It's punitive damages, meaning to discourage further wokies to wokie. The idea is to make the college really hurt. The bakery should donate 90% of it to some LGBT charity for the extended drama.
I’ve lived with my ex for over a year i’m already resigned to being the hermit crab equivalent of a man. I have nothing to lose cept this bitch i already hate which makes me incredibly dangerous 🦇
Jesus Christ these fucking morons are hemorrhaging money. As the woketards always say ‘it is better to go broke than to admit any type of mistake or fault’. Btw what are they delaying? The inevitable long shaft of justice slipdicking them in the shower?
There’s some sort of hidden meaning in here, something about being so woke that you effectively can not afford to operate anymore because you’re wokeness sent you into a self righteous fervor of increasingly bad decisions. Maybe someone could clean this up for me and make it rhyme perhaps 🤔
The also did the cliche thing where they wanted to be liked by the students instead of being the adults in the room. What type of vice-dean or whatever thinks it's their job to hang out with the kids at a protest?
Raimondo joined the Oberlin community in 2003, as one of the professors in the newly formed Department of Comparative American Studies. She has taught courses spanning the themes of gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity studies, social justice, and HIV/AIDS.
Well considering that creature's resume, you know which one it'd be.
Course title was probably something like "The Intersection of fiction, conservatism/hate and HIV: How Twilight fights against Donald Trump to protect gay culture"
At the risk of sounding like a rightoid, is there actually a decent argument as to why gays blame Republicans for infecting each other with AIDS for two decades? I have honestly never understood that hot take.
Generally, when there's some epidemic like Ebola for example, or Swine Flu, you expect the government to spend some of the tax money to mitigate it. From what I understand, as soon as it was clear that AIDS spread mostly through buttsex the US government entirely declined to do anything about it, and it was not until AIDS started to spread via blood transfusions and heterosexual sex, visibly affecting non-gays, that they started pumping money into the research and mitigation.
It's like, my tax money are as good as everyone's, why was I never even told that barebacking is bad for me?
As a pre-AIDS Soviet joke went, an engineer got a travel assignment to some place outside the USSR and asked his wife what she wants him to bring back. "Whatever, antibiotics cure everything" she said.
Because when AIDS first became a thing, it was basically just a gay community thing so conservatives pretended like it wasn't happening. Even when Regan's friend Rock Hudson was dying of it Regan did nothing to acknowledge it was even a thing. Basically it took a photogenic mayo boy getting AIDS through a blood transfusion for anyone to care.
There was a TON of interesting cultural and political stuff going on during the peak of the AIDS crisis. There were riots and shit over closing down the bathhouses in SF. Check out Randy Shilts' And the Band Played On. You could easily fill a semester with it, though at Oberlin your students would probably report you for making them feel unsafe.
Nah, schools are bankrolled as fuck. Oberlin isn't going anywhere. If anything they will replace the people who made really REALLY poor decisions with people who have the same exact stupid opinions.

See my post below, but I have some more backstory on this. Spoiler - it's not the legal team's fault.
Black kid: Robs bakery. Gets citizen-arrested. Caught on CCTV. Gets actually arrested.
Oberlin: MY MY WHAT RACIST TREATMENT, BETTER LET EVERYONE KNOW THIS IS A RACIST BAKERY.
Bakery: Hmm, now see you can't do that. We're suing.
Oberlin: LAWYERS PLZ HELP
Lawyers: You should pay the bakery to make this go away.
Oberlin: LOL NOPE.
Lawyers: ...
Civil Court: Yo Oberlin! You owe the bakery ... 43 million dollars. Even though the books say you can only be maximally found guilty of ~25 million in damages on this action.
the lead lawyer literally sent and email to alumni saying the jurors were too dumb to understand their defense... while the jury was deciding the damages.
One of the college reps argued in court she can’t be held responsible, and then a text came up where she told a colleague she should sic the students on a professor who wouldn’t step in line
I was up in Cleveland this weekend visiting my best friend from college, who is now a lawyer. We drove past one of his friend's firms and he said "you see that firm? They took on this bakery case that they were guaranteed to lose. They ended up losing it by more than the book said was the maximum possible penalty. The school is fucked."
Pro-tip: if you take your case to a lawyer and the lawyer says "you should settle for 5 million and hope to God they accept", you fucking do that and don't fight it. Or maybe just don't go full retard-woke in the first place.
Juries are random civilians, what's legally allowed is a state rule. The Jury came to a decision. The judge reduced it to be in line with what the state permits.
From the NYT article about this shitshow, describing one of the 'student senators' who supported the protests:
Mr. Dunbar said he and his friends had a lot of respect for the town and its residents. They frequented the local bar, shopped at the vintage clothes store and patronized a recently opened tattoo shop.
You literally can't make this shit up. The stereotypes write themselves.

As much as I love to see wokies get fucked 36 million is a retarded sum of money that only Burgerland would ever award.

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief. “Bad news, detective. We got a situation.” “What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?” “Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.” The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm.

Looks likely Oberlin will have to sell itself off to pay this. I wouldn't be surprised if the college is functionally DOA

Note that it wasn't bad before the epidemic.

Before AIDS all the STDs were treatable so the biggest drawback to unprotected sex was having a baby. The 70's was basically an orgy.

1 r4chan-cancer 2019-07-25
Idk how true it is but I remember hearing that the Reagan admin actively suppressed research/awareness for it.
Even if that isn’t true they at least didn’t do anything about it, and ignoring a sizable population getting really sick is a shitty thing to do.

Oberline has a 800 million endowment... I think they'll be just fine. Hell they're alumni will probably donate more because of this.
1 LightUmbra 2019-07-25
Not all the 800 million is freely available according to the article. Only 100 and son million and they have a lot of other debt.

Can you explain the “losing it by more than the book said was the maximum possible penalty” line?
1 kosievdmerwe 2019-07-25
The jury assigned more punitive damages than is legally allowed.
1 sup3r_hero 2019-07-25
How can the jury assign more than legally allowed? Sounds like a contradiction to me.
1 kosievdmerwe 2019-07-25
The judge reduced it to the maximum afterwards, but IANAL so I don't know how it works.
