15. This is a huge deal.

Even if the Parrs see nothing of the payout, it is a colossal win for the people.

It shows that these companies can be sued and beaten, property rights, health violations, whatever the deal.
It shows that JURIES are essential.
It shows that the work of Calvin Tillman, Josh Fox, Sharon Wilson, and so many others can be vindicated for their tireless efforts to wake the people to their own power, and collapse the nefarious doings of a sick industry.

May we carry it forward and kill this beast.
