A Question of Respect?

That's what was negotiated so whatever the settlement was is what they'll pay. And even if it were only a tenth of what they sued for that still leaves him something like $16.5 million after the lawyers get their share (but before Uncle Sam takes theirs).

As young as he is, even $1 million, invested wisely, will produce more than enough for him to retire young and live very comfortably.

Not sure what you're saying here - either he's getting a boatload of cash or he's not.

I'm saying that, for all we know, the settlement could be for a virtual candy bar; even that would look like a moral victory for the kid. I'd bet the settlement would at least allow attorneys to recoup what they'd spent, but the case hadn't progressed all that far AFAIK so that wouldn't be a whole lot.

Most of these cases are an done on a 40% contingency. If they lawyers don't win, they don't get anything, and it doesn't cost the kid anything.

Around here 33% is the norm.

Maybe you have a glut of lawyers?

and most of the time you have to pay taxes based on the full settlement or judgement not just the part you get to keep. So if he got a million and had to pay $400K to the lawyers, he still has to pay taxes on $1 million. I think the only exception is for personal injury cases (medical related)

Source: As Part Of Settlement With Nick Sandmann, CNN Hosts Must Wear MAGA Hats During All Broadcasts

According to a report, as part of the settlement with Nick Sandmann, CNN hosts will be required to wear MAGA hats throughout every broadcast.


"Let the punishment fit the crime," counsel for Sandmann said as Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Anderson Cooper, and Wolf Blitzer all solemnly donned Make America Great Again caps.

Hosts were seen with downcast expressions as they commented on the day's events, MAGA hats in place.

Sandmann says the hosts will be forced to wear the hats until they've learned their lesson, which could take a while. "Just be careful you don't make an expression some could construe as 'smug.' Wouldn't want you to get punched or your lives to get ruined, or anything like that."

CNN hosts must also finish every broadcast by saying, "Good night, and I am a big, fat dummy, while Trump is the best president we've ever had."

Brian Stelter requested an exemption and was allowed to wear a clown nose instead, as usual.

I am curious to know what the response is to this story.

It concerns the intersection of the Indigenous People's March and some teens from the March for Life who are fairly clearly Trump supporters (hats, "build that wall" chants, etc.).

And, here ya go....
