so...
@@sheilaholmes996 ---Beaten and bear-sprayed is much better than being outright murdered, so January 6th simply is not violent enough to make this list. I'm sure it will be on many future ones though, like "Top 25 Attempts to Overthrow a Government", or "Top 25 Most Shameful Mobs".
Growing up in the 60's just north of Madison, WI I was aware of a bunch of demonstrations and a few minor riots. We were the unlucky-est class. Our 6th grade trip to DC was cancelled because of anti war demonstrations. Our 8th grade trip to the State Capital in Madison was also cancelled for the same reason. Our 8th grade trip to Chicago for the Museum of Science and Industry was almost cancelled because the Chicago 7 trials were happening and there were constant demonstrations because of it.
I was aware of many of the riots mentioned. The Rodney King/LA riot was live on TV so I saw quite a bit of it as it happened.
Another well done video, other than sound effects with transition graphics. Little excessive graphics and sound distract my aging brain, and i skip to another video. Dump the fancy editing software to win me over.
Fine work, Mike, and your crew. A quick but pretty well explained list on a difficult topic. One I would add is one that needs to be added to nearly all histories of U.S. riots is: 1943 Detroit. Yes, during the supposedly good-war years, when we are told we all put differences aside, Detroit, the most important military production city in the Allied world, was ravaged by three days and three nights of rioting that amounted to open warfare. FDR had to divert troops who were about to go fight the actual war to put down this one. Mobs of whites -- fueled by reports of a white child being pushed off a bridge by blacks attacked blacks and black neighborhoods. In those neighborhoods, the rumor was the opposite -- that a group of whites had pushed a black child off a bridge. Both rumors were false. But resentment and fear by whites (including many who recently came up from the south) against blacks moving into the city caused the worst rioting in U.S. history.
The federal government's wartime censorship kept the whole thing off the radio, and off wire services, hence out of newspapers for years. To this day, the Detroit 1943 riots are the great uncovered story of the last hundred years.
I just want to point out that Mike correctly pronounces more Non-English words than any other American UA-camr I've ever watched.
Thank God for geeks. 🤓😍
I love your shirt. That is my favorite anime of all time.
Same
I would have thought that the Attica Riots in 1971 might be belonged low on the list. While not many lives were lost, it proved to be a pivotal time in prison reform.
Rodney king could be on a list of ppl
Who shouldn't be given their settlements all at once
Like lottery winners.... friends, family & acquaintances all "attack" them
I worked in southeast texas doing home health during the Rodney King situation. Several white nurses were stopped going into black neighborhoods and refused entry. I never was, but my husband insisted on driving me into areas he felt were unsafe
I'm kinda surprised not to see the 1600s Chinese uprisings in here. I've run across mentions of bandit armies some 2 million strong in uprisings lasting months, with entire towns being besieged and massacred. Some of those may have been better picks for #1.
I would have included The Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1944.
What about the 2001 G8 clashes in Genoa?
So sad. Welcome to the human race.
Not in the same league as the top 25, but Angola, Indiana once threw a riot against the Methodist church, throwing rocks and chasing the minister out of town. I suspect they then had a picnic with fried chicken, hot dogs, macaroni salad, and jello.
So glad you are back!
My parents got married on July 22, 1967 in Detroit. My dad always joked that he caused the riot because he got married. He thought he waa funny.
Isn't Humanity wonderful?
I think number 1 was right.
I mean your list was real comprehensive considering.
In my own country we have the Wat Tyler peasants revolt, the Gordon riots and Peterloo massacre.
The Arab spring has had a lasting effect, the storming of your Senate was a shock for Americans. The Watts riots. Amritzer in India was heartbreaking.
But yes the British just walking away from their responsibilities in india and Palestine are mirrored by the Americans in Iraq.
You have to have a withdrawal policy in place if you don't expect there to be anarchy after you leave.
But let's face facts here THAT IS THEIR POLICY they want to leave behind them weakened and failed states so the natural resources are easier to steal
I mean, if I know this, then the powers that be sure as shit know.
