THIS- New Yorker within 2 blocks of 2 separate Citibike docks |
After attorney fees, moving costs due to being doxed, and therapy (go ahead and make fun of that, I'd absolutely want to talk to a mental health professional after getting death threats and being publicly accused of being no different than the woman who got Emmett Till killed), she won't have much left. This is not a windfall. |
Fabulous. I’m sure this will be very measured with very few references to tragic historical violence. |
This |
Not for a BS case that has little chance of panning out. If she was smart, she would just pocket the Gofundme cash. I'm kind of jealous! |
You forgot to add that she will have to hire some Blackwater commandos to protect her from all of those twitter messages sent by 11 year olds. |
Have you learned nothing? Let’s see how it plays out. The Covington kid did well and people said he’d lose too. |
She has a very reasonable case. That’s why Crumb retreated and deleted, that’s why other progressives apologized. Will it see trial? No, insurance will drive a settlement. But she’ll see some good money first. |
I have complete confidence in Monique’s journalistic integrity and am sure she will check facts, remain impartial, not lead the mom, et cetera. /s |
Hahaha but really though |
The particulars of this case are different, but maybe you aren't aware. Also, 99.99999% of people don't know this ladies name and wouldn't recognize her if they saw her walking down the street, so the libel/reputation angle is going to be a major stretch. |
Where did he only rent it for 6 minutes. That was really crummy. |
Except she posted multiple reports without checking all the facts. What does this incident have to do with historical violence? |
Pp here. I was being sarcastic, as I believe was “historical violence” pp. |
“To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.” https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation 1) False statements that the PA was stealing the bike, was faking distress, and is a white supremacist 2) All published online and communicated to third parties, including via purported news organizations 3) The publishing parties were negligent in even baseline journalistic principles, such as interviewing witnesses, confirming origin of the video, hedging allegations, etc., and in some cases were malicious in intent (I.e. Monique Judge announced via Twitter that it was her intent to ensure the top Google result for the PA’s name was a piece she write, full of falsehoods about the event) 4) The PA has suffered damages in the form of reputational destruction, death threats, having her full name and address published online (sometimes egged on by those defaming her) You don’t have to be a household name or recognizable to the average person to prove defamation. It’s actually harder for public figures to prove defamation than it is for private citizens. Stop talking about stuff you don’t understand. Sincerely, A g*****n lawyer |
