It would be poetic justice if Sandmann eventually owned the Compost.

My concern is: what happens if the kids lose? The press would then declare all out war on conservatives, with lie after lie. Remember, Zimmerman lost his suit against NBC.
I fear you may be correct.
Kentucky?
Chief Ten Teeth and a gang of black haters attacked the kids with shouted obscenities and threats of violence.
Then the sickos in the 'press' piled on to attack the children.
The kid was NOT a public figure. He did NOT attack back. He did NOT deserve the score of the rabid haters at the Washington Post.
++++++++++++ If the situation had been reversed...
Say a Black Lives Matter protest had happened and some black children (who had attended were waiting for a bus to take them home) were confronted with a gun rights group shouting obscenities at the black girls... and a MAGA Hat guy walks over to the girls and starts banging a drum 5 inches from her face - DOES ANYONE THINK THE THUGS AT THE WASHINGTON POST WOULD TRASH THE YOUNG BLACK GIRLS?
The Washington Post crossed the line because their hatred of half the people in the United States has rotted out their brains. They are biased jerks who push an agenda - the Washington Post has thrown away their credibility - and they're attempting to throw away the credibility of the whole profession. The KID was NOT a public figure. He was NOT doing ANYTHING but waiting for the bus. Press haters went to far this time.
The lawsuit was I believe filed in Kentucky
-——The KY laws on defamation are VERY much in Sandmanns favor.-——
For the Record.......
If the suit is filed in Federal court, Federal law must be the basis, not Kentucky law
At Holiday Inn last week I thought about being a lawyer
Thanks - I’d only heard the defamation case described in terms of the favorable KY laws.
I went back & looked at the actual lawsuit - the attorneys are making the case for “False and Defamatory Accusations with actual malice and common law malice”
There’s plenty of “negligently and recklessly” mentioned as well.
