American Justice: $240,000.00 T-Shirt

One Raed Jarrar was asked by JetBlue employees to cover the Arab script on his t-shirt because it made other passengers uncomfortable. He agreed to cover his shirt in-flight with one provided by JetBlue. He then sued JetBlue and was awarded $240,000.00 for this egregious infringement of his rights.

The Arab script on his shirt said, "We will not be silenced."

Boy, he wasn't kidding.
