Divide by four, it's 750 K each, less attorney's fees. Not out of line at all. And I am sensitive to outrageous damages awards.

I don't like the settlement, either. I hope it gets reduced on appeal, but I think there was clear cut discrimination.

Part of the award was for punitive damages. These sorts of awards help insure incidents like this don't happen again. The cost is simply to high for the offending party.

They should have received $5,000,000 and part of the money should come out of the salaries of John Street and the rest of his cronies in the city government. These 4 white workers will never be able to work in a safe environment as long as they are in Philadelphia. This should serve as a lesson to the race hustlers who run that town.
