Uh...it is unlikely to the point of impossible that he was already receiving a large structured settlement payment for injureies from a car accident only one week earlier.

I’m calling this allegation BS.

“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. “

I first read this at Conservative Treehouse, before it was posted here. Since “Journalism” is done/toast, Forums and “just a bloggers” have to pick up the slack and remember the rules learned in High School, at least THREE (3) sources on an article. “Me, Myself, and I” don’t count. It is amazing among MSM journalists and some forums, the articles are just linked and not fact-checked. Journalists have become amazingly lazy, but understandable since they have to wait for the talking points to be faxed in from the White House.

Yup, fact checking is seemingly a lost art in “new journalism.” And, worse, what often happens is that site A will post an unsourced, anonymous story, sites B, C, and D will pick up the story, and site X will then report that “B, C, and D report ______,” without mentioning that it all traces back to a single shaky report.

My first reaction to the story was, this Freddy person may have had a switch blade or small knife hidden in his belt (in back) and he somehow managed to cut his spine against it in the cop car, or when he was on the ground....

Nice work.

You could be a real journalist, not the fake ones we see on TV. :)

This threat should be locked and pulled. Why hasn’t it?

Well, I assume because it is an exemplary example of Freeper investigation and debunking.
Wish the title had been changed to reflect that.
