This is by far, the most underrated channel on You Tube. The time it takes for these videos I'm sure is extensive. I'm always anticipating what you will choose to show us next. Thank you Forrest.
@@MrChadheadb i stayed at a hotel in aurora colorado overlooking the movie theatre where the batman movie shooting took place. very eerie would make for a good video i think.
I was living in Tujunga at that time, and would enter, and exit the 210 from Sunland almost daily. I knew he was beaten close to Hansen Dam, but didn't know it was there. When the riots broke out I was working in Santa Monica, but was asked to help a company do a mock up at the LA convention center. We had to lock ourselves inside until the next afternoon. We spent the night boarding up all the doors so they couldn't get in. Very scary night as they broke through the first set of doors, and lit all the cars, and palm trees on fire around us. As usual another great video. Great detail on the specific locations thank you.
Reginald Denny lived in Covina, and a close friend of mine saw him at Home Depot not long after the riots. It was incredible that he survived the horrific assault. I remember it vividly. Another great video, Forrest 👍🏼
Chuck Roast honestly, I don’t recall the exact street. He lives in Arizona now. I worked for a third-party administrator that handled his pension, and I had his information back in 1995-96
On a side note , on the night that this took place, the bar scene for terminator 2 was being filmed at the same time the beating happened. The bar which was located on Osborne st and stonehurst ave is now gone and a library sits in its place.
Another great upload Forrest! Can you do one on Pablo Escobar His mansions US and Colombia, his Zoo, bombing of federal building to destroy evidence against him and he’s chase and eventual death by police
fantastic video Mr H. i find it astonishing that there were riots over him being beaten yet nobody battered an eyelid that he drove 80mph intoxicated where he could of easily killed an innocent kid , no, he didnt deserve the treatment by people who uphold the law.... but i cant help but feel this was a pitiful excuse to riot and loot! We had the same thing with the london riots...jmo
the riots were because the cops who beat him got off with no punishment. but youre right on everything else. 2 wrongs dont make a right. the dumbest looters i ever saw were during Hurricane Katrina. looters were walking out with big screen tv's despite not having electricity for months, and their houses were under water anyways.
A great video as always, Forrest. I love how your vids are factual and there are no political sides or personal opinions inserted. That's a rarity these days. Thank you for that.
Thank you for doing this Forrest. This has been on my mind for a while. Was living in LA during this whole thing. Great job. Always looking forward to your videos :)))
@@forresthaggertychannel4301 I was living in Angelino Heights. So close to Dodger Stadium. I remember they closed the schools and couldn't leave the house due to all the smoke from the fires. Pretty scary!
I honestly never knew why rodney king was relevant other than being beat. Now i realise he was never relevant. He was just a common criminal running from the cops. Yes the beatings where disgusting and absurd. But really, we rioted over a repeat offender who has never done anything for no one probably ever. Pretty disgusting on all levels.
One of the biggest contributors to the riot was the outcome of a murder trial. A 13year old black girl went to a store one morning and was shot to death by a old Chinese woman who probably had been robbed to many times. She was found not guilty of murder and walked. Another big factor was the LAPD was run in a military fashion by the chief (who bragged about the fact) to routinely in a allmost natzi fashion targeted poorer people beatings were common. I knew a guy who lived in the area. The beatings were payback for what had become standard police practice. My suggestion, police your police as it is happening again. In my opinion,it's a cowardice goof move to smash a Starbucks window when a cop kills someone. The tree of freedom is watered with blood? Time to put out or shut up,roll on the station house of offending cop and burn it to the ground. Yes some will die like l said time to water the tree....but it will make them behave with respect from fear as these type of people deep down are weak cowardice bullies. This l will add is not a description of all police most are decent.
Thank you Forrest for another excellent video. The recent riots have had me thinking a lot lately about the Rodney King incident and the riots that followed it. Your video really put it in context for me. I remember seeing the first CNN broadcasts of the video and watching the subsequent events unfold. During all of that, the context and details that you lay out were never provided. Your video is not only well-timed given all that is going on now, but eerily just shy of the 18th anniversary of Rodney King's death. Please keep doing your excellent videos. At some point your channel is going to blow up, it is just too good not to.
4:20am here in the UK and I thought to myself I wonder when he’s going to upload a new video and boom there it was!.. oh well, sleep will have to wait another few mins..
I've watched all your videos and excellent job as usual. Of course, right after watching this I went and watched the original beating video from that night.
I'm always here when you upload a video. And I love this kind of videos because it allows me to learn a little bit about general history that involves the United States. It may not be relevant information, but it is always interesting to know a little bit more. As always, my dear Forrest, greetings from Argentina!
Such a poignant ending! When you zoomed out, my hair stood up! It puts things into perspective to view ourselves as an alien observer might. The Rodney King beating was a seismically massive historical event, but it was also relatively tiny in terms of the scale of earth and our cosmos. We must look like fools to anyone watching us from above. Anyway, absolutely awesome video! Thank you so much for this incredible content!
