A jury unanimously ordered Boise State University to pay $4 million -- $3 million for lost business, reputational damage, mental and emotional distress and personal humiliation plus $1 million in punitive damages from the school's former vice president of student affairs -- to the owner of the Big City Coffee shop, Sarah Fendley.
During the anti-police riots of 2020 (remember the ones where former “tough-on-crime prosecutor” Kamala Harris was raising money to bail out the rioters?), Fendley posted a “thin blue line” sticker at her downtown location to show her support for the police (at the time, she was engaged to an officer who had been paralyzed by a criminal in a shootout.) The usual student “activists” attacked her online, she explained her support for police, they attacked her even more, and she claims the school violated her First Amendment rights by shutting down her on-campus location in retaliation.
The school will appeal to the state Supreme Court. Let’s hope they make it $5 million.
