Jury awards Planned Parenthood nearly $1M over secret videos by pro-life group

mcgeo52 comments on Nov 16, 2019:

The award was $870,000, in punitive damages and roughly $478,000 in compensatory damages. However, since the jury also found that the defendants acted in violation of federal RICO statutes, that triples the compensatory award. So Fox once again proves less than stellar, as Planned Parenthood is looking at a $2.275 million verdict, not nearly $1 million. https://www.courthousenews.com/jury-finds-abortion-foes-harmed-planned-parenthood-awards-870k/

I live in a seniors complex in Long Beach with 80 units and around 100 residents. The only real rules here are: Pay your rent. Don't park in anyone else's assigned parking space. Keep the noise level down after 11:00 pm until 7:00 am (actually that's a city ordinance, not a rule here). There are occasional Bible studies here put on by a resident, but I doubt that more than ten people attend. Our Representative is Alan Lowenthal, a solid Democrat with some progressive tendencies. The area offers an abundance of music, art, theater, poetry, good (but not necessarily expensive) restaurants, and opportunities to interact with other people. I've never been there, but there is a senior center less than two mile away.