The only way not to lose the game is to not play it in the first place.
Let the children cry, it will look good on the TV.
It's sad to see all this oppression that mankind created just reminds me of what Solomon said at :
Ecclesiastes 8:9
"THAT MAN HAS DOMINATED MAN TO HIS HARM".
Don’t forget the 2011 Arab Spring and the 1994 Rwandan Genocide
Syria.
Is Tristan coming back?
I'm honestly not sure.
My brother Mike, I love you man, but this is one video I have to skip. This is the kind of violence ages. It hurts my soul. But it does need to be seen so ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼‼️‼️‼️
Understandable
#6 China wonders why they're frowned upon. That's putting it lightly.
You forgot to mention the so called summer of love riots where billions of property damage dozens killed and thousands wounded.
Also, you failed to mention that when Rodney king was pulled over, he was speeding while drunk and under the use of PCP, which gave him super power to fight the four officers who tried to arrest him which led to them having to use excessive force. You really should give all the facts of an event. You make it sound like he was a model Citroen driving and minding his own business and then randomly chosen and brutally beaten.
No matter what he did he didn’t deserve the shit beat out of him.
@@sheilaholmes996 he absolutely did. He was nothing more than a waste of space and a parasite. He had a rap sheet longer than a school bus, he had history of driving under the influence. Just because he was lucky to not kill anyone doesn’t make his life worth anything. He deserved everything that he got and I’m glad the cops didn’t get convicted. Wish we could have more jurors with balls like that today instead of the ones that convicted the cop who was doing his job for the death of that waste of space George Floyd.
From what I understand; while Rodney King was drunk, a toxicology screening ultimately determined that there was no PCP in his system.
@@michaellovely6601 let’s clarify the facts. Don’t for one second think he was only on alcohol. He was found speeding by CHP. when they tried to stop him, he refused (later claiming he couldn’t have another DUI or he would violate his parole for armed robbery), and led police to chase whee speeds were up to 115 MPH. They did find alcohol, cocaine, and PCP in his system, but due to the fact that his ass whipping took center stage, they chose to keep that out of the media. Ironically he drowned 20 years later wit the same cocktail in his system. This guy was a career criminal who didn’t care about anyone else’s life. So yea he deserved he beating and not only there should have not been any trial, he should have never got a civil judgement. Thank god he is finally 6 feet under. Should have been much sooner.
1992 was the year of the riots

The Palestinian Arabs didn't refer to themselves as Palestinian until the mid-nineteen sixties and you left out the fact that Jordan was created by that division.
It's not joon-tah, it's pronounced "hoon-tah"
why are the writers trying to traumatize Mike?
It's been a dark few videos lol
During a Passover feast a Roman solder mooned the Jews and let out a massive fart.
It led to an instant riot that left 10,000 people dead.
Why do enemy countries always refer to the other as a regime 😂😂….
21:40 did mike just say exasturbated? lmao freudian slip!
thought you'll might like this vid i did
But you never mentioned Israel not once you actually referred to Israel as Palestine wtf haha but honestly how am I supposed to believe anything this channel says if it's going to misrepresent know facts of well
The problem with these riots , also wars is religion is a mental disease example the Indian subcontinent situation, still on going .
All buzz words
Where did those prisoners killed with automatic weapons get those automatic weapons ......
Enquiring minds wanna no😅
name the fucking chapters
Nope. We tried that before. We want people to watch our content. Watch time is a big thing with UA-cam and if the entire list can be read in the description, that honestly hurts us.
@@list25 too fucking bad
Funny, I was thinking the same thing lol
@@list25 😅😅😅
Always there is someone that feels a sense of entitlement😢
What's Up List 25 I Don't Suspose You Have A Top 25 List Of Massacres?
From Joseph Tanner From Orlando, Florida
I noticed that when you mentioned the USA your attitude was accusingly negative to the U. S....
and?
I noticed he didn't chant "nica" more than once
