CONFIRMED: Court records show Freddie Gray was receiving a structured settlement from Allstate Insurance and attempted to convert it into one lump sum in early March
EXCLUSIVE: The Fourth Estate has learned that Freddy Grays life-ending injuries to his spine may have possibly been the result of spinal and neck surgery that he allegedly received a week before he was arrested, not from rough excessively rough treatment or abuse from police.
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.
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 Grays 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.

“In spite of that , why was he out and about walking around when he should have been home recovering from spinal and neck surgery ?”
Pushers advance the drugs and the user pays for it with the proceeds from the sale of what he doesn’t use.
Pushers don’t give medical leave as a rule.
Perhaps that was his situation.
Personal responsibility is simply non-existent these days.
First, the point about a previous spinal surgery is based on unnamed sources who present no evidence. It's also contrary to common sense - if he had a preexisting spinal condition that could have resulted in the injuries that he suffered (three fractured vertebrae and a crushed larynx), there is no way he would have been up and riding his bike a week after surgery.
Second, just a few minutes of digging around makes clear 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.
no one knows until the purpose the rioting has served is over.
Seeing as his rap sheet shows he can't follow the law, I can believe, that if he had this surgery, he didn't follow the doctor's orders either.
could be.
It’s my money and I want it now!
Before what, genius?
What a dumb question!
Police departments are now issued OUIJA Boards to guess the history of existing felons protected by absurd "confidentiality" laws?
How is that supposed to work?
"'Fractured tibia, sergeant'? 'Fractured tibia, sergeant'? Ooh. Proper little mummy's boy, aren't we? Well, I'll tell you something, my fine friend, if you fracture a tibia here you keep quiet about it! Look at him! (looks more closely) He's broken both his arms and he don't go shouting about it, do he? No! 'Cos he's a man - he's a woman, you see, so don't come that broken tibia talk with me. Get on at the double. One, two, three, pick that crutch up, pick that crutch right up."
Yeah...including idiotic professional athletes. Truth? We can’t handle the truth!
Was he selling something?
As an aside, it is worth reminding folks here how HIPAA originated. Just remember “H” is for Hillary. HIPAA was the one part of HillaryCare she was able to get passed. It’s been modified since, but it started with HRC. Few seem to remember that.
The reason they kept this silence is they were struggling to find something good to say about the dead thug.
From the fourth estate site:
“The Fourth Estate has contacted sources who allege that Freddie Gray received spinal and neck surgery a week before we was arrested,”
Sources who allege. Well, OK. As of now, I'm lumping this in the same category as: A check has been made out to you for 1 million US, and has been deposited in the National Bank of Nigeria.
This is a different case #

Because you don't find many crack customers while lying in bed.
No but he did have a beer in his hand.
