Lin Wood Files $250 Million Lawsuit Against the Washington Post for Defaming Innocent Child Nick Sandman
Fifty million here and fifty million there and suddenly Jeff Bezos has to economize on his Penis Filter photoshop suite.
Nick Sandmann sues WaPo for $250M+. https://t.co/RH2WUsSzS3
— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) February 19, 2019
INTRODUCTION 1.ThePost is a major American daily newspaper...Is it?
... published in Washington, D.C. which is credited with inventing the term "McCarthyism" in an editorial cartoon published in 1950... 2.In a span of three (3) days in January of this year commencing on January 19, the Post engaged in a modern-day form of McCarthyism by competing with CNN and NBC, among others, to claim leadership of a mainstream and social media mob of bullies which attacked, vilified, and threatened Nicholas Sandmann ("Nicholas"), an innocent secondary school child. 3.The Post wrongfully targeted and bullied Nicholas because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red "Make America Great Again" souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C.when he was unexpectedly and suddenly confronted by Nathan Phillips ("Phillips"), a known Native American activist, who beat a drum and sang loudly within inches of his face ("the January 18 incident"). 4.Nicholas stood quietly and respectfully for several minutes after being targeted and bullied by Phillips and Nicholas’body language remained non-aggressive and passive throughout the incident. ... 7.In targeting and bullying Nicholas by falsely accusing him of instigating the January 18 incident, the Post conveyed that Nicholas engaged in acts of racism by "swarming" Phillips, "blocking" his exit away from the students,and otherwise engaging in racist misconduct. 8.The Post ignored basic journalist standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented, biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump("the President") by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the President. 9.As a 16-year old secondary school student, Nicholas' political beliefs are anything but established and entrenched in his young mind. 10.Nicholas has zero history of political activism or aggressiveness and did not exhibit any such conduct even when confronted with unbridled racist attacks by activist bullies at the National Mall. 11.The Post's campaign to target Nicholas in furtherance of its political agenda was carried out by using its vast financial resources to enter the bully pulpitI'll say it for you: It moved.
by publishing a series of false and defamatory print and online articles which effectively provided a worldwide megaphone to Phillips and other anti-Trump individuals and entities to smear a young boy who was in its view an acceptable casualty in their war against the President. 12.Unlike the Post's abuse of the profession of journalism, Plaintiffs do not bring this lawsuit to use the judicial system to further a political agenda. This lawsuit is brought against the Post to seek legal redress for its negligent, reckless, and malicious attacks on Nicholas which caused permanent damage to his life and reputation. 13.The Post bullied an innocent child with an absolute disregard for the pain and destruction its attacks would cause to his life. 14.The Post proved itself to be aloud and aggressive bully with a bully pulpit. 15.In this country, our society is dedicated to the protection of children regardless of the color of their skin, their religious beliefs,or the cap they wear. 16.But the Post did not care about protecting Nicholas. To the contrary, the Post raced with a reckless disregard of the facts and truth because in this day and time there is a premium for being the first and loudest media bully. 17.The Post wanted to lead the charge against this child because he was a pawn in its political war against its political adversary –a war so disconnected and beyond the comprehension of Nicholas that it might as well have been science fiction. 18.The Post must be dealt with the same way every bully is dealt with and that is hold the bully fully accountable for its wrongdoing in a manner which effectively deters the bully from again bullying other children. In a civil lawsuit, punishment and deterrence is found in awarding money damages to the victim and target of the bully. 19.In order to fully compensate Nicholas for his damages and to punish, deter,and teach the Post a lesson it will never forget, this action seeks money damages in excess of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) --the amount Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, paid in cash for the Post when his company, Nash Holdings, purchased the newspaper in 2013.

Probably true but remember the lesson that THEY have taught everyone paying attention lately:
The prosecution is the punishment.
While not prosecuting these fks, they will be persecuting their bank accounts to pay the lawyers. Not Bezos per se but the individuals that will be sued next.

Actually the whole slander and libel legal structure is outside of Constitutional constraints.

If I were representing him, I'd argue that this incident will follow Sandman the rest of his life, and will adversely affect his college and career opportunities.
He's 16, and so we're talking about the economic loss he would suffer over the next 49 years. It doesn't take a very large number when multiplied by 49 (and including inflation, time value of money, etc.) to come up with a whopping sum.

And besides, Sullivan is another time when the Court created law. It created a situation where you have to get a Judge to decide if you are a public figure or not.
Thus a normal citizen cannot know which standard is in effect, without litigation?
Posted by: Don Q at February 19, 2019 08:18 PM (NgKpN)
But certainly not WaPo or NYT. These papers are Party mouthpieces, and slavishly loyal ones, with close ties to the IC.
Never forget that the Courts are loyal to the government, not the law. Bezos might have to appeal for awhile, but he'll eventually hit the level where a judge (or nine) will do his duty and put an end to this insolence by the commoners.
Best case scenario: he settles and makes this go away.
There will not be a final Court decision that runs counter to Party aims, or constrains State-run media.
At least it'll be fun to watch and will be embarrassing for the Press, until the shitty denouement.

