  Reginald Oliver Denny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reginald Oliver Denny (born April 21, 1953 in San Pedro, California) is a white construction truck driver who was dragged from his truck and nearly beaten to death by African American rioters during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
On April 29, 1992, at 5:39 PM, Denny loaded his red, eighteen-wheel truck with twenty-seven tons of sand and drove to a plant in Inglewood where the sand was due.
The two were charged with the assault of Denny as well as five other motorists and two firefighters who were driving past the intersection of Florence and Normandie shortly after the start of the Los Angeles riots on April 29, 1992.

 Denny's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denny's is known for its 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year operations, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert around the clock.
Denny's had the fewest violations of all ten chains evaluated by Dateline and was the only one to average fewer than one violation per restaurant.
Denny's and Waffle House were the only two chains studied that operate chain-wide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year–an important factor to consider, as generally (many IHOPs operate 24 hours as well), around-the-clock restaurants gather more health code violations.

 Reginald Denny bio
Denny returned to America and immediately went to Chicago where he performed until his wife had a nervous breakdown, and he had to rush back to New York to be at her side.
Denny finished up "The Leather Pushers" series at this time and was cast in a couple of features, one of which was "The Abysmal Brute" (Universal, 1923), the Jack London story about a backwoods boy who becomes a boxer.
Reginald Denny is part of this group, and, as Kevin Brownlow put it, he is "on a level only slightly below that of the masters," but not given the credit he is due.

After forming Reginald Denny Industries in 1934, Denny began selling his models at this location in 1935 (On the North side of Hollywood Boulevard, visible just as you exited the Hollywood Freeway off ramp).
