Free Republic has since removed the story from its website...

Nope. It's still up.

Freerepublic didn’t write any article, so now this thread and Baltimore Sun article is “”The Free Republic website said Wednesday that””? Since the Baltimore Sun article has been linked to from here and discussed?

Little by little. Bits and pieces are coming to light. Too soon to know all the details, but is it a possibility that the cops HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FREDDIE’S DEATH???

But just like Trayvon, Michael, Eric, and God knows who will be next..... The facts don’t matter.

Just as long as the White Hut and the presstitures have their agenda to inflame racial hatred - it’s all good.

The story I've heard (not the surgery story,the original one) doesn't make sense to me.The autopsies done on Saint Trayvon and the Gentle Giant revealed some *very* important info.It's distinctly possible that the autopsies on him will as well.

There’s so much about this incident that we don’t know yet. Freepers had best show a patient and meticulous attention to detail when they write about it.

From the source article:

Sources allege that Gray also attempted to refinance his structured settlement into one lump sum payment through Peachtree Funding.

If this is true, then it is possible that Gray’s spinal injury resulting from his encounter with the Baltimore Police was not the result of rough-handling or abuse, but rather a freak accident that occurred when Gray should have been at home resting, not selling drugs.

Well, according to this article in the Baltimore Sun, “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.”

So it’s not entirely surprising that the source cited in FR mentions an auto accident. Whether there was an auto accident, or a pre-existing spinal injury, who knows? There was a thread posted about it in the forum, which is still there, the duplicate post only having been removed—contrary to the claim falsely made by the Baltimore Sun.

FTA..... Free Republic has since removed the story from its website and could not be reached for comment.

Ping. Did the Baltimore Sun reach out to you?

Just wondering.

My post yesterday in a related thread: The sources for this story are very shaky. A private forum, godlikeproductions.com/forum, seems to be the first to pick this up followed by www.city-data.com some seventeen hours ago.

It’s a shame such claims are creating smoke screens on most controversial subjects. It sounded possible but wasn’t well documented.

I love how the article posted indicated that the outlet was trying to confirm the information.

Ahhh.....dont you just long for the days when the media actually confirmed something before printing it.

What a cesspool the internet is.

Well Mark Puente and Doug Donovan. At least you did some research on this. After the fact. Maybe if you guys did your job independent journalists wouldn't have to.

There's a rebuttal from the original source to the Sun's article here:

BREAKING: Freddie Gray Sued Taxi Company For Damages/Injuries Allegedly Related To Car Accident

I thought I saw the article posted to FR, but maybe it's been pulled.

I guess the sick time for lower level drug dealers isn’t that great.

I’ve had several friends who have had back surgery, and they all needed several weeks to recuperate before they returned to their jobs. Maybe Freddie just needed another week or two before he went back to his job

Well, I reckon one could critique the story through the following.

"By Mark Puente and Doug Donovan The Baltimore Sun contact the reporters"
