Did Freddie’s neck surgery a week and a half earlier have anything to do with it?

The situation has brought out the worst in many people. Sadly, many of them post here.

Apparently they are thugs, as their behavior in the streets Monday night are illustrative of.

My question is:are the reports of Freddie having had major back/spinal surgery a week before his death true?

“After massive protests in the streets of Baltimore to raise awareness about Baltimore City police practices....”

I’m thinking of pulling my pants down, burning and looting and assaulting police to raise awareness about prostate cancer.

I think in the world of social justice they are considered “smart shoppers” and “aggrieved wealth redistributors”!

"Black Baltimore residents aren't 'animals'

Of course they're not animals. On the other hand, I didn't see cats and dogs throwing large rocks at the police, smashing the window of a police vehicle, looting a CVS, and burning it. And comparing animals to the riot thugs is an insult to animals. SO THERE!

Agree, Animals don’t terrorize and harm other animals from pride-induced emotionalism and, lets be honest, shall we... hate. Animals behave much better.

Animalism is as Animalism does.

The same leftists at The Guardian who write this crap support murdering children in the womb because they are "not human". Hypocrites.

Somehow the people in these neighborhoods have to make a community decision to endorse behavior that doesn’t lead to mass criminality and violence. At one time, the church filled this role for a larger number than it now does. How this is to be done requires the neighborhood to collectively make a decision. I’m not hopeful.
