The Gibson's do not deserve anywhere near that much money
they absolutely deserve 10 times that much, that is the only thing that ensures descrimination of this type and violating a persons rights to not be repeated

A $20+ million gap in general damages & punitive damages just seems excessive. I get punitive damages are supposed to send a message, but it seems high for a family owned bakery to justify getting THAT much.
You go through the fricking hell that family went through for that length of time and I'm quite sure you attitude would changed...

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when the board heard about the verdict. Good for the Gibson’s

There were repeated death threats against the family. It’s disgusting what these people went through.

I’m so happy about this verdict. I can’t believe Michelle Malkin is a graduate of this school. Not sure how she avoided the brainwashing.

The damage was worse than most realize. On a walk through campus several weekends ago, this reporter talked to about 20 students at random on campus, and every one of them said they would never shop at Gibson’s because the business and family are racist. When shown the police reports and the fact that the three shoplifters plead guilty and claimed “no racial profiling” was involved, most of the students I spoke with said, “Cops lie.”
And this is why Oberlin deserved the punitive damages judgement, and why the dean should be serving a prison sentence.

e, but 33mil is indeed real money to them and about a quarter of their annual operating budget
I thought that somebody posted their budget at 39 million of which 30 million was supplied out of interest from the endowment. They were operating with a 9 million dollar deficit.
That being said if they had to pull money from the operating budget to pay the settlement they could very well be put in an enormous bind. Their insurance premiums are about to go up as well.

I don't know that it has been determined. I believe the gummint decides.
No, the judgment is paid in whole or the party can start levying on property...its the winners choice as to which property to levy upon.
