So now I learn that Freddie Gray Had a big lawsuit arising out of an accident against Allstate Insurance company and he got a structures settlement which in and of itself indicates that he sustained very grave injuries. He sued in Howard County circuit court, and it may have been for a severe neck injury. The autopsy should show if there is any scar tissue from recent surgeries. To be honest, I don't know this to be fact, but if it is, then it will come out in the days to come.

Rumor Check: Did Freddie Gray Have Spinal Surgery Shortly Before He Died in Police Custody?


A rumor that Freddie Gray underwent spinal surgery shortly before he died while in police custody is gaining steam online — but the claim doesn’t appear to be rooted in truth.

Citing unnamed “sources,” The Fourth Estate blog first claimed that “Freddie Gray received spinal and neck surgery a week before he was arrested, and was allegedly receiving a large structured settlement from Allstate Insurance” as the result of a car accident.

The rumor cites court records that show Gray alleged a “work injury, medical malpractice and auto accident” in a lawsuit filed in Howard County. However, the lawsuit is actually based on claims that Gray and his sister were exposed to lead paint and suffered harm, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Here’s the background on the lawsuit from the report:

Paperwork was filed in December allowing Gray and his sister, Fredericka to each collect an $18,000 payment from Peachtree Settlement Funding, records show. In exchange, Peachtree would have received a $108,439 annuity that was scheduled to be paid in $602 monthly installments between 2024 and 2039.

In her documents, Fredericka Gray checked “other” when asked to describe the type of accident. She also said that the date of the accident was “94/99″ and that she was a minor when the case was settled.

In his documents, Freddie Gray checked “work injury, medical malpractice and auto accident” as the type of accident. When asked to explain, he also wrote something that is unreadable. He also wrote something unreadable when asked if he was a minor when the case was settled.

On April 2, a judge dismissed the lawsuit when both Gray and his sister failed to appear in court. An attorney representing the Gray family also confirmed to the Baltimore Sun that the case was linked to the lead paint lawsuit.

While it’s theoretically possible that Gray could have undergone spine surgery unrelated to the lawsuit, there doesn’t appear to be any credible evidence supporting the claim.

Gray’s death in police custody has sparked riots and unrest in Baltimore as questions about what exactly happened on April 18 remain unanswered.

Looks like 6 officers have been charged. Whether they're guilty or not, what's hilarious is the major getting up there on her high horse while announcing the charges. SHE should be charged for allowing all the rioting, looting, burning, and assaults to happen.

Now the police union is saying that the officers aren't guilty of anything. I guess Freddie Gray severed his own spine.

Now you know why blacks need Sharpton to help them. Cops got their union. Who is going to help the black guy's family? Sharpton us a piece of shit, but he has a legal team working with him.

Notice that the media is NO RUSH to show the photos of the six mug shots. Because guess what, those 3 black faces don't fit in with the rhetoric.

Here they are: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/who-...218e_story.html

Thanks. What I meant is that they aren't in any rush to show the photos. Not release.

hmmmmm, do I see three black cops? does that change things?

Their photos are all over the place.

Anarchist's rather it was 6 white cops.

But if not next best thing is 6 cops.

So will CVS rebuild there doubt it. So there will be less services for the people who don't break laws.

So what have the far left progressives did for these people to make their life better. Nothing and yet they still vote for those jack offs in every election.

Partly because conservatives think they can never win their vote. The few that try are heckled by plants of the progressives.

Saw something this morning they were talking about congressman Cummings of Baltimore area. He has been elected over and over again. But his people have not improved their lives in all those years. That would tell me he is a useless piece of shit.

What is he pushing now the same shit the other piece of shit Obama is pushing man made power supplies. Is that going to help the poor black people of Baltimore. But Mr Parnoid believes it will help Cummings and Obama pocket money for themselves under the table or their friends who will get them the money under the table.

Bunch of scum bags

On honest street blacks they don't care about homosexuals, they don't care about windmills, they won't leave work if one black person is killed by a cop.

They want what we all want. To bring our kids up in a safe environment. They don't want their kids to steal, to join gangs. They want them to go to school and find a decent job and hopefully have a better life then they had and they want them to be happy.

Unless their family is fucked up so they don't know any better.

On cops harassing people. Cops have always done that. They did it to me a almost white guy. So do I like cops no fuck them. That is no big deal not liking cops.

I told my kids cop confronts you shut up and call me.

Explains the Baltimore problems better than anything





To a true classical anarchist the race of the police officers wouldn't matter.

To social justice warrior anarchist who are generally liberal democrats so therefore not actual anarchist probably brainwashed Marxist fools, race is the only thing that matters.

I haven't check any news except for the indictment announcement, but I am sure all the people who said it was racism are quickly trying to back track and will call the three black officers Uncle Tom's or something about how Racism = privilege + power so the police were still racist.

now they are saying that "racism is at the institutional level" whatever that means...also read another article that stated the 3 white cops are the ones who initiated the whole incident...they will find a way to spin it..just like that zimmerman who was hispanic was suddenly hispanic of caucasion origin..and like u said uncle tom shit will come out etc etc, we seen it before

I heard some moron say that racism today is worse than the 60s because it is less obvious. And I asked, "So you're saying that the KKK lynching blacks is not worse than todays racism?"

The guy said yes. Moron.

See the celebration march and who started it that kid is Louis Farrakins protege.

It's basic "divide & conquer" strategy. The powers that be have been using it since the dawn of time.

Nicky, tell me your secret... how did you refrain yourself from punching his nose in?

Trust me it was hard not to

I would love to see one of these 20 year old lefties say that to some black old timer who experienced real racism. They'd get the shit smacked out of them.

You got more patience than me Nicky.

Seriously I can't understand it. Don't people REMEMBER what shit was like in the fifties and sixties when true oppression existed?

I swear the millennial generation (which includes myself) is so spoiled and sheltered. We don't have a goddamn clue about what things used to be like, good or bad. We're riding on the coat tails of those who came before us without realizing what they went through.

Meanwhile liberal academia are constantly imposing their views on young impressionable students who take it to extremes. We've gone from a country that really did use to have racism and discrimination to a polarized, angry, divided, ineffectual population of morons. There's no pragmatism anymore

Lol, Nicky I'd love to have watched him say that to a black man who's been around the Jim Crow days.

It's just like with the feminists, the ones who cry about oppression and privilege all the time are upper-middle class, white, suburban women.

I remember reading on the news a woman cheated on her husband with a black man and justified it that it should be more acceptable/excusable because he was black, therefore not as privileged as her husband. He wanted to divorce her and give her nothing but she wanted half of everything... I won't be surprised if she gets it, judging from the way the US is going...

Well they have arrested the thugs, and now the demonstrators can continue. OFF THE PIGS!!!

I just heard on the news that another NYPD officer was shot in the head. This is getting all too common and I hope it is not going to be a trend with the thugs. No info as to whether this had anything to do with the Baltimore issues.

Hey they stopped the stop and frisk. That will lead to more shootings

Hopefully more cops.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

He sounds like an evil cop-hating far-left anarchist.

Seriously this is your solution? Is this what can we expect from people like you, who thrive on a warped sense of social justice? More hypocrisy and hate even though that's what you claim to fight against?

Do us all a favor and come back with something more productive to share. Until then, knock it off with the anti cop rhetoric.

Riot at Ludacris's pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel. The cops must have killed someone again.

Anyone familiar with dontomasso's posts knows that's exactly what he is.
