It's not over yet. On the heels of a choatic Monday night in Baltimore that saw rioters burn buildings, loot stores, and clash with SWAT following the funeral of Freddie Gray, tensions are running high once again, and as you can see from the images and video below, it appears as though the situation could well escalate into the evening.

Currently it is being reported the investigation into Freddie
Gray’s death will be complete by Friday. However, the same media
reports are saying the results will not be made immediately public.
This is odd considering the surrounding ideology of Baltimore which
would be highly favorable to a finding of wrongdoing by the police.

If the investigation revealed police wrongdoing
there is nothing in the Baltimore political apparatus which would
keep it hidden from public. Ergo, there’s a possibility any report
would contain exculpatory information beneficial to the police.

Which brings us to a potential game changing discovery showing up
in some social media about Freddie Gray having spinal surgery
shortly before the events outlined within the controversial
encounter. It must be noted however, that none of this is factually
confirmed and we should research further.

The story is in essence:

“Freddie Gray had a pre-existing spinal and neck injury [from a car
accident] and had severe damage and scar tissue from an accident
that Allstate insurance was paying via a large structured
settlement.

Freddie had several unsuccessful spinal fusion surgeries, and his
most recent spinal/cervical operation was a week and a half before
he was arrested. Freddie should have been at home in bed resting
and recovering from this recent major operation.

If you look on Howard County Civil Court records you will find a
case whereby Freddie Gray Jr. was trying to cash in his monthly
structured Allstate settlement into a lump sum payout through
Peachtree funding”.

Another report from The Fourth Estate essentially encapsulates the
same story outlined in alternate (social) media:

[…] EXCLUSIVE: The Fourth Estate has learned that Freddy Gray’s
life-ending injuries to his spine may have possibly been the result
of spinal and neck surgery that he allegedly received a week before
he was arrested, not from rough excessively rough treatment or
abuse from police.

The Fourth Estate has contacted sources who allege that Freddy Gray
received spinal and neck surgery a week before we was arrested, and
was allegedly receiving a large structured settlement from Allstate
Insurance. The surgery is allegedly related to a car accident in
which Gray was involved (more)

Indeed there is a civil tort case in the Circuit Court for Howard
County – Civil System listing Freddie Gray Jr. as party to a civil
action structured between Peachtree Settlement Funding LLC and
Allstate Life Insurance Company. (link)

CASE # 13C14101574 “Freddie Gray Jr” Howard County:

Whether the actual facts -as laid out beyond the settlement claim-
are true is unknown. However, any report claiming the above related
to a “car accident” seem sketchy at best. In a previous Baltimore
Media article the following was noted:

[…] As children, he and his two sisters were found to have
damaging lead levels in their blood, which led to multiple
educational, behavioral and medical problems, according to a
lawsuit they filed in 2008 against the owner of a Sandtown-
Winchester home they rented for four years.

With so much of its housing stock predating laws banning lead in
paint, Baltimore continues to wrestle with the after-effects on
thousands of children who have inhaled or ingested the toxic metal.

[…] The siblings filed the lawsuit against Stanley Rochkind and
several corporations associated with him. (Originally, the suit
also targeted the owner of another home where the family lived, but
that defendant was ultimately dropped.)

Rochkind is well known for owning hundreds of rentals in the city
over the years, many of which have drawn lead paint lawsuits. In
2001, he was fined $90,000 by the Maryland Department of the
Environment as part of a consent agreement that required him to rid
some 480 rental units in Baltimore of lead paint. (link)

What would appear more likely is the Howard County civil action is
some kind of request by Freddie Gray and his Sister for a lump sum
payment, or changes in relation to the lead paint lawsuit litigants.

Obviously if Freddie Gray Jr. did FACTUALLY have spinal and neck
surgery less than two weeks before his encounter with police
resulting in death from a spinal injury – such a revelation would
be a game changer.

Perhaps the media will begin to look a little closer at the claim.
Perhaps it is an unfounded and unwarranted claim. However, it is
very interesting and deserves further inquiry.

And then there is this:
Freddie Gray's criminal history has now made its way onto the internet. Heavy.com reports that his criminal history dates from to July 2007 to March 2015. Gray had a lengthy arrest record with convictions dating back until at least 2007, according to the Maryland Department of Justice. Not all of the arrests led to convictions, in many of the cases he pleaded guilty to one charge while the others were dropped. Details of when he spent time in prison were not immediately available. His arrest record includes at least 18 arrests:

• March 20, 2015: Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance

So that bad back just up and broke again all by itself, killing him? The reason the investigation is taking so long is so the local MIC can concoct its story. When will they ever say why he was picked up in the first place? What are the charges MIC?

Well, get ready to live with it - this is your future. A civil war - everybody against fat asses. Many will die, mostly the innocent ones. Who survives, will try (maybe) to build a decent society. I doubt it, but you never know...
