This Jury Just Awarded The Bakery $11 Million
A family that has owned and operated an Ohio bakery near Oberlin College since 1885 suffered accusations of racism and protests after stopping a black Oberlin College student from shoplifting. . .
A witness for the plaintiffs, accountant Frank Monaco, had testified that the Gibsons were set to lose about $5.8 million over the next 30 years because of the accusations of racism. He noted that the business had been in operation for over 130 years, adding, “When you have people thinking you’re racist, and you live in a small town, the accusation can last a lifetime.”
A witness testifying for the defendants claimed the business was worth only $35,000.

The mall here no longer even attempts to stop shop lifters after a few calls of racism.
So the mall tore down about half its square footage and is thinking about removing the food court.
You can not have two systems (or more) of law and expect a peaceful society.
Wonderful. Hit these obnoxious SJWs where it hurts.
Yeah, but look at what it's cost.
What happened to the article? It just cuts off for me just before a quote from the judge.
Translation concerning what the protesters are saying:
All white shoplifters are privileged so others should be able to get away with it.
Yes! Take that you social justice warrior.
How twisted the Left is. Shoplifters, caught and admitted to stealing pastries, later decide to shift gears and making it about race. That’s their defense now? Yeah, we committed the crime, but if you try to do something about it, we’ll call you a racist. How’d that defense work out for ya, Oberlin?
The best things those shoplifters have going for them is that I wasn’t the shopkeeper.
The misleading headline had me picturing someone getting arrested for walking out without paying for a pastry. There is so much more to this story.... fake ID attempt to buy wine, smacking a phone out of a store employee's hands, demonstrations outside of the bakery by students and faculty members and general condemnation of being "racist." Finally someone unjustly accused fought back.
At a local Safeway the other day, I heard a commotion: the store clerks were alerting each other near one of the entrances, then I heard a loud BANG! I turned and saw the open doorway with food scattered all about and a woman sitting on the ground in the midst of it, with an overturned shopping cart nearby. She screamed at one of the clerks that he had pushed her, he denied it, security was called, she and a companion were hustled out of the store. They crossed the parking lot cursing at and hitting each other that their little plan had failed: there was a "hot food" bar near one of the entrances, one where you can load up on a number of prepared food items and take them to the cash register to pay.
People like the "customers" mentioned will probably eventually drive the "hot food" serve-yourself bars out of business.
A local delicatessen used to serve hot serve-yourself soups, one afternoon there was a young single mother, pregnant with her unborn infant kicking so hard you could see his hands and feet through her bare stomach, she had two little kids in two and was showing them how to use their fingers to scrape soup off of the soup pot lids. The deli eventually closed.
And won! Plus, the $11M does not include punitive damages, which, at the max, could be triple damages.
VERDICT: Jury awards Gibson’s Bakery $11 million against Oberlin College
Kroger in GA has closed most of their open “olive & salad bars” because of exactly what you just described.
This evil society hangs by a thread.
They better remove the bus routes there too, to the shell of a mall that will remain.
Certain types of people just fuch things up for everyone.
Legal Insurrection has been following this case for years. Good site for information.
Isn’t this story now old news as the bakery already won the suit against the university for $11 million and possibly triple damages more to be determined for the punitive portion of the suit.
But, it's the big corporations that get the most benefits from the government. Another example of the joyous results of "representative democracy" when the representatives are purchased since it's inexpensive to overcome the small percentage of eligible voters who actually bother to vote.
The Jury in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case has reached a verdict.
According to our reporter in the Courtroom, the jury awarded $11 million. Here are the details: Allyn W. Gibson awarded $5.8 million, David Gibson #3 million, Gibson Bros. $2,274,500. Next Tuesday there will be a separate punitive damages which could be a double award (meaning tripling the $11 million to $33 million).
Does anyone know of other cases like this one. I can’t come up with one.
