You raise several points, I'll briefly address them.
The law stipulates unlimited punitive damages, therefore the fine is consistent with that.
You did it again. YOu ignore my point that it is excessive. You instead focus on the fact that the law ALLOWS it, with no explaination of why it was JUST.
That is an implication that it is REQUIRED, which is not true.
The judgement could have been something like 50 bucks, or 10,000 dollars and that would have been more reasonable. 2 million is an attempt to destroy a corporation by bankrupting it. Which is a violation of the rights of the people involved.
The corporation was fined not the individuals, I don't see how fining a corporation is anything new, it happens all the time.
It's fine to punish a corporation with a fine. That was not a matter of dispute. But by pushing back on it, you create the illusion that you had a point to make.
You keep speaking of "your goal" I wasn't the judge nor was I a juror, this is nothing to do with me.
You clearly support this for political reasons. Thus, my speaking of your goal of desttroying your political enemies.
This is a simple point,, your pretending to not get it is not credible.
Your refusal to be honest about it, is you trying to gaslight me and any readers.
You say "destroy your enemies" are you a proud boy? because you're getting emotional about this. A paltry fine would encourage copycats, that's surely not contentious?
I say "destroy your enemies" becuase that is clearly why you are supporting this extreme fine, not to mention the bullshit with the name.
I am getting a bit pissed, becaseu you are being very rude with your dishonesty 0n the issue and your spamming of negs.
It is not a good faith discussion from your part. It is just you using troll like tactics.
You say I have a "POLITICAL PROBLEM" with them. I disapprove of them, I disapprove of the KKK, do you disapprove of the KKK? Does one have a "political problem" when they seek punishment of the KKK for their crimes?
A simple yes from yo on that would have been honest. It is clear from the way you keep trying to conflate them with the klan.
YOu oppose them politically, so you support using the courts to try to suppress them.
This is a violation of their rights.
Punishing violent racist organizations is not evidence that those doing the punishing are an "oppressive tyranny". In Germany it is illegal to parade the Swastika symbol, if any person wears a swastika armband they will be arrested and punished, would you say that was proof that Germany today is an oppressive tyranny?
What you are doing here, is justifying the violation of the rights of poeple and groups, based on them having politics that you do not like.
The fact that germany will arrest you for wearing a swastika is proof that they do not have freedom of speech.
The fact that you support this fine against the proud boys, and that the dems courtws are doing this, is a violation of their rights to a fair trial, and to their right to assemble.
How many times must I tell you that the punishment was not for the destruction of a banner, go and look at the case history, they were charged with more serious crimes and the jury saw the evidence found them guilty.
ALL that has been offered in this thread to justify the fine and the taking of the name, is the banner.
When lefties present one piece of evidence and are vague about other evidence, it means that the other evidence is ever weaker, or completely made up bullshit.
If not both.
You insist on mischaracterizing the event as just a destroyed sign, you've done this several time and you did it again above.
It is all that has been presented in this thread. ANd your behavior, the behavior of the other lefty posters, hell the behavior of the biden administartion,
shows that lawfare and the mass violation of civil rights, is normal and supported dem tactics today.
You then start rambling about persecuting political enemies, well the thread is not about that, it's about the recent decision that's reported in my OP, that's the topic. You want to go off topic, well I'll go there if you want but start a thread yourself and state your case and I'll look and consider responding. If you want to discuss a broader political issue do so, but start a thread so we are all clear what you're position is.
State your case clearly and lets see how that goes.
This bit where you talk shit about how I have not presented my case is you trying to gaslight me.
YOU have failed to make YOUR case. I have made my points, and supported them.
YOu have a banner, and a host of logical fallacies such as appeal to authority and spamming negs.
