I bet it was a nice chunk of change!!
I’d prefer these cases not be settled, but have testimony taken in public about what was done.
A settlement is essentially a bribe to the plaintiff to go away, with instructions to never talk about the case again.
It’s too much money to refuse, and the defendant can make the case drag on for years; or even affect the outcome by getting a crony judge to preside; so settlements are usually the only practical way to go.
But, I’d love someday for the perps to be made to sit on the witness stand and answer questions...
for an undisclosed amount in federal court. >>>>
That’s no deterrent. They should have insisted on public disclosure of the amount, especially punitive damages.. That would make a deterrent.
Loved the Babylon Bee article that as part of the settlement, the CNN anchors would wear MAGA hats on air.
I vote both.
Good for Sandmann... take 'em to the cleaners kid...
Im hoping this is the seed money to allow them to take some of the other targets to court. And really take them to the cleaners.
People are talking about this case. Sandmanns made his point - and he’s won. That’s enough.
The country has won. You’ve won. I’ve won. His personal ‘winnings’ aren’t the issue. Big press bullies were taken down - and it was little ‘David’ with his slingshot who did it.
As MAGA supporters, who were also smeared here, we should know at least how much the settlement was.
SE Cupp is a complete jerk.
And her name is stupid.
I read the settlement was $25M. Will someone please “ruin me.” I’ll take half.
We could play that pricing game from the Price is Right with someone who knows. $100 million? Higher or Lower?
More good news!
The lawyer should also file a suit against the Distict of Columbia. Anyone that has attended gatherings on the DC Mall has to jump through hoops to pass security. I dont understand how NP got through DC security with a large drum. It seems like a set up and the left picked out Sandman for harassment. DC played a part Im certain.

Whether the others settle or not, it will cost them MORE now. The public will view this as an admission of guilt. You can bet that the kids lawyers will beat the WaPo lawyers over the head with this. Its not supposed to be a precedent, but it is.
The entire left turned on this man and trashed him and tried to destroy him. Too bad there is no way to sue the entire leftist establishment: media, dem party, fascists.
Hahaha. ATT/cnn are such complete losers. Hopefully, they have learned something. What a rotten corporation that appparently despises Free America.
I was told by a FB pal who’s a retired DC insider-lawyer than the settlement includes a provision that prevents CNN from contributing any funds to support the legal fees of its news staff against any personal liability litigation from Sandemann. Sweet!
