Remember Gibson’s Bakery? An Oberlin College Dean led a Social Justice war on a local small business. They created a crime fabricated a narrative to substantiate it then tried to ruin the Bakery.
They protested and spread flyers labeling the white family that owns (Gibson’s) as racist for stopping shoplifting students of color. It affected their business, and they are suing the College and select staff who they claim abetted the defamation.
In early 2019 the courts found Oberlin guilty and complicit in the smear. The total price tag rang up at around 31 million dollars. Oberlin began to appeal, and appeal, and drag out the process. They wanted anything but to pay for what the #woke little college had done – lead by a dean on the social justice warpath. A dean no one tried to reign in until after they were sued.
Ultimately, David Gibson and his father (Granpa) would pass away before the bill was paid, but they lived to hear the verdict, and the Gibson family and their business finally got their money.
The last we checked in on Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College, the Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear Oberlin College’s appeal, ending the college’s fight to overturn the massive jury verdict. The $25 million verdict plus interest and attorney’s fees resulted in an almost $32 million judgment, with interest running at about $4000 per day since June 2019. In all, over $36 million was owed, secured by an appeal bond.
The interest charged is a nice touch, and I’m not familiar enough to know if that’s normal, but bravo. By delaying those snide, #woke, liberal-privilege bastages lost another five million.
