To: know.your.why

because they were unknown minors....this will turn out well.
that list of defendants is basically those seeking a civil war based on creating a widespread attack against white christians.
I really believe they want a mass genocide. I hope this legal team can squeeze that in somewhere.

An in-law and very serious fisherman of mine, observed the cows’ action you describe. His data led him to the point of saying it is the action of the Moon, like the tides.

The press will find a friendly judge
That would be a neat trick.

The plaintiff chooses the venue.

They will have no problem proving actual damage. It’s the punitive damages that will force these people to pony up the policy limits. They are all going to settle. None of them will dare to take this to a Kentucky jury.

Sue and publicize. And then collect. The MAGA kids have a lot of support, but they also have a lot of detractors who will continue defaming them for the rest of their lives.
If the listed defendants have to pony up big bucks, enthusiasm for defaming children will dry up. Minors definitely, IMHO, cannot be put in the “public figure” box and denied the right to sue. That’s what their lawyer said, and that certainly sounds right.

The New York Times v. Sullivan SCOTUS decision which made it so hard to sue for libel was unanimous in 1964. Trouble is, the facts before the Court then sound quaint now. First and foremost, the plaintiff who lost that case wasn’t a Republican or a Democrat who would be in good standing today - he was a southern Democrat. And secondly, “bias in the media” really only became an issue after 1964. Not to say that Goldwater didn’t complain about “the referees” in 1964, but . . .

The case was a pure libel complaint, but the reality is that all major journalism is in, as Adam Smith phased it, “a conspiracy against the public.” They must be sued on antitrust grounds, and prevented from using each other as references for their libelous stories. Presently if you sue one of them, that one will say, “but others said the same thing first.” But if the courts are shown that major journalism outlets are all in cahoots, that should be a whole different ball game.

Fondly do I hope.

In reality Sullivan only affects Republicans; Democrats don’t get libeled.

I'm sure these letters are what's known in the legal profession as "Notice of Intent to Sue", letters which are part of the normal process for suing someone.

They are a notice and demand for resolution of the issue or it will be taken to court via a lawsuit. Sometimes the wronged party will get the offending party to settle before having to incure court costs of lawsuits and attorney's fees.

I seem to recall, at least in some sates, that it is illegal threaten a lawsuit in writing without going through with it but I could be wrong on that.

Expect these attorneys to follow through and slap these people with lawsuits and head to court, if the targets choose not to settle or resolve the issue beforehand.

Don’t forget that the Judge in KY federal court where this case will be brought entered a multi million dollar judgement against Nik Ritchie in favor of some local slut who actually did sex her 17 year old student.

If television people could be sued for being wrong, there would be no weather reports.

Really? Name one time the weather was openly slandered? These assholes knowledge made up lies and accused kids wearing hats of racism. These so call media people are going to learn a lesson the hard way. They will loose this.

As a general rule, do weather reporters slander private citizens?
