Lawsuit Over Punishment for Not Kneeling to BLM

A library Christmas tree ban reversed after a woke grinch vented her spleen isn’t the only happy news recently. Sanity has also been restored at Virginia Tech. A patriotic young lady was punished by her soccer coach for refusing to kneel in obeisance to Black Lives Matter hooligans as they looted and vandalized her country to advance their leftist ideology. But now:

A federal judge has decided that a former Virginia Tech women’s soccer player can legally sue the team’s coach for benching her after she declined to kneel in a social justice protest. Judge Thomas Cullen for the Western District of Virginia found on December 2 that Kiersten Hening’s First Amendment rights may have been infringed by Coach Charles “Chugger” Adair for declining to participate in the demonstration at the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement.

For refusing to kneel, she was not only benched but subjected to verbal abuse from Coach Chugger. According to her lawsuit,

“Adair’s tirade was so extreme, so personally directed at Hening, and so disconnected from the game itself, that her teammates approached her afterward to comfort her and express their shock.”

Her suit asks for damages and for Adair to “undergo First Amendment training.”

It isn’t easy to stand for what’s right against liberal bullies. Kudos to Miss Hening for her courage. Best of luck to her in the trial.

Why You Should Only Riot on Behalf of Your Rulers

When taking part in a violent mob, make sure to riot on behalf of the liberal establishment. That way, you are likely to avoid punishment. You may even be richly rewarded:

A federal court Wednesday approved Minneapolis, Minnesota’s agreement to pay 12 protesters a combined $600,000 for injuries sustained during 2020 demonstrations over George Floyd’s murder [sic].

That comes to $50,000 apiece, in addition to whatever wealth they acquired by looting.

Biden’s IRS has yet to issue a statement on whether BLM/Antifa thugs can deduct the bricks they throw through windows and the gasoline they use to set neighborhoods on fire as business expenses.

The agreement settled a lawsuit brought by American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) on the protesters’ behalf, and bars Minneapolis from arresting or using physical force including chemical agents [e.g., tear gas] against people demonstrating legally, according to a Wednesday ACLU-MN press release.

Anything to tie the hands of local law enforcement. You never know when the Powers That Be will find it strategically advantageous to seize on an insignificant event like a career criminal’s fentanyl overdose to ignite another wave of devastating riots.

In contrast, those whose unruly behavior is in opposition to the ruling class will be punished severely.

Taxpayers Owe Kobe Bryant’s Rich Widow $16 Million

Just because you are a zillionaire with no need for the money is no reason not to exploit our deranged legal system to loot taxpayers for some jackpot justice:

A federal jury found Wednesday that Los Angeles County must pay Kobe Bryant’s widow $16 million for emotional distress caused by deputies and firefighters sharing photos of the bodies of the NBA star and his daughter taken at the site of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed them.

The rich lady is offended because some first responders looked at some pictures. Consequently, everyone who pays taxes in LA County owes her money.

The courts are run by lunatics and shame no longer exists, so what’s to stop Vanessa Bryant from cashing in big on her “emotional distress”?

County attorney J. Mira Hashmall … emphasized that the photos had never appeared publicly, and had never even been seen by the plaintiffs. She said that meant that Sheriff Alex Villanueva and other officials had taken decisive and effective action when they ordered those who had the photos to delete them.

How and whether Vanessa Bryant was harmed by the pictures are unclear. The apparent purpose of the looting spree was not so much to compensate her for her supposed injury as for jurors to express what loyal fans they are of Kobe Bryant.

The jury returned its verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated on Aug. 24 because it uses both of his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. Tuesday would have been Kobe’s 44th birthday.

Think how many hours you would have to work at your job — or rather, how many lifetimes — to earn as much as Vanessa Bryant gets from being married to a dead sports star and proclaiming herself to be upset.

Work doesn’t pay. Posing as a victim pays. That’s why we see ever less of the former and ever more of the latter.

Vanessa Bryant cried quietly as [the verdict] was read.

She might spare one of her lucrative tears for taxpayers.

$1.8 Billion Jackpot for NYC Teachers of Color Who Failed

Even as students pass through public schools without learning to read and write, taxpayers are bled white by the looting spree that is public education:

Thousands of former Black and Latino teachers in New York City stand to collect an astonishing $1.8 billion in damages after the city stopped fighting a decades-long discrimination lawsuit which alleged that a licensing test that teachers were formerly required to pass was biased.

