Refer to my post #10 or the first two paragraphs at the top of this page. In the first paragraph it says, "A federal court ordered Los Angeles to hand over more than $100,000 to the National Rifle Association..." In the second paragraph it says, "On Tuesday, he ordered city officials to pay for the Second Amendment group's attorney fees, which totaled nearly $150,000."

Again 100K plus 150K equals 250K.

Yeah, you completely misread the article.

A total of under 150,000 was granted, not 250,000.

Proof you misread the article in following links.

Your mistake was thinking the introductory paragraph was talking about a different additional award, when both mentions of an award were talking about the same thing.

“more than 100,000” and “nearly 150,000” were the same award, not two different awards.

It is common in journalism to have a summary paragraph, where duplicate information is explained more precisely in the main body of the article.

All of these articles explain the NRA was only awarded atty fees, $143,000
