<p>Last week, Oberlin College was ordered to pay the owners of a small bakery near the college a combined $11.2 million in compensatory damages for defamation. Their response to the decision may cost them much, much more.</p>
<p>The Gibson family had owned and operated Gibson&#8217;s Bakery since 1885, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48169/ohio-family-bakery-stopped-shoplifter-protesters-hank-berrien">The Daily Wire previously reported</a>. On November 9, 2016, according to <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/364088568/Gibson-s-Bakery-v-Oberlin-College-Complaint">a lawsuit</a> filed by the baker, three Oberlin students &#8212; Jonathan Aladin, Cecelia Whettstone, and Endia Lawrence &#8212; entered the store. Aladin attempted to purchase a bottle of wine with a fake ID. The owner, Allyn Gibson, refused. Gibson then noticed Aladin had two other bottles of wine under his shirt and told the student he was calling the police. The Chronicle-Telegram <a href="http://www.chroniclet.com/cops-and-courts/2017/08/11/Trio-in-Gibson-39-s-theft-plead-guilty.html">reported</a> that Aladin attempted to leave, so Gibson snapped a picture of him on his phone. Aladin then knocked the phone from Gibson&#8217;s hand and ran from the store, dropping the wine bottles. Gibson chased after Aladin to stop him, and the other two students began hitting the store owner as police arrived.</p>
