EXPLOSIVE – The Curious Case Of Freddie Gray’s Paddy Wagon Companion....
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 2, 2015 | Sundance

Posted on 05/02/2015 6:11:03 AM PDT by don-o

On April 29th the Washington Post ran an explosive article highlighting information from a passenger who was inside the transport vehicle at the same time Freddie Gray was driven toward central booking. According to the Washington Post source: Freddie Gray was intentionally “trying to injure himself“.

On April 30th local Baltimore media outlet WBAL-TV introduced Donta Allen, a person they claimed was the passenger in the transport vehicle.

Our research indicates the office of Baltimore State Attorney, Marilyn Mosby, used or allowed one of her deputy State Attorneys, Janice Bledsoe (who was in charge of the investigation as assigned by Marilyn Mosby), to willfully and intentionally place a false story using Bledsoe’s lover, WBAL-TV reporter Jayne Miller, and thereby create a fictitious story to imply Donta Allen as the passenger outlined in the Washington Post story.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The full story: The Washington Post does not specifically name the passenger who heard Freddie Gray attempting to injure himself. However, they do provide details as to the identity – details we can independently confirm (emphasis mine).

Sure it is the most common explanation, police were widely known as Irish.

One that makes sense if one agrees that the term is older, is that it was short for “patrol wagon”, that also ties in with old slave terms.

“Slave patrols (called patrollers, pattyrollers or paddy rollers by the slaves) were organized groups of white men who monitored and enforced discipline upon black slaves in the antebellum U.S. southern states. Slave patrols’ function was to police slaves, especially runaways and defiant slaves. They also formed river patrols to prevent escape by boat. Slave patrols were first established in South Carolina in 1704, and the idea spread throughout the colonies.”

Patty was short for Patrick

Patty-Wagon just became Paddy wagon over time

Whole lot simpler once you realize that the Padric is the older pronunciation, “there ya go Paddy meboyo”.

The Washington Post article specifically mentions his age.

The third stop was to put the other prisoner — a 38-year-old man accused of violating a protective order — into the van. The van was then driven six blocks to the Western District station. Gray was taken from there to a hospital, where he died April 19.The prisoner, who is in jail, could not be reached for comment. No one answered the phone at his house, and an attorney was not listed in court records.

bump to hopefully get the thread back on the main topic - legal and journalistic fraud, malpractice and conspiracy.

The Irish will do just fine.

It seems to have been a short walk from the years of half truths to the now of full lies.

Homosexuals have degenerate minds. Lying is as easy as breathing to the degenerate mind. And the more interesting Psychological aspect is, both of these degenerate minds probably believe what they are doing with their lies is ‘justified’, moral even!

That refers to a 38yo being picked up toward the end of the trip—but that is a *third stop* and it doesn’t say he’s the man interviewed. In fact, it says the WaPo has seen the docs regarding the man interviewed—and yet doesn’t dispute latter reports quoting this guy.

I believe the detail re: the 38yo simply answers the question of what the one stop was before pulling into the station.

We used different vehicles depending on the number of prisoners. We had regular front facing vans and the ones where they sit sideways facing a metal partition that divides the van in half. We called that one the ice cream truck. Prisoners use to throw up back there all the time. I liked it better then the regular vans because you didn’t have prisoners sitting directly behind you looking over your shoulder.

Who here knows the origin of that term?

Irish immigrants were referred to as Paddys, and occupied the niche in society now reserved for the blacks. Some differences; they did have a work ethic as there were no programs to feed and house them. But their drunken misbehavior was common enough that arrests were frequent, so the police pickup vehicles became known a Paddy Wagons.

Question comes to mind. What power / authority does the Governor of MD have to intervene in the Baltimore Freak Show?

Hi peeps,

I think there was a scene from the “Fugitive” where there were handcuffs and leg braces. When the train collision occurred the “passengers” were able to escape.

This witness has since identified himself to the media and repudiated the characterization of "trying to hurt himself" that is in the police report.

He said he only told them he could hear banging and screaming in the last 6 blocks to the station.
