After the parasite Lawyers, City Hall will gobble that money up never to be seen again.
Some, yes.
Later in the day, Starbucks announced it reached a financial settlement with the men.
The amount was not disclosed, but the chain said Robinson and Nelson will be given
the opportunity to complete their undergraduate degrees through a Starbucks
partnership with Arizona State University.
They will be able to earn their bachelor’s degrees with their tuition fully covered,
Starbucks said.
“settle the dispute by HELPING OTHERS”
there is more to the story than being told here.
No way the lawyers did this for $ 0.33
Not sure of the time they entered the store but here is the timeline from when the mgr approached them till they were on the way to the police station.

Let me try again. I screwed up the posting about the timeline.
snip
At 4:37, a female employee at the Starbucks called the police to report “two
gentlemen in my cafe that are refusing to make a purchase or leave.” Officers
arrived at the Starbucks 4:41, according to the tape. At 4:44, officers
requested backup and a supervisor for “a group of males causing a disturbance”
inside the Starbucks. Dispatch sent additional backup at 4:45.
At 5 p.m., the officers were en route to their headquarters with two arrests.
I’m sure some Freepers will automatically make the leap that they pocketed ‘millions’ . . .
The three Duke lacrosse kids collected about $55 million. Players who were NOT ARRESTED also got large payoffs, I doubt there were a lot of Freepers calling that outrageous.
Shakedowns to fund “social justice” causes.
I still think it’s weird no one ever tracked down the clerk who made the call. The whole thing had the feel of a set-up.
What’s the statute for:
sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything
"...tracked down the clerk..."
There’s money to be made in faux victimization. Flood gates are open now.
You don't think there are any white people left in Philadelphia?
And did you overlook the fact that this entire Starbucks fiasco is race based?
Started by two black men who complained they thought they were being singled out because of their race?
And did YOU overlook the fact I said I DID the SAME THING at Starbucks and no one ever approached me? You’re the perfect example of why this site is drifting further away from what it was so great at, a place to find articles and blogs we can read . . . now it’s nothing but a hate fest.
And a place where NO ONE can feel empathy for a victim, it’s ALWAYS either the ‘black guy’s fault’ or ‘what about us whites’?
They WERE profiled, if not I would have been asked to leave too . . . it’s a pretty simple premise to me.
I didn’t see any of the normal attempt to race bait or sensationalize BY THE TWO who were arrested.
They showed a lot more maturity about this than a number of the commenters on this thread.
"...I DID THE SAME THING IN BOCA RATON..."
Happy to report that in the future they can pay for all the “protection money” they want without my help.
You need to take a cold shower and cool off a little FRiend.
0.01%. That’s how it works. More money in deciding who gets what than receiving the funds. Department of education is an example.
