College coughs up 36 million bucks to bakers shop. "Get woke, go broke" proves out, again. Maybe the college should sue BLM?

Remember this story that goes all the way back to 2016?

Well, the college has forked over the dough after being caught in a Smollett.

Thought you would like to know.

“Gibson’s Bakery filed the defamation suit against Oberlin College in 2017, a year after the shoplifting incident where one of the students used a fake ID to try to buy a bottle of wine, while swiping two more bottles, court papers said.

Gibson’s son, Allyn, chased the trio — Jonathan Aladin, Endia Lawrence and Cecelia Whettstone — out of the store, where a scuffle ensued. When police arrived, the students alleged Allyn racially profiled and assaulted them.”

Sadly, one of the owners did not survive to see justice done.

“An Oberlin College staffer created and distributed flyers claiming the family had a “LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION” and urged shoppers to boycott the store. Protestors from the school, both students and teachers, picketed outside the Ohio bakery.

The family lost a substantial amount of business because of the allegations, Gibson said, even after the students admitted in 2017 that they hadn’t been racially profiled. They pled guilty to attempted theft.

The Gibsons decided to sue the college because the family’s patriarch, 89-year-old Allyn Sr. “who had dedicated his life to the business, did not want to die being falsely branded a racist,” Gibson said. Allyn died earlier this year.”

“Oberlin College was fined $11 million for defamation in 2019 after finding the college defamed the bakery when the staffer made the flyers, but the school tried to appeal the ruling. In September, the Ohio Supreme Court denied Oberlin’s bid to hear its appeal and ordered it to pay the Gibsons over $36 million.

“It’s definitely about right and wrong. And to be quite frank, the three students that shoplifted, they admitted their crimes,” McHugh said Thursday. “It was Oberlin College that could never admit that what they did was wrong.”

I doubt this will lead to a string of firings of “woke” activists in colleges whose advocate for the same racist bigotry of the black supremacists in BLM (no whites allowed, black only colleges and classes, non-white facilities). But at least this family gets to continue doing business with the students of the college that tried to throw them out on the street.
