wrong

like i said, there are like 5 active threads here. am i taking up too much bandwith by posting about this?

It amounts to the same, most cases get dropped anyways. Clerks are told to not step in. Its a homeless and drug problem and they had this problem for a while. Now it got out of hand. Homeless run in, grab something and storm out, nothing happens. Private business might still chase after them, But smaller stores and franchises are told not to, since its too dangerous, I heard they just pack up and leave.

Wow, on the quote above about police walking in on the students kicking and punching to store employee lying on the ground. Why weren't these guys charged with assault and battery as well? That's far worse than shoplifting a bottle of wine. And how would any college officials think that was justified behavior, even if the students had been targeted because of their race?

Yeah I have a lot of questions too like that.
I have seen a lot of crazy cases but this takes the cake.

Its all too crazy.
How is this all possible?

why not sue the blond prof for defamation? (she is blamed the most in the trial) Why not the president? She is stalling payment until now.

Why are they not fired yet? I have no clue.

Correct.

Ohio statute for robbery covers the assault.

One was charged with attempted robbery. Two others with assault.

There is no such thing as "battery" in ohio.

Well, the guy stated that he was bisexual and that he was offended by Dave's comments about trans people, so that seems like it could have easily been a mistake.

But saying someone is trans could only be defamation if being trans is a negative thing - shame on you for implying that trans people are evil.

Huh, the above info seems to say they were only convicted of shoplifting; some kind of plea deal to reduce charges for robbery and assault? That's terrible if these violent offenders only have shoplifting on their record; they should have the rest of their lives ruined for such behavior.

Its inviting criminals, a gang member doesnt care anyways if he gets a slap on the wrist. Now he cannot even get punished, so the cops let them go. He is too smart and fast for any clerk anyways, so he does it often. when the clerk has instruction to not even go after him thats an even bigger invite to do it all the time.

Also for the homeless, they are probably not jailing them, send them back on the street. its like a disneyland for criminals if they cant even get charged.

Also for the average joe. He thinks f it, now I cant even get charged. Misdemeanour? awesome, I steal items worth 900 bucks, do it again and again.


Not to be taken seriously, some owner might still shoot them. But he is not supposed to. If the items are under 900 bucks and he attacks the thieve from what I understand he will go to jail. (this might be wrong)

We're talking about the Oberlin College case. What does the homelessness have to do with a college overstepping their boundaries?

Nothing, you are right. They were talking about it so I thought I answer some stuff

The wiki of the school still has no mentioning of this controversy.

I wonder why, its probably bad for business. How can I add this to their wiki? I thought everyone can add something to wiki. Open source right?


3000 students next to a bakery that were instructed by the dean and president to terrrorize the place. They used resources of the school, so staff time and money to organzize the protests.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberlin_College

It is the oldest coeducational liberal arts college in the United States and the second oldest continuously operating coeducational institute of higher learning in the world.[5] The Oberlin Conservatory of Music is the oldest continuously operating conservatory in the United States.[6] In 1835, Oberlin became one of the first colleges in the United States to admit African Americans, and in 1837 the first to admit women[7] (other than Franklin College's brief experiment in the 1780s[8]). It has been known since its founding for progressive student activism.[9]

Yeah me too. I think this college did great in the past to fight for liberties of minorities. But here their student activism was way off.

Quote him as I do not believe you. I think you are making crap up via misrepresentation as the truth does not suit you.

But quote away.

It's very clearly mentioned when I look at the Oberlin wiki page.


It's amazing how the "The media aren't talking about this!" canard is utterly and demonstrably wrong every. single. time.

I found it, thats it? seriously? It doesnst reflect the atrocity. This deserves its own chapter.

and its very clever hidden since it doesnt even have an own section. Its hidden under, 21st century, and is a a bit of a distortion of the truth. The timeline and just about everything is way too nicley written.


Here it is:

Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College

Main article: Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College
In 2016, after a black Oberlin student was caught shoplifting two bottles of wine from Gibson's Bakery and Market, a downtown Oberlin business, Oberlin faculty and students staged large demonstrations urging a boycott of on the grounds that the store was racist. In June 2019, the college was found liable for libel and tortious interference in a lawsuit initiated by the store; the bakery was awarded damages of $44 million by the jury, but a legal cap on damages reduced the award to $31.5 million.[82] In October 2019, the college appealed the case to the Ninth District Court of Appeals in Akron, Ohio.[83] On March 31, 2022, the Court of Appeals unanimously dismissed both appeals, Oberlin and Gibson, upholding the jury verdict and Judge Miraldi's decisions.[84] The Ohio Supreme Court choose to not accept the appeal and cross-appeal on August 29, 2022.[85

"hidden"

FFS dude

This is not what I would normally expect of a wiki, trolly.

Its a tiny entry and its kinda hidden. was looking for controversy.

Oberlin has been around for a ****ing long time. That paragraph with a link to main article is consistent with how other articles on Wiki handle such matters.

Oberlin is only tied for 39th in best liberal arts colleges: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges...-arts-colleges

The Air Force Academy comes in way ahead of them at 18th. Now if I was a student at Oberlin having a freaking military academy being that much better is something I would protest.

How about not leaving out inconvenient truth, and phrase the sentence a little more precise as such: oberlin student shoplifted and beat and kicked the 60 year old owner on the ground. How about hitting the clerk, and what about the other two students that were engaged in the beatings?They are leaving out important details and that obviously intentionally. And that on the main page. Who clicks links on the mainpage? There should be everything and that pretty unbiased. They are making me root for the college when I read this. No, no, this is not how any other wiki entry is handled that I read. It should say controversy, and then it should at least have some honesty and accuracy.


Maybe thats how all colleges are handling things and they have to, idk.
But I dont see any cofession, nothing, there, instead just appeal after appeal, and no confession, we call that whitewash here. Nicetalking,

They still dont confess to anything.

Holy Christ man, your difficulties with basic information literacy and navigating a Wikipedia entry are not the fault of Oberlin.

With as much time as washoe spends on the internet, he should know this.
