Basically the owner tried to stop a crime (shoplifting and underage drinking), and his reward was property damage (phone getting smashed), being physically assaulted, and losing large amounts of business after school administrators used their money and platform to "financially sanction" their business.
- busterarm 5y agoReading about the whole situation turned me into a loyal Gibson's customer. I made my first online order when they won their verdict and always make a point to stop by and make a purchase on my way through the state.
- gaoshan 5y agoI remember when this all blew up and the way the Bakery was treated was outrageous. I don't even remember what the original dispute was over but I do remember what happened after and it was pretty awful and unreasonable.
- muh_gradle 5y agoI vaguely recall this story and just followed up on it reading the wikipedia page. I am very happy to see that Gibson won the case. They deserve every single cent. Absolutely pathetic behavior from the robber, the assaulters, the protestors, and the school.
