And the moment at Oberlin gets even sweeter

The jury just rendered its verdict on punitive damages in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case.

Daniel McGraw, our reporter in the courtroom, reports that in addition to the $11.2 million compensatory damages awarded last Friday, the jury awarded a total of $33 million in punitive damages, which will probably be reduced by the court to $22 million because of the state law cap at twice compensatory (it’s not an absolute cap, but probably will apply here). That brings the total damages to $33 million. We will have the breakdown soon. 
The jury also awarded attorney’s fees, to be determined by the judge.
And the wailing of the leftists is heard upon the land.

Not just over losing this case, oh no: every professor, president, dean, and teacher at a university who's taken part in trashing people in the name of Social Justice/bigotry/racism/socialism just got a first-class kick in the balls.  This opens the possibility of any of them being sued by the people they were trying to ruin.

Sweet, it is.
