An Idaho coffee shop owner won her case against Boise State University administrators after being pressured to move off campus for displaying a pro-police flag. A jury delivered the verdict Friday, Sept. 13, awarding Sarah Jo Fendley $4 million.

Fendley, who owns Big City Coffee, filed a $10 million tort claim against the university in 2021 after it terminated her contract. Fendley said her business was removed from campus because she displayed a “thin blue line” flag during the George Floyd protests in 2020. Fendley said the closure was a violation of her First Amendment rights.

The jury awarded Fendley $3 million in damages for business losses, mental and emotional distress, personal humiliation and lost reputation. The jury also awarded another $1 million in punitive damages.

The BSU administrators involved in the lawsuit said they plan to appeal the decision to Idaho’s Supreme Court.

Hopefully, she loses her job on top of losing the court case.

I’m excited for this. I’m getting so tired of people telling us what we can fly as a flag the abuse they put to all the police departments throughout the nation, allowing those holes just destroy cities because they feel they were wrong and none of them were involved this stuff has to stop.
