City Agrees To Largest Occupy Wall Street Settlement Ever
Today, lawyers announced the largest settlement with New York City yet, with the city paying out $583,024 to 14 protesters who were arrested for disorderly conduct on January 1st of 2012.
Sounds like some justice, right?
No, because this:
Two of the defendants who settled at an earlier stage will receive $5,000 from the city. The remaining 12 will receive $20,002. The protesters’ lawyers will receive $333,000 in costs and fees.
What the fuck?
Maybe the protesters are happy, but that split stinks.
