I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Kentucky by Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann, 16, seeks $250 million in damages, the amount that Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and the world’s richest person, paid for the Post in 2013. The lawsuit claims that the newspaper “wrongfully targeted and bullied” the teen to advance its bias against President Donald Trump because Sandmann is a white Catholic who wore a Make America Great Again souvenir cap on a school field trip to the March for Life anti-abortion rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 18. The Washington Post’s Vice President for Communications Kristine Coratti Kelly said: “We are reviewing a copy of the lawsuit and we plan to mount a vigorous defense.” In a photo that went viral from the incident, Sandmann is seen standing face to face with Native American activist Nathan Phillips. The incident
Quote:sparked outrage on social media.
Quote:FIRST OF MANY In a statement, Sandmann’s Atlanta-based lawyer, Lin Wood, said additional similar lawsuits would be filed in the weeks ahead. A private investigation firm retained by Covington Diocese in Park Hills, Kentucky, found in a report released last week no evidence the teenagers provoked a confrontation. The investigation also determined that the students did not direct any racist or offensive comments toward Phillips although several performed a “tomahawk chop” to the beat of his drum. Phillips claimed in a separate video that he heard the students chanting “build that wall,” during the encounter, a reference to Trump’s pledge to build a barrier along the U.S. border with Mexico. The investigators said they found no evidence of such a chant and that Phillips did not respond to multiple attempts to contact him.

Their rich families and the dark money behind the suit will get nothing.

Do Right, Be Right. :) If corporations are to be given rights as individuals, they should be subject to the same laws and punishments. I can see giving a corporation the death penalty (disbanding its holdings, distributing its assets, striking its name or any of its brand names and copyrights from use) if it manages to kill several people (as corporations are wont to do). Because at that point, wouldn't we brand a human as a "mass killer"? So why should we treat corporations any different? Clearly, they have trangressed a significant moral code.

Quote:So now that you've admitted to being a hypocrite and no different than most people here, maybe you will finally get around to realizing that your "tribe" is no better than the other "tribe" and stop categorically demonizing people. And instead of responding to some cartoon character in your head (whether that is "Republicans" or "Trump voter") maybe you'll start responding to the individuals here, and WHAT THEY ACTUALLY POST and not the endless loop playing in your head?
