Shoppers flock to Gibson's Bakery in Oberlin

 

[Zorro!]

Legal Insurrection:

Oberlin “basically begged for mercy at punitive damages hearing today,” in a post headlined,

“Oberlin College to Jury: We’re cash poor and big punitive award to Gibson’s Bakery will hurt students.”

Toni Myers, Oberlin College’s Multicultural Resource Center Director was quoted as sending out a text that said,

“After a year, I hope we rain fire and brimstone on that store,”
​

I’m not at all sure how sympathetic the jury will be to Oberlin’s latest cri de coeur.

Snotty Self-Entitled University before a Jury of "Townies" they disdain.

Hurting the students is the whole idea. It was the students doing the protesting.

$44 million.

I suspect not enough to shutter the "school".

Too bad.

Trying to work up a tear for Oberlin and it's students.

So sorry...just can't shed one.

$33M. Per OH law, punitive damages are automatically capped at 2X actual, but, their insurance carrier is claiming that the actual damages are not covered under their policy and insurance policies routinely do not include punitive damages, so, it's $33M right out of their endowment fund.

But, yeah, they will survive it.

Protests continue at Oberlin bakery after shoplifting arrest

apparently if you are not white you have a right to shoplift and not get arrested.

True, but there’s always the chance it’ll have a positive “Michael Brown” ending.

Yes, according to these now much poorer University fools.

HELL NO! According to the Townie Jury that the University clearly holds in disdain, though a disdain surely now tempered by much lighter pockets.
