Daily Kos. No, thanks. I don't have time for insanity, which they usually represent.

Read the article. O wait, it might put blame on the cops. No way you want that.

Great article. I like this comment made:

"The tragedy that is the black community cannot be overcome by government or external means. Black leaders need to acknowledge this fact and stop reinforcing the victim propaganda of the self-serving race baiters. The most important factor in this equation is the state of the black family. Unwed teenagers having babies in poverty perpetuates societal failures. What happened to the black family since the civil rights victories of the 1960s that is at the core of current problems? Did welfare and drugs facilitate this breakdown of social norms? Sad. very sad."

I also read, somewhere, someone saying, "The kids have a low education level. They should ALL be arrested and NOT released until they get a GED." I thought that was a good idea. They would thank someone later.

A Possible Scenario For How Freddie Gray's Spinal Cord Was Ripped

That's the title of the article. I don't want to read speculation.

[Originalist]

A friend of mine posted this quote on his FB page but did not cite the source...


"Freddy Gray had a pre-existing spinal and neck injury and had severe damage and scar tissue from an accident that Allstate Insurance was paying him a large structured settlement. Freddy had several unsuccessful spinal fusion surgeries, he most recent spinal/cervical operation was a week and a half before he was arrested. Freddy should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from recent major operation instead of manufacturing and distributing drugs on the streets and resisting arrest. Freddy has a criminal record pages long for manufacturing and distributing controlled dangerous drugs that were cocaine crack heroine etc. along with many assault charges, gun charges, breaking and entering and the list goes on since he was 18 years old. (Juvenile records are sealed.) Look at some of this on www.mdjudiciarycasesearch. You will also see where he was trying to cash in his monthly structured settlement for his spinal injury payments to one lump sum through Peachtree Funding, He could have easily fallen in the paddy wagon from the slippery bench to the floor or twisted his fused spine to reopen his recently fused damaged spine. Also, the police that arrested him were also black, not white. Why are people destroying their own homes and revenue when they don't know the whole story? Mostly because it's a good reason and timing to loot and get new shoes and stolen goods? You got it! None of the police officers that arrested Freddy had a history of police brutality. Freddy was a dangerous career felon with a damaged spine and neck that was supposed to be healing a week and a half after surgery, not running the streets committing felonies and resisting arrest."

You accuse PO of dodgeball, but why are you so quick to jump to conclusions without ANY FACTS WHATSOEVER?! We do *NOT* know what happened in the van. We do *NOT* know if anyone was with him. We do *NOT* even know if he was handcuffed or managed to get free.

WE! DO! NOT! KNOW! ANYTHING! YET!

You're as bad as Al Not-So-Sharpton.

IF (and I want to severely emphasize the IF) the police were complicit in the death, then they should be held accountable. The problem with your reaction, is that you're jumping straight to judging them, without any facts. Then you get mad when someone else refuses to jump on your "hang 'em high!" approach, and prefers to wait for actual details.

Typical liberal mentality.

What is disturbing is that the outrage is only focused on the "potential" criminal activity of the police, but is excused for the OBVIOUS criminal activity going on in the streets.

Entitlement mentality. We are victims mentality. Blame blame blame. The problem with the inner cities is primarily because too many in those communities won't take personal responsibility for their lives and actions.