Alright another awesome video from the master Mr. Forrest. I remember all that craziness in LA that year. I just can't remember how Rodney King died. Thanks again Forrest,one interesting channel for sure.😉
Hi Forrest, I always enjoy your videos so thanks for giving up your time to make them for us. They're much appreciated! May i cheekily suggest a video on the Unabomber? No one seems to know exactly where the cabin was but If anyone can figure it out, you're the man! Thanks
With the devolution of the Discovery Channel and other "fact-based TV Programming", your channel has become one of my most important resources for historically and factually accurate information. Keep up the good work.
Great video. I discovered your channel about a month ago. Love the details and back story provided. You could actually make two videos with all that happened during the Riots, such as the police command post area, police headquarters and Koreatown. Also, if you get a chance, the North Hollywood Shootout from 1997 would be a good one to do.
Please keep up with the awesome content and cover more on crime, serial killers, and other famous/infamous sites! I am learning a lot and very entertaining to watch! Subscribed! EDIT: Please do the Wineville chicken coop murders which happened in CA! It became a film (Changeling with Angie Jolie) and I think it's a very interesting since the home/farm still exists!
Forrest Haggerty is no joke. I love your channel dude. What happened to Rodney King was awful and the riots that followed were just heartbreaking. I’ll never forget this case
you so gotta cover the flight path and locations leading up to buddy holly, richie valens, and the big bopper's plane crash, thats be insanely interesting, you give so much detail and facts that i feel it'd be an amazing cover
Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it but the bar used in the movie Terminator 2 sat on the same spot where that new building is now just behind where Rodney King was beaten.
Done very well Forrest and I thank you for telling the story so we all can know what happened. Rodney's question is still important, "Can We Get Along" and even more as the US and the world is bursting open with racial violence. Law and order hangs in the balance as people take sides on the left or right. If God does not intervene, this may be the end of America as a free nation. My prayer is for peace and as Rodney said, "Can We Get Along?" - Very good video!!
Great video as always, Forrest. I love your channel. I remember the Rodney King incident and seeing it on the news here in the UK. It sickened me.... I felt shame for the actions of my fellow officers across the pond; as I was a serving British policeman at the time. BUT, (and there's always a but), the subsequent criminality, brutality and riots were NOT in Rodney King's name. These animals did not want justice, they wanted an excuse for a free TV, booze and to set fire to shit!! Nothing has changed historically since then. What IS the malfunction of these criminals who claim to be seeking "justice" against the system? Do they actually sit at home and think... I know... let's protest against that unlawful behaviour by setting fire to stuff, beating up innocent people and then stealing and robbing shit.
I think a great video for you to make next would be about the Lindbergh baby. Fascinating story culminating with "the trial of the century" with multiple historic locations. 👍
commenting to show support, i love these video man!!! history lessons using google maps, we need to get this channel to 1m subscribers !!!!! ima keep showing support and liking etc , and just like the comment below, i actually look forward to your uploads , doesnt matter when or where, if you have a new video i watch it asap! thanks forrest !!
I was living in Glendale and thinking that this was happening nearby. Then came the most significant riot since Watts in ’65. I remember being scared. Now I'm old and I don't want think about what good young people will be forced to endure in the future.
It would be super cool if you could make a similar video locating the landing/crashing sight of the Indian Lunar Probe Chandrayaan2 that was launched in 2019!
The LA riots also happened because 14 years Latasha Harlins who was black girl got shot by a Korean store owner over some orange juice which the juice cost less than five dollars. Harkins already had money in ger hand but the Korean woman fought her and Harlins defended herself to fight back. When Harlins tried to escape she was shot back of her head by the korean woman. If you goigle her name the video is caught on tape. The incident happened days after Rodney King incident. The Korean woman didn't went to prison for killing a kid. This is why the looters were not only going after white people, but Asian people in that area.
This is by far, the most underrated channel on You Tube. The time it takes for these videos I'm sure is extensive. I'm always anticipating what you will choose to show us next. Thank you Forrest.
Landon Cash right!!! Blows my mind he only has 55k subs
This stuff better than the history channel
Lawrence Zmuda thank you!!!:))))
I mean this is truly great stuff, but the history channel is not hard to beat. They think history is how the aliens built the pyramids of Giza.
Oh darling. Covef
The History Channel has been random crap and nothing factual or correct for the past decade easily, sad but true. It used to be amazing
You will have tons of fresh material in 2020
Im at a motel in texas where some of the Texas 7 stayed , next door is an auto parts store they robbed . I believe that would be a good one. thx.
@@MrChadheadb i stayed at a hotel in aurora colorado overlooking the movie theatre where the batman movie shooting took place. very eerie would make for a good video i think.
When Forrest says "There you have it" you know video is almost over. I could watch these all day long.

