Just my speculation:
I think that Sandmann being represented by some legal firepower is giving some people second thoughts about sweeping such instances under the rug. Why?
Berkeley realized that they may be facing real legal liability if they continue to blow off the assault. What if the assault victim winds up being represented by similar legal counsel, a high profile aggressive attack dog type?
The left has used lawfare before, why not us?
Sue the pukes to the point where they have to join the homeless. And the same for those who sweep such incidents under the rug.
Boy’s gonna walk with a couple million after the law suit against the city of Berkeley and its PD.