When leftists sue a government run by leftists, jackpot justice is a foregone conclusion.

Between 1990 and 2014, New York State required all public school teachers to pass a Liberal Arts and Sciences Test in order to maintain their teaching license. In 1996, a group of minority teachers and prospective educators filed a lawsuit to abolish the testing requirement, citing a disparity in passage rates between white and minority test-takers.

According to liberal ideology, if whites do better on a test, then the test is racist. To suggest that those who score poorly are less qualified would be — you guessed it — racist.

Those blessed with the good fortune to be oppressed by racism get to loot the rest of us via the government.

Under the settlement just reached, the city has already given payouts totaling $835 million, with up to another billion potentially in play.

That’s how much you get for flunking a test. There is no cash reward for passing the test. Liberalism rewards failure, not success — unless you count this as success:

Sylvia Alvarez … will receive $1.1 million after failing the test ten times and ultimately losing her job. Another former teacher, Theodore Regis, who lost his teaching job after failing the test five times, “earned” himself a payout of $1.2 million.

It’s no wonder that students can’t pass meaningful tests, if the teachers themselves are not expected to pass them.

As far back as the 2018-19 academic year, per-pupil spending in the city was $28,004, by far the highest among the nation’s 100 largest school systems. By 2022, according to the New York Post, it had risen to $34,900 per pupil, a growth rate of more than twice the inflation figure from 2000-2021.

Yet no matter how much money is wasted, NYC public schools are a failure, due to the liberal ideology that suffuses them.

The few who can, escape to charter schools:

Eighth graders in New York’s largest charter-school network, Success Academy, recently excelled in four of the five Regent exams that are required for graduation from high school. The students’ overall pass rates on all the exams were a stunning 93% or higher.

However, in a country run by moonbats, failing tests is more advantageous than passing them.

Transsexual Sues Chick-fil-A

Fail to hire a black transsexual and you may be sued. Hire a black transsexual like Erin Taylor — and you may be sued.

Weeps woke WaPo:

When Erin Taylor, 29, began working at a Decatur, Ga., Chick-fil-A in August last year, she [sic] thought it would be a turning point: a chance to climb up “the corporate ladder” and, after nearly two pandemic years, a way to gain some financial stability, she [sic] said.

Instead, she [sic] was met with sexual harassment from co-workers on her [sic] very first day at work, Taylor alleges in a discrimination lawsuit filed last month.

Chick-fil-A put Shrillary and Obama donor Rodney Bullard in charge of its charitable donations. It shovels money at leftist causes, and cut off the Salvation Army for being deemed insufficiently pro-LGBT. But 10 years ago, CEO Dan Cathy said he supported traditional marriage. The franchise will never be forgiven for this sin against leftism, no matter how obsequiously Cathy displays his submission to political correctness.

Her [sic] lawsuit alleges that for four months, she [sic] was regularly misgendered at work by multiple co-workers and taunted with homophobic and transphobic comments in front of management and customers.

That should be good for a few $million. Beats making chicken sandwiches for a living.

Nearly a year after first working at Chick-fil-A, Taylor says she [sic] struggles to recognize herself [sic]. She [sic] is constantly on guard, finds it difficult to trust people and experiences anxiety and panic attacks, she [sic] said.

Whereas before Chick-fil-A oppressed him, Taylor was normal and well adjusted.

The store fired Taylor in November for tardiness and for allegedly walking off during her [sic] shift.

The racists at Chick-fil-A forget that according to the Smithsonian, punctuality is a symptom of whiteness.

Taylor is seeking damages, including for lost wages and benefits and “mental and emotional suffering,” according to the complaint. She [sic] said she [sic] hopes the lawsuit inspires other transgender people to stand up for themselves.

Transgender bullies are the last people to need encouragement to stand up for themselves. This tiny minority has forced American culture to conform to its literally psychotic ideology, as the media’s use of feminine pronouns to describe guys like Taylor and even female prisoner-impregnator Demi Minor confirms. However, the lawsuit will no doubt encourage more suits if successful.

