THE PRICE OF WOKENESS AND STUPIDITY IS $31 MILLION, PLUS INTEREST AND LEGAL FEES

By Bob Walsh


Peters Hall                                     Peters Hall at Oberlin College.

Oberlin College has now paid out the full $36.5 million it owes to the owners of Gibson's Bakery after it lost a defamation case 

 

You may remember this one.  Six years ago an Oberlin College student, who is Black, went into Gibson's Baker and Deli near the college and tried to buy some booze with a bad, fake ID.  He got called on it by the clerk.  He then tried to steal some booze.  A fight ensued.  Two of the thieves buddies (black) jumped in.  The cops showed up.  The thieves got arrested.  They screamed RACISTS.
 
 Jonathan Aladin, Endia Lawrence and Cecelia WhettstoneThe three students claimed they were racially profiled when they were caught stealing from Gibson's Bakery.
 

A bunch of professional liberal assholes started picketing the bakery accusing them of racism for not allowing Black people to steal from them.  Then (here comes the kicker) staff from Oberlin College, not just professors but administrative staff, came out in support of the "protesters" and accused the owners of the bakery of racism.  The owners business was badly damaged by the allegations, and they sued.

This week the Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear a lower court appeal in the matter.  Oberlin is required to pay a total of $31 million dollars in compensatory damages and punitive damages as well as interest and legal fees.  Oberlin has expressed unhappiness with the verdict but has said they will pay.  

I am glad the people at Gibson's hung in there and were able to carry the day.  If I am ever again in Ohio I will make a point of stopping by and telling them so.

I thought wokeness and stupidity are one and the same.
