ATLANTA, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a Rare.us opinion piece, expressing his frustration on Baltimore, editor Jack Hunter writes, "On the morning after the Baltimore riots, some began to circulate Freddie Gray's criminal record on social media. Why would anyone share this? What are they trying to say? Are they suggesting that his crimes excuse his death?"

Continued Hunter, "One headline from a right-wing site read, 'Freddy Gray's Arrest Record: Here's the Rap Sheet of the Dude They're Destroying Baltimore Over.'  The story had 381,000 Facebook shares as of this writing."

In this compelling story, Hunter examines the Freddy Gray incident, the tension in Baltimore, and race relations in America. Read the full article at: http://rare.us/story/why-are-people-sharing-freddie-grays-criminal-record/