Enjoy your chicken sandwiches while you can. The vindictive LGBT mob will likely sue Chick-fil-A out of existence, before moving on to everyone else they don’t like or who has money.

GEICO Forced to Pay Woman for Catching STD in Car

If auto insurance gets even more expensive, it will be in part because insurers are now required to pay massive jackpots to people who contract venereal diseases by fornicating in cars:

The Missouri Court of Appeals has upheld a $5.2 million judgment against an insurance company in the case of a Jackson County woman who claimed she unwittingly caught a sexually transmitted disease from her former romantic partner in his car.

The ex-boyfriend was found liable for not telling her he had a tumor. But he doesn’t have pockets as deep as GEICO’s, so everyone who buys car insurance picks up the tab for the jackpot justice.

According to court papers, the woman, identified in court records only as M.O., notified GEICO in February 2021 of her intention to seek monetary damages, alleging she contracted HPV, the human papillomavirus, from an insured member in his automobile.

In the olden days, when the notion of personal responsibility for your own behavior still existed, women tended to refrain from sex outside of marriage. One of the benefits was that they were less likely to contract STDs.

Kyle Rittenhouse: Accountability Is Coming

The religion of our moonbat rulers requires sacrificial victims. During the tsunami of Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots, the media priesthood focused on Kyle Rittenhouse, a good kid who tried to protect people’s property and who was forced to shoot sociopathic scumbags who were trying to kill him. He was cast in the role of Emmanuel Goldstein for a marathon version of the Two Minutes Hate.

Fortunately, there was ample video evidence of Rittenhouse’s innocence. This country is still sufficiently civilized for him to be found not guilty in a court of law. As noted previously regarding the vicious, deliberately deceptive, and wantonly irresponsible media,

The liberal media propagandists driving Rittenhouse’s persecution should be sued. They learned nothing from what they did to Nick Sandmann. Maybe this time the lesson will stick.

Whether the lesson sticks is doubtful, but they are going to get sued all right:

Rittenhouse went beyond just announcing he was suing the media for the lies they spewed about him. Instead, he and his legal team had set up an organization, The Media Accountability Project (TMAP), that would take up his cases and the cases of others who the media heinously targeted with lies and misinformation in an attempt to ruin their lives.

The odious Whoopi Goldberg, who continued demonizing him even after he was acquitted, are among those in the crosshairs.

The ultimate accountability will come when it sinks in to the public at large that the liberal media establishment is malign and has zero credibility. Without an audience, it has no power.

Lawsuits as a Tool to Revoke Constitution

They could repeal the Second Amendment, rendering us defenseless, if they had public support. But they don’t, so Democrats pursue this key objective by insidious means — like lawsuits:

Families of Sandy Hook victims reached a $73 million settlement Tuesday in their lawsuit against Remington Arms, manufacturer of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle used to kill 20 kids and six staff members in the 2012 massacre.

The parents of any murdered child have sympathy. This sympathy is exploited for financial gain.

Josh Koskoff, a lawyer for victims, said Tuesday that the suit was just as much about greed as it was guns.

Yes, you might say so Josh. The greed of trial lawyers would shame a swarm of locusts.

Good thing the massacre wasn’t committed by driving through a playground. Then we would have to pay more for cars to finance the looting spree.

It should go without saying that Remington bears no more responsibility for Sandy Hook than Brunswick would if a maniac threw a bowling ball off an overpass and through someone’s windshield.

The lawyer said the settlement “should serve as a wake-up call not only to the gun industry, but also the insurance and banking companies that prop it up.”

This implies that the locust swarm may come after banks for processing credit card payments used to purchase firearms. As Willie Sutton might have said, that’s where the money is.

Obama’s tyrannical “wingman” Eric Holder would approve. Remember Operation Choke Point?

Public sympathy is also exploited to advance political objectives.

Remington declared bankruptcy for the second time in 2020… The company was apparently drowning in debt from legal fees.

That is the goal for liberals. Sure, you have a right to bear arms. But how will you acquire a firearm after trial lawyers have looted into bankruptcy everyone involved in their manufacture and sale?

If Democrats can use lawsuits to effectively repeal the Second Amendment, they will apply this tactic on the First, which they hate even more. Any speech that people like Susan Wojcicki deem “harmful” will expose you to financial ruin. After all, speech is violence, according to woke ideology.
