...”I don’t see anywhere that they dispute little Freddie’s extensive rap sheet postings”....

Lucky they even reported on it....they hadn’t for quite awhile of course, though they knew from the get go the kid was a drug dealer,until it hit the social networks....even then you don’t see much discussion or reporting of it.

...”we may rightly comment on on scenarios, without evidence, as speculation only”....

Well apparently not unless it agrees with the liberal mob mentality. But then if you silence debate and investigation the truth is never revealed.

This is the nonesense police have to contend with by punks.......Punk calls police for help.....gets in police face...he takes him down...moans and groans and says “I can’t breath”...puts on an act....They do this now for the head camera’s the police wear now. This guy knows the game well.

yes,... illicit drugs would really help a lot....even more so if he actually had some level of lead poisoning...

I’ve pretty much already drawn my own conclusions on the matter with this case. And frankly lead poisoning doesn’t come into the picture of the actual event.

I do think the authorities will find some way to present this case to the public so that the public will remain as calm as possible...which is why they passed up line...they already know what’s going on but they “need” the higher ups backing their results.

It won’t matter either way to the black community...because they simply want someone to “pay” for their miserable lives one way or another. Gray has simply been cannon fodder.

The ;ead poisoning “angle was interjected simply for the sake of verifying the law suit prone..guys lack of character....

“freddie Gray.... has gone away”

that should have been the end of the “song”, but of course the racist opportunists could never let a good non crisis go to waste

That’s right ...he should have simply been buried and be done with it.

But the elites need their front line victim AND their family to rile the masses.

Not that nobody’s really keep on eye on what Obama is doing. Or reporting....he’s liking this!

Seizure makes sense to me. Suggested yesterday on:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284678/posts

Someone else on the thread wondered if it could have been from something like a burst condom in the stomach filled with some narcotic. If he was selling product In little baggies perhaps he swallowed them before capture. They burst, he OD’d, seized, and died. While we can’t say for certain if he had asthma; we know he sold drugs.

This lie about free republic is still going around the liberal websites. From the crooks and liars website:

“Here’s another Stupid Internet Rumor flying around, probably started by some putz over at StormFront.org or something. Oops, no! It was from Free Republic,”

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/04/police-maybe-freddie-gray-severed-his-own

Oops, no it wasn’t! Sorry crooks and liars.

How often is this an outright lie I wonder?

The media tried to contact ____ and they would not return their calls.

Chances are good that it's 99% of the time.

Pat Caddell called it.

The “sun of the truth” long ago set on the Baltimore Sun, which I read for decades when I lived there and then at college.

In fact, one of their leading Vietnam War correspondents, Arnold “Skip” Isaacs (author of a large book on the war), told a Hanoi Lobby conference audience today that he “was an anti-war correspondent before I became a war correspondent.”

SO MUCH FOR OBJECTIVE REPORTING.

Personal disclosure: I was a MACV-accredited correspondent for “Human Events” weekly, a conservative newspaper in DC, and often had letters published in the old Baltimore Sun before leftist John Carroll and some woman whose name I have forgotten, took it over and turned it into a leftist rag.

I also wrote about Vietnam and many other subjects as a reporter for the “NW Star”, Baltimore/Pikesville, Md (a suburb of NW Baltimore) for over a decade.

Looks like Arnold let his “bias cat” out of the bag. Unfortunately it was 40 years too late.

Just thought Balto Sun (BS) readers would like to know about one of its correspondents, who is now a hardcore leftist, esp. if they read his book on Vietnam.

Call them out on Twitter and ask for a correction to be printed. Tag the reporter, editor and ombudsman.