Btw, this is problem pharma faced vis a vis kids reportedly hurt by vaccines. Some idiot such as Jenny McCarthy blubbing about how Timmy was made autistic by a vaccine could result in $100 million judgments. (Bad luck, acts of God, and Jenny's less than pure previous life being dismissed as possible explanations).
That's why the law has been changed to prevent such lawsuits. Vaccines are a low margin product, and pharma only produces them as a public service. Until the law was changed, pharma was getting out of the business, which was pure downside otherwise.

No, I'm pretty sure that they are dischargeable unless the lawsuit came out of, IIRC, a case based on "willful and malicious personal injury or death"

Actually different jurisdictions is an easy problem to solve. They just need to find local lawyers willing to act as their proxies for a small cut of the action, on contingency. Times in the legal biz being what they are, they'll have volunteers jumping out of the woodwork.

This law firm, Hemmer DeFrank Wessels, PLLC, and these two attorneys, L. Lin Woo, and Todd McMurty, is as advertised, the real deal. These are the type of dudes you bring on the field when you're going to Court, because not only are you going to win, you're going to do it in the Courtroom for the entire world to see. Indeed, as we'll see as they continue to file a string of lawsuits, the net damages will exceed $1B.
The plaintiff is a private-figure minor, on video, not doing what the Defendants said he did. Defamation laws disfavors public figures, but adds special duties to minors. The lawyers have a string of huge plaintiff verdicts under their belt for precisely these types of claims - libel and defamation.
The amount of damages here could very well be God Tier. The effect of losing this suit on the main stream media and social media users? Nothing short of earth shattering. Over/under on them also naming individual twitter users as co-defendants, jointly and severally liable?
We need to immediately commence a campaign to Court TV (if it's even around anymore) to fight like hell to get live cameras in this bitch!

I don't think I'd settle if I were a defendant unless it was for very

much with this kind of defamation; I doubt a jury's going to award a
whole lot, and you can always hope for rogue jurors, as it's the kind of
thing that folks will split on politically and might vote their
politics in the jury room. I don't really understand the sue everyone
for very large sums strategy.

They've got a good case, based only on publicly available information. Before they even sent out their retraction demands, they notified all of the defendants publicly (and no doubt privately as well) to preserve all evidence. Now, if they DO find that any of the Defendants destroyed evidence, that alone creates a presumption of conscious wrongdoing and guilt, which in this case goes to the alleged "malice" of the Defendants, and malice is what let's you get to the punitive damages.
Morons, I'm telling you, this is THE case. It's beautiful AND it's being handled by arguably the best defamation/libel Plaintiffs' attorneys in the Country, who is already ungodly rich from all of his previous Winning.

With all due respect, you miss the point. The threats are only a symptom.
If Sandman were on course to go to, e.g., Harvard, and then Harvard Law, that's out now. Clearly. We all know that. Horst Weasel got into Harvard - but not Cal State Long Beach - because he was a leftist poster boy. Sandman is exactly the opposite. David Duke would have a better shot at getting into Harvard.
So instead of coming out of college and law school and making $300,000/ y (offered to someone I know right after Yale Law), he'd be making maybe $75,000. Integrated over his working life - say, 45 years - that's a cubic shitload of money he's lost.
THAT'S the basis of a whacking great judgment/ settlement.

In a span of three (3) days in January of this year commencing on January 19, the Post engaged in a modern-day form of McCarthyism by competing with CNN and NBC, among others, to claim leadership of a mainstream and social media mob of bullies which attacked, vilified, and threatened Nicholas Sandmann ("Nicholas"), an innocent secondary school child.

So Huck, how many attempts were there on his life? If none, isn't that
indicative of how serious the threats were? If the threats were serious,
is Lin Wood trying to identify the threateners and sue them? Is there
an ongoing law enforcement investigation into the threats? Criminal
charges expected? If so, I'll retract.
So in five minutes on DuckDuckGo I found and have posted several articles, including interviews with the lead prosecutor. So there you go.
But I honestly do not comprehend how anyone could not be aware of what these families went through, and how dangerous this situation became. Do some research.

And because they're good attorneys, they no doubt duly reported each and every threat tweet and re-tweet to the police.

#BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to cancel $929 million in U.S. money for California's high-speed rail project and wants the state to return an additional $2.5 billion it already spent.
Seriously, more of this. Lots and lots more. And don't limit it to Commiefornia. By all means, let's go through line-item by line-item for every one of the commie-curious asshole states that signed-on with Cali's lawsuit against the wall and start zeroing them out.
Every. last. fucking. one.
(And yes, I certainly expect my camera-hound AG Maura Healey, with the nod-and-wink blessing of RINO fuck-face Chahlie Bakeah to join in if she hasn't already - and I'm only too happy to have any Masshole pork zeroed-out in kind.)

Jesus this trope irritates the hell out of me."
I remember arguing that one YEARS ago, Leftists started that crap back in the 80's. You're right about the Supreme Court decision, but it was ALSO a policy decision by Jerry Brown's dad 2 years before Reagan took over as Governor that started to clear out all of the asylums. If you want to be very strict, based on the facts, the biggest criticism you can make of Reagan was that he didn't bother to reverse Pat Brown's policies when he took over. But you should also note that the AMA and the Psych association and everybody else put out official statements at the time saying it was the Absolute Right Thing to Do, and they supported it completely.
So "blaming" that issue on Reagan is idiotic. It's one of the few issues where the Democrats of the day supported him completely.

My youngest daughter has cut me and her father off, because we're christian conservatives who do not condone her dabbling in witchcraft, thus prohibiting us from having any relationship with our granddaughters.
She equates that as hate, and thus we're haters.
What's sad is that once upon a time, she was involved in church and Sunday school, but at the age of 17 or so, she changed, and not for the better.
Now, at 26, she has bought into the lies of the left totally.
She would have no problem rounding us up into boxcars, for our own good, of course.

Yep! Our newly elected thumb of a governor wants to raise the gas tax 20 cents per gallon. We are the 4th highest taxed state in the nation. We have a 1.2 billion dollar surplus. And the dumb fucker wants to tax us even MORE. Part of me is glad. Let these same fucks crying about a minimum wage who voted for him fill their tanks with tears. We have plenty of money. Our roads suck balls because we put money from the road fund into choo choo trains and bike paths that get used 4 months out of the year. I loathe these fuckers. The only hope is that we are the only state with a two party house system (kind of like the fed govt) The senate is Rep controlled and they already said no way today.

This whole "treatment in the community" horseshit started with three Cali politicos, at least one of whom was from the Santa Clara area. From there, it became a thing, and spread over the country, culminating in 1975 with O'Connor v. Donaldson, which IIRC was in Florida.
But Reds here in Cali were very big on the "treatment in the community" horseshit for years before that, and now they blame Reagan for it. I believe that California law may have been the impetus for the whole thing, as California was just experiencing the Great Locust Invasion at that time.

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Federal funds always have strings. Phony costs for phony projects have to be paid back.
CA will come up with some sort of BS change to the Purpose and Need statement and claim the dropped project actually served its intended purpose. Feds will probably let them do it, and even pay for all the time required to change the environmental document as needed to match the actual outcome of the overall fraud.

Actually, they started the drumbeat (in CA) around 1970. It took some years to come to full malignant flower.
I knew a psychiatric nurse who lost her job when they closed down the mental hospital she worked in. They just basically unchained the gates and turned the nuts loose, having no legal basis on which to keep them.
Two years a local school was almost shot up by a raving nutjob, who but for two Mexican gardeners tackling him would have done so.
His neighbors had reported him to the cops on a monthly basis, but they had no legal grounds to drop the net on him. The standard now I believe is you have to show someone poses an IMMINENT threat to himself or others, or cannot take care of himself. And there wasn't any IMMINENT threat until he showed at the school armed to the teeth and bringing a propane cylinder to blow up the school. Apparently that was "imminent" enough to do the job.

No, replied the man, for he and the woman knew nothing about each other.
Then the Bald Eagle called to Coyote who happened to be going by and said to him, Do you see that woman? Try her first!
Coyote was quite willing and complied but immediately afterwards lay down and died.
The Bald Eagle went away and left Coyote dead but presently returned and revived him.
How did it work? said the Bald Eagle.
Pretty well but it nearly kills a man! replied Coyote.

It's basically a forced loan. It's that simple. But I'm sure they'll spend the money wisely.
They'll sell it as a way to "protect" people from the vagaries of the stock market. Instead, they'll offer the certainty that they'll fuck it up and piss the money away.

The winter before I moved down here, Huntspatch got 4" of snow followed by 2" of ice (talk about backwards...). Shut the place down for a whole week. I decided I wasn't going through another winter of that shit.
Nobody knew how to deal with it. No. Body. They ran out of salt for the overpasses (which froze first because elevated) in two days.

At first there were only a brother and sister until he struck her with a fish and told her to multiply and so it was.
In seven days a child was born to her and thereafter every seven days another.
and they increased very fast until there was danger that the world could not keep them.
Then it was made that a woman should have only one child in a year and after she should be surprised with anal and it has been so ever since.