I do watch these all day long lol

@@Stevo_Drums Thanks for the reply. It almost seems like that riot wasn't so long ago.
Reginald got beat up just for being white.
John Belvin your not allowed to be white anymore...
On a side note , on the night that this took place, the bar scene for terminator 2 was being filmed at the same time the beating happened. The bar which was located on Osborne st and stonehurst ave is now gone and a library sits in its place.
I really look forward to these! You really have come up with a unique idea with these! Thanks!
Another great upload Forrest!
Can you do one on Pablo Escobar
His mansions US and Colombia, his Zoo, bombing of federal building to destroy evidence against him and he’s chase and eventual death by police
That would be great!
That sounds like a whole documentary there, mate ..
I enjoy these so much! Your approach, delivery, always respectful- spot on! Well done! Thank you and looking forward to the next one!

Rioters are not protesters. Cops can't hand out corporal punishment but I do believe King should have been locked up for a long time.

I wish there were more channels on CZcams like unto this one. Excellent work, as always.
Always a treat when you upload
Another great video as usual Forrest, very detailed and informative. Looking forward to seeing the next one. Paul in Northern Ireland.
More videos please- love how in detail you make them. Amazing
The amount of research you do to make this videos is huge for sure, and your content is top notch.
Thank you for doing this Forrest. This has been on my mind for a while. Was living in LA during this whole thing. Great job. Always looking forward to your videos :)))

Your videos are awesome!
I never thought I'de hear comedian Ray Romano doing Google Maps narrations.
Can you do the route of the DC sniper?
Thanks Forrest! Great video, makes us reflect on what is happening now.

So true
Papi Watson It could have been a death sentence for a lot of people when this idiot, Rodney was driving through stop signs at 80+ mph.
I know it’s getting about time for a new one. I been checking everyday the last couple days. Hope all is well buddy.
Chris Bowen all is well! Thank you for checking.
