He didnt get no skrilla. He was 100k in debt from the lawyers fee's right off the rip. So he got those plus some shut up money. $20 says he had to sign and NDA as well with terms of "lose it all if if you tell the amount to anyone".

It only took three years? They will believe anything on the right though. They still think their daddy is rich and the kid got em for a billion dollars or something stupid. How come their stock didnt tick down if they were hit so hard? Weird.. almost like nothing remotely close to a large amount was handed over. He wanted 250,000,000 dollars.. LOL. He had to prove that he lost a potential of 250,000,000 dollars of income to get 250,000,000. How does a 17 year old child have that much wealth income potential? They dont. So they dont get that much.

LOL you dont know anything about the law, Ooloo.. You think walmart investigates and fights every single case brought up against them? Fuck no they dont. They make an offer, 5k, 10k and people usually take it. Its faster, easier, and no long expensive court cases in the process, no discovery, no depositions, and few lawyers.

Its funny that people believe that companies only pay when they have to. Many of them pay simply because its cheaper, keeps the headlines to a minimum, and they dont have to talk about that dumb shit in their board meetings.

The amount he got is irrelevant to the question of whether CNN did something fucked up and underhanded, which they did. Which is why they were sued, and had to pay out.

Odd number of people who seem to find joy in this random 17 year old kid's life being ruined. Totally powerless private individual being smeared for life by a much, much more powerful entity, and you have the "party of the people" sticking up for CNN over the kid.

You guys aren't punk rock anymore. You have become the thing you hate.

Yes, their defense would have been expensive because their defense is extremely tenuous to non-existent.

I understand that big powerful companies have lots of money, but if it was that easy for a totally unknown private citizen to sue a major corporation and get a "nuisance payout" it would happen much more often than it does.

The fact they settled in this specific case, given the relevant circumstances of each party, *obviously* points to guilt on the part of CNN. They are saying "look, just take this small amount and go away, ok? You're just a poor rube, after all.". And *still* you side with CNN, after they exhibit every slimey litigious car salesman attribute in the book.

Also no. Corporations are people, my friend.

In my opinion, the kid was acting like an asshole. Now everyone knows hes an asshole. Its his own fault. Nobody made him stand there in the native peoples permitted area, literally invading the way of the march the native americans were having. Why would someone do that at all?

Why were the kids mocking the native americans by chanting and posing in a primitive fashion? Seems pretty racist and stupid to me. Why were they constantly invading the spaces of the other people permitted to be there?? To be assholes and bullies. Kid tried to bully, the guy didnt back down.

I'm glad there were cameras there.