Of course not. The government will invest all your retirement money in solar, wind, electric vehicle, and high speed rail companies, with people like AOC and Ilhan Omar sitting on the corporate boards.
Since these are the Investments of the Future, they will obviously yield much higher returns than stodgy traditional investments.
And if they don't, tough.

I think they'll sue EVERYONE, including the fake Vietnam veteran Indian and individual twitter users. Not because of the money, but to meter out pudding level punishment.
This could be the case to set new rules about public discourse in social media. With so much money at stake, they could very well go after twitter and facebook as well, because the economics are there to justify trying to play new ground in the law. All of the legal theories we throw around started somewhere, in some case, where a judge decided to define a given wrong, and that decision was upheld through the appeals process, thus becoming the basis for hundreds of thousands of future cases. This could be that case to social media.
All I know is there are a lot of companies lawyering up tonight, getting ready for the storm. Then there's all the little people that jumped on the bandwagon, the people that don't have the means to hire top attorneys, and who also may very well be lassoed into this big boy. Lots of defense lawyers gearing up.

Years ago, I was part of a group of moms that would meet once a week to pray for our children, their teachers and schools.
If any of you want to create a prayer group to pray for our children, I would pray with you.
We could just all pick a fixed time and wherever we are, we join each other in prayer.
Our spiritual future of our children will determine the future of our nation.

Technical name is "diversity jurisdiction." 9th Circuit is a court of appeal and doesn't have original jurisdiction.
Posted by: Insomniac at February 19, 2019 09:58 PM (NWiLs)
------
Trying to remember back to law school.... P sues defendant in State court (Kentucky) in a lawsuit involving more than $75,000 and the plaintiff (Kentucky) and defendant (a Delaware corporation) are from different states.
Defendant has the right, under Diversity of Citizenship principles, to remove the State claim to the Federal Court in the district in which the State claim was filed.
So, WaPo will want to get this case out of the local Kentuck state court jurisdiction, presumably because the plaintiffs picked that court because it's most favorable to the defendant. In Kentucky, if the case stays in State Court, plaintiff needs to convince 5 of 6 jurors by preponderance of evidence. If this moves to Federal Court, plaintiff has to convince 9 of 12 jurors.
I think the above is correct, but another attorney is free to correct me.

I just think the claimed damages are extravagant. Enough so, that I'd dig in and fight if were the paper.
I liked seeing Gawker ruined by Hogan. But I still think the damages were over the top.
The civil verdict against OJ topped out under 35 million. He viciously murdered two people.
But I'm supposed to give Sandmann 250 million from a single defendant?"
My opinion is that the purpose of the total is to scare the shit out of Bezos - after Gawker, he can't afford to blow it off - and induce him to work out a relatively fast settlement, which will be undisclosed by either side.
The reason the lawyers would love a quick settlement from the biggest plaintiff is that this makes it much easier to run the table with all of the other plaintiffs - "Hey, the biggest most powerful defendants in this case already threw in the towel, decided they couldn't beat us, what chance do you think you got?"
This is true High Stakes Poker, and the game is to see who blinks first.

I believe you're correct, and only one minor clarification - looking at the filing, it's already been filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky. So it's Federal right from the get-go.

Posted by: Cosmic Charlie at February 19, 2019 10:07 PM (PUmDY)
-------
This is a client call, not the lawyers', although let's be honest, the clients listen to the lawyers advice. Some lawyers may consciously or unconsciously influence the client to settle because the attorney wants the quick $ without doing all the work required to get to a trial that could be lost and thus net $0.
But here, the attorney is already fabulously wealthy and doesn't NEED the money early or safely, so is unlikely to be the source of any pressure to settle early. Further, this is a great case to keep in the headlines for name recognition to the attorney and law firm. (Raise your hand if you had heard of Lin Woo before Covington.).
From the client's perspective, settle or not, Mr. Sandman is going to be one rich dude. Going to Court and winning earns complete public vindication. A very appealing outcome to this young man. Attorney is no doubt taking the case on contingency, so no out of pocket costs to the Sandman family. Lastly, the attorney knows what he's doing here. THIS is what he does, every day, for the last X years, uber-sucessfully. Lin Woo is not afraid of doing the work to get to trial. In fact, the dude clearly loves it, and excels at it. He's got a lovable client, that was horribly wronged, by multiple deep-pocket defendants, over one of the most important and pressing issues of our time -- the horrible, biased, dishonest, angry bullying media.
Me thinks all the stars have aligned here, folks.

I wouldn't be surprised if this filing is a second warning shot (thanks, Biden!) to entice the other 40-something potential defendants to retract and come groveling. I.e. "We weren't kidding when we said we were considering suing you for literally all you're worth"
