That's $27k per plaintiff. Political graft is good work if you can find it!

Philly population = 1.5 million. Assuming .7 million of those are taxpayers, that would be about $13 per Philly taxpayer.

“That’s $27k per plaintiff.”

.

Which will be up in smoke two weeks after being paid out.

Most of them should have been shot on sight for looting and burning. Instead, we reward them so that they will return.

Why settle? Why not fight it in court?

I guess because the authorities are worried they might win.

OR...

Cuz it’s just the grifters tango
where both sides
( that are really more a team than adversaries )
dance their assigned steps
so the cash can flow

without the tango no cash could flow.

the same grift tango
the watermelons
inside and outside of federal wildlife management
do on endangered species suits.

The Curley Effect: intentional destruction of a city by a politician to drive out the existing political opponent class (taxpayers; business owners; middle class) to bring in the poor and unwashed.

Thus greater control of the city.

Let criminals out. More taxpayers flee. Even more control.

Control the city entirely and the voting system = control the entire state.

Control five or six big cities giving you five or six swing states = control the country.

Thus, crime itself becomes a political “win” for Demonrats.

And we all know, should you protest the Soros effort to jail DJT you’ll bankrupt your family trying to legally defend yourself from Garland’s FBI goon squad.

Meanwhile, anything else that needs to be funded or fixed in the city gets let go.

What a world we live in.

Criminals, all, including the lawyers.
