In reply to the discussion: Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College: Jury awards more than $33 million punitive damages [View all]kwassa
(23,340 posts)73. thank you, great article.
I went to high school with Krista Long. Her father, Bill Long, ran the Oberlin Co-op Book Store for 30 years, now replaced by a Barnes and Noble owned store. I spent much of my high school years browsing in that store. I bought my art supplies there, too. I had to buy canvas next store in the fabric store. As I had no sweet tooth, I spent little time in Gibson's. Stores in Oberlin did not sell wine back then, it was a dry town.

Bullshit. There's nothing there worth millions. As for opining remotely, what about you?

"$40 million is probably more than this business made in the entirety of their history"

If the "black folks" were the 3 involved, they were not part of this lawsuit.

Oberlin: We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. Jury: 33 million in punitive damages.

I've always wondered what Paul Nungesser got out of Columbia, or what Duke forked over...

The Duke lacrosse case is different though, in that it was an internal conflict.
