Oberlin College Owes Baker $33 Million After Court Ruling

[anatta]

Oberlin College will have to pay a baker $33 million after a jury ruled the school defamed the business by alleging it had a history of racism.

A Lorain County, Ohio, jury awarded Gibson's Bakery $22 million in punitive damages on Thursday, after awarding $11 million in compensatory damages last week, as reported in a press release from the Legal Insurrection Foundation. The college must also pay the baker's attorneys' fees, which could amount to millions.

The jury found the college and Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo liable for defamation. The college was also found liable for infliction of intentional emotional distress and Raimondo was found liable for intentional interference of business relationships.

The history of the case goes back to 2016:

The case filed in 2017 stemmed from Oberlin and Raimondo’s conduct after a string of student protests outside the bakery where protesters called the owners racist.

Three black students were arrested in 2016 after one tried to use a fake ID and shoplifted from the bakery, according to the Chronicle-Telegram. The owner’s son, who is white, followed the students and got into a fight with them.

Soon after, students protested outside of the bakery to the extent where local police testified that they considered pulling in outside help.

Oberlin stopped ordering from the bakery after the 2016 protests, but resumed business with Gibson’s in January 2017, according to the Chronicle-Telegram. When Gibson’s filed suit in November 2017, Oberlin quit doing business with the company for a second time.

The students pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges including attempted theft in 2017, reading statements into the record that said the son was justified in detaining the robber and that the events weren’t racially motivated.

The lawsuit said that Raimondo handed out fliers calling Gibson’s racist and spoke into a bullhorn at the protests. The suit also said other professors took part.

William A. Jacobson, professor at Cornell Law School and president of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, said the school tried to sacrifice the bakery on the "altar of political correctness."

"In efforts to appease the campus ‘social justice warfare mob,’ Oberlin College attempted to sacrifice this beloved fifth-generation family bakery, its owners and employees at the altar of political correctness," Jacobson said. "In doing so, they relied upon demonstrably false accusations, defaming and nearly destroying a small business."

Heard about this the other day when they awarded the 11 million. Hopefully this sort of thing will become more commonplace. Leftist loons need to be slapped down far more often. This sets a great legal precedent.

I'm pretty sure the punitive damages were actually higher than 22 million, but, unfortunately here in Ohio they are capped at 22 million.

SJW BULLSHIT RESULTS IN $22 MILLION VERDICT

The jury just rendered its verdict on punitive damages in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case.

In addition to the $11.2 million compensatory damages awarded last Friday, the jury awarded a total of $33 million in punitive damages, which will probably be reduced by the court to $22 million because of the state law cap at twice compensatory (it’s not an absolute cap, but probably will apply here).

That brings the total damages to $33 million. We will have the breakdown soon. The jury also awarded attorney’s fees, to be determined by the judge.

The breakdown was:

David Gibson – $17.5 million punitive damages

Allyn W. Gibson — $8.75 million punitive damages

Gibson Bros. Inc. (the Bakery) – $6,973,500 punitive damages

Even Zappacrite knows that attacking the source is a fallacy.

Facts are facts. They don't change depending on which website they happen to come from. But here you are, attacking the source once more. If you had anything more substantial, you'd post it.

Actually, the 22 million is just for punitive damages, a jury awarded 11 million last week. The total award currently stands at 33 million.

The freaking dean of the college actually handed out flyers claiming the bakery was racist. Unbelievable.

I get that same crap every now and then.
They come in drug seeking faking a toothache, refuse any kind of treatment, I write an Rx for aspirin, they bitch and complain then cry 'racist!' after I tell them to leave. I've had to call the cops several times when they won't.

The total verdict is 44 million. 11 millions actual per se damages, 33 punitive.

An appeals court will certainly knock down the verdict for this big hate crime. The PC nazi college and its brownshirt students deliberately spread lies and engaged in harassment with the intent of defaming people and killing a business.
