It is sad, but you are right that the damage is permanent, and win or lose it will still be a blight that will hurt Vic forever. And if Vic wins it all in the end, these cretins will still use the fact that he lost at TCPA and bias articles to attack Vic and as "proof" of all the things they lied about to get him kicked out of earning an income, as is proven by their constant of playing the same out of context gif they spam on twitter. For them, it has always been about attacking and hopefully killing a man, not getting justice for "victims."
