I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.
McGill was fucking brutal. Physical. Gross. Scary.
Also famously the place where a professor yelled go back to Poland.
"A #Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action alleging #McGillUniversity failed to adequately protect #Jewish #students from #antisemitism, harassment and intimidation on campus following the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack on #Israel.
The #lawsuit was brought by #DavidCobrin, who was a #McGill #undergraduate when the events described in the case began, and covers Jewish students registered at the #university between Oct. 8, 2023, and the publication of an official notice of the ruling. The plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of 33 per cent of tuition and student fees, along with $5 million in collective #punitivedamages. The ruling allows those claims to proceed but does not determine whether McGill is liable."

The filing argues: "Fifth, Byrne is a recidivist." It also cites prior defamation litigation, noting that Mr. Nazerali was awarded over $1 million. See pp. 18–19.
Do punitive damages still serve their intended purpose when a defendant is alleged to have assets in the hundreds of millions?
Does a $1.7M punitive award meaningfully deter future misconduct, or is it simply another litigation expense?

She remembered the fable of the emperor: “When you’ve actually faced the man, he’s just a man w/no clothes on,” she said. “It’s the people around him that are giving him the #power.”
Jurors took less than three hours of deliberation on Friday to strip away some of that power. The verdict included $18.3 million to compensate #EJeanCarroll for her ordeal & $65 million in #PunitiveDamages after the jury found that #Trump had acted with #malice.

Breakdown:
The #jury determined that #EJeanCarroll suffered more than nominal damages from Trump's 2019 statements and awards her $18.3 million in compensatory damages.
The jury determines that #Trump acted maliciously for one of the two statements at issue.
The jury determines that Trump #ActedMaliciously on the other statement.
The jury awards Carroll $65 million in #PunitiveDamages.
Overall, Carroll has been awarded $83.3 million in damages, a massive loss for Trump.

#JudgeKaplan is still instructing the jurors. The jury must also decide if #Trump acted “maliciously” when he made his two statements in 2019 about #EJeanCarroll, he says. At the time, Trump said he did not know who Carroll was & that she was lying to sell a book. The jury will award #PunitiveDamages if they decide Trump #ActedMaliciously when he made one or both of those statements, Judge Kaplan explains.

Per Michael Gold, #Trump’s account sent about 16 posts in 15 minutes on social media just now. They mostly attack #JudgeKaplan & #EJeanCarroll herself, w/the familiar insults.
(he’s freaking crazy! I Hope Roberta Kaplan tells the Judge & jury. This is exactly why he needs serious #PunitiveDamages.)
Meanwhile Alina Habba, Trump's lawyer, said it is clear that Carroll suffered no #EmotionalDistress & also suffered no professional #harm.

Roberta Kaplan tells the jury that #Trump should pay her $12M to cover the cost of repairing her #reputation, $12M for the #EmotionalDistress #EJeanCarroll experienced plus #PunitiveDamages. “It will take an unusually high punitive” amount to stop Trump, she says.
Kaplan says she won’t ask for a specific number in punitive damages, but says that they should have an effect on Trump -- & she notes that he is a billionaire. “Billions of dollars to Donald Trump is just a drop in the bucket.”

- He wants to #punish the #beer #brand for exercising their #ConstitutionalRights, because they associated with "#radical #social #ideologies" and "#woke #virtuesignaling."
As soon as the suit is filed #AnheuserBusch should file an #antiSLAPP motion for summary judgement, and a 42 USC §1983 #countersuit seeking #PunitiveDamages along with full #payment of their #legalfees.
