They Have No Trouble Condemning Scott for Opinions on Riot

I guess Byron feels that all the dead, injured and burned-down buildings were OK because the people were angry. With that sort of logic, I would like to ask Byron if the next time I get angry at him for choking in a championship series game (again) or for shooting five for 20 in a game the Lakers lose, I can come over to his house or business, loot it, then set in on fire?

I don’t condone the Rodney King decision, nor do I condone the reckless violence of the riot, but at a time when the city of Los Angeles needs calming, it is completely irresponsible for a role model such as Byron Scott to say the things he did. Violence and destruction are never an answer for a problem.
