Regardless of which "side" anyone is on, the optics of this are horrible. Jackbooted (almost literally) armed thugs lined up against a bunch of college kids.

I hope somebody forces the company witness to admit they have never issued a bond in a civil lawsuit before, not even in California.

To say they were unprepared would be an understatement. Annual rainfall in PA is about 40", so a comparison would be how prepared PA would be if 60" of rain fell in one day. It's not something anyone could prepare for. We get a lot of rain and had 27" fall in 24 hours in 1979 and it ...
