What It’s Like To Eat At Gibson’s
Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio

Matt Lamb of the College Fix recently visited Gibson’s Bakery with his family. Legal Insurrection readers are very familiar with the back story here:(Snip)It also looks like a small-town bakery, with local newspapers for sale at the front, a single register and coffee and donuts to the left. Well, there’s no fancy coffee machines like at a Starbucks, just pots and brandless styrofoam and paper cups--the less branding, the better the coffee it seems. It’s the sort of place I’d go to if it was down the street, not five hours away from my home.

Comments:

Matt Lamb traveled to Gibson’s Bakery the first week in October, noted widow Lorna Gibson worked at the front register, and because the bakery lost customers and money due to the “university-backed protests,” the store is “just barely hanging on at this point.” News reports dated September 8, 2022 indicated that Oberlin College “initiated payment in full of the $36.59 million judgment.” As of October 21, 2022 it is not clear whether Oberlin College has made the payment or not. Perhaps Gibson family hopes for keeping the doors of the 137-year-old bakery’s doors open are being dashed yet again.

A few months ago when the most recent news of the money was announced my first reaction is that Oberlin will just not pay it. And I suspect that Gibsons will have to go back to court to get an order for Oberlin to pay and they will just ignore that order. All Oberlin has to do is not pay and the government will not force them to. I believe that ultimately Gibsons will have to file a lean on the college and start the repossession of the buildings. Once the local Sheriff has put chains and locks on the doors of the buildings the college will get a the court to order that they be removed. And they will be. And then more court battles. I doubt they will ever pay.

I think it would be great if Gibson's could become a sort of Wall Drug place, ensuring its survival and becoming an eternal sharp rock in Oberlin College's shoe.

Pity they can't get an order to start seizing college property to satisfy the debt and put in the bailiffs.

We can help them by ordering from them online. Now that the weather has cooled, you can order their chocolates as well as their baked goods.

The possibility of Oberlin College withholding actual release of the $36.59 judgment as a means of retaliation against the Gibson family for daring to sue the college for defamation cannot be dismissed. To bring the Gibson family to its knees by having to close the doors of the Gibson Bakery after 137 years and to file for bankruptcy therein having to forfeit its investment properties makes those properties available for sale to the college or other interested investors. If the Gibson family closes the doors of the bakery, files for bankruptcy, followed by payment of the $36.59 judgment, such action may speak for itself.

We Need To Stop Calling Ourselves Conservatives 33 replies
Posted by Harlowe 10/20/2022 12:30:43 PM Post Reply
Given the state of America in 2022, conservatives should stop calling themselves conservatives. Why? Because the conservative project has largely failed, and it is time for a new approach. Conservatives have long defined their politics in terms of what they wish to conserve or preserve--individual rights, family values, religious freedom, and so on.(Snip)To talk of defending “religious freedom” is to misapprehend that the real risk today is widespread irreligion, which will leave so few religious Americans in the coming generations that the government and large corporations will inevitably--and easily--persecute them.

On September 15, 2022, Legal Insurrection Foundation held what I think was the best of our many online events. It was a night to hear from the inside about the Gibson’s Bakery v.

OBERLIN - The crowd milling around outside Gibson’s Bakery at midday Wednesday wasn’t there to protest.

While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month. (Insert the standard caveat about how bad the polling has been of late here.) If that happens, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy still appears to be the odds-on favorite to be the next Speaker, though that assumption also comes with a few caveats. Some of the GOP members in the lower chamber have clearly been feeling their oats and have been starting to suggest that Joe Biden might be impeached

Last month in Cherokee County, North Carolina, a high school girls’ volleyball game was played between Hiwassee Dam High and Highlands High. One of the players on the Highlands team, a biological male, hammered a spike at an estimated 70 mph. The shot looked different than the shots the biological girls were making. It was “abnormally fast,” said one witness. The spike beaned a Hiwassee Dam girl in the head. The assaulted player went down hard, having suffered devastating injuries to her head and neck. A month has passed, and she is still suffering from a long-term concussion, including impairment to her vision. She has not been cleared to play.

Tucker Carlson provided an accurate assessment of the overt anti-white racism in America that goes not only unchecked, but often praised. His comparison to Rwanda’s eventual genocide doesn’t feel that far off when one considers the daily reminders by many prominent media personalities and politicians of the “whiteness” that pervades this country. So it comes as no surprise that sheltered, entitled, and ignorant professional athletes would share these same anti-white views. For supposedly being oppressed, there is no shortage of self-esteem among leftist blacks. If they truly feared for their lives, it goes without saying that they’d hesitate to make such remarks.
