Derek believes the focus on Rodney King rather than the police officers is mind-blowing.

Derek believes the notion that society has an obligation to help the struggling black man or cut him slack to overcome historical injustices is "crap" and "liberal nonsense" that perpetuates problems.

Derek believes attributing crime to poverty or riots to rage alleviates personal responsibility for actions.

Derek believes the fact that people looted stores in their own communities reflects their absolute lack of respect for the law and no concept of community or civic responsibility.

Derek believes calling a riot an irrational expression of rage is a cop-out.

Derek believes the police officers involved in the Rodney King incident were defending themselves using standard textbook self-defense procedures.
