No, what you described are “do gooders”. “Cop haters” are a different category.

The poster you responded has do gooders confused with “cop haters”. She does not know what a “cop hater” is.

Thanks for the Ping. I wonder when the autopsy results will be released.

Yes, and if you look at the court record at the link...it looks more like Freddie Gray is the defendant and the Peachtree financial company was probably a debt collector for Allstate. They were likely trying to get a structured resettlement from Freddie on behalf of Allstate.

It's not quite clear from the court record, but I think that what was happening in the court case was that Gray had entered into a structured settlement with Allstate, and that Peachtree was seeking to purchase certain rights with regard to the structured settlement. In many states, such transfers require court approval.

But, a little digging around shows that the Allstate settlement had NOTHING to do with any vehicle accident or spinal injury. A quick search of the Maryland court records shows that Freddie Gray's twin sister, Fredericka Gray (creative naming, right?) also had a structured settlement with Allstate that Peachtree was trying to purchase:

Some further digging reveals news articles that refer to a lawsuit brought by Freddie and Fredericka Gray against the owner of a building where they lived growing up, alleging that they were harmed by lead paint in the building. (Source.) According to the article, the Grays entered into a settlement with the former landlord, whose name is Stanley Rochkind.

Finally, some further digging reveals that Allstate Insurance Company has sued Rochkind. Turns out that Rochkind has an umbrella insurance policy with Allstate, and that Allstate has sued Rochkind in order to determine whether the insurance policy required Allstate to pay a claim to related to a different lead paint lawsuit brought against Rochkind:

Taken together, it is pretty clear that the Allstate structured settlement was related to the lead paint lawsuit, not to any previous spinal injury.

In other words, the story at link is complete and utter horseshiat.

Well now, that’s interesting!

[Lurker]

And your point is?

[Beach333]

Very nice sleuthing! It’s not what many want to hear, but it is what it is.

I’m not sure which thread I’m on since I posted to the wrong thread at one point, but I think I’m on the wrong thread. IF so, you should also post to the other.

[Lurker]

Well done.

[Baynative]

You’re mostly right, but the distribution charge crosses the line from victimless. That’s why the penalties are usually more severe.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

I posted it to both.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hahaha! No matter what, the police are “jack-booted thugs” is that it?

“Hahaha! No matter what, the police are “jack-booted thugs” is that it?”

No, of course that’s not it.

“It” is that your link regarding a supposed spinal injury is easily debunked garbage.

BREAKING: Freddy Gray Had Spine Surgery Just One Week Before Arrest

Oh yeah he was dragging himself around the streets with his spine injury until the police found him and decided he was the guy they wanted to throw in the back of their paddy wagon.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We'll see, won't we? How many people laughed off the National Enquirer's reports about John Edwards until they happened to be true?

"Freddy Gray Had Spine Surgery Just One Week Before Arrest"

Does this situation qualify for a Darwin Award?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

We’ve already seen. The only actual so-called “evidence” in the linked article was the stuff about the Allstate settlement, suggesting that the settlement was somehow related to a prior spinal injury. Which is demonstrably false. So, the article is left with.....what, exactly?

[hoosiermama]

Surgery one week before
How many days in hospital ?
What were his “take home”instructions?
Did he have pain meds?

With his history was he trying to make a buy or selling?

That’s just a repost of the same link you already posted, with the same irrelevant stuff about an Allstate settlement that had nothing to do with any spinal injury.

[azishot]

Spinal surgery? Why isn’t this plastered all over the news? Rhetorical question.
