Alex Jones & Infowars must pay 14 family members of 8 Sandy Hook Elementary School victims, plus an FBI agent...a collective total of $965 Million

[toobfreak]

Jones needs to pay over $900 to Sandy Hook families​

I'll gladly loan Alex the money. Look at that! Another punitive witch hunt by the fascist democrats trying to crush their political enemies! Jones will never pay and the leeches will never collect.

 

[toobfreak]

Just lied his head off and created a lot of grief for many families

Sounds kinda like what Joe Biden does every day.

 

[excalibur]

Alex Jones did nothing wrong

The First Amendment is under assault.

The jury was a pool of fools.

 

[airplanemechanic]

First Amendment does not say there can be no consequences for your speech

Are you really that stupid?

If there are legal consequences to free speech, THEN ITS NOT FREE!!!

 

[BlindBoo]

Good. The First Amendment is not a licence to lie and liable American families who's children were massacred, for fucking profit.

 

[toobfreak]

why not make it 1 billion, he deserves it, he's literally paying the price for his extremism and recklessness

He deserves to pay a billion dollars and counting for his opinions? Don't care for the 1st Amendment much do ya, scumbucket?!

Alex Jones did nothing wrong

Pay up fat boi.

 

[toobfreak]

as he wasn't allowed to defend himself

Huh? How can you not be allowed to defend yourself? Sounds strangely similar to what they pulled on Bannon.

What country is this again?

 

[B. Kidd]

The tykes are gone forever no matter what he can or cannot pay.

Alex Jones Hit With $965 Million Verdict In 2nd Trial Over Sandy Hook Lies

Multimillion-dollar verdicts keep stacking up against the Infowars host, who used his platform to falsely claim the Sandy Hook shooting never happened.

Oh my gosh!

I don’t think the amount will be upheld on appeal. Frankly, it shouldn’t even take an appeal. It should simply be rejected by the judge. And it doesn’t matter.

Let’s assume that Jones deserved to lose at trial for his verbal infliction of additional pain on the families of the murdered children. The measure of damages, etc., here, is facially absurd.

But the biggest thing is this. He won’t ever in this lifetime be able to pay. And we have no debtors’ prisons anymore. The plaintiffs will see precious little of the full or adjusted judgment.

He is going to be broke for the rest of his life.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Good luck collecting

 

[blackhawk]

Never gave a wit about him or anything he said still don’t and never will.

The tykes are gone forever no matter what he can or cannot pay.

How very fucking callous of you.

Reported this afternoon:

• "The size of the damages is a sign that jurors found a defendant’s conduct particularly reprehensible and harmful – and as a way of deterring future wrongdoing."
  
• "The state of Jones’s finances is murky. In the Texas trial, Bernard Pettingill, a forensic economist hired by the plaintiffs, estimated that Jones and his companies have a net worth of up to $270 million. Pettingill also said Jones withdrew $62 million in 2021."........earlier this year, Infowars and its parent company Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy protection."

• William Aldenberg, a former FBI agent, responded to the scene of the shooting on Dec. 14, 2012. He too became a target of conspiracy theories.
  Mattei, the lawyer for the families, asked Aldenberg if what he saw in the school that day was fake. “No, no. No sir,” he responded. Mattei asked if there were any actors there. “No,” Aldenberg said, overcome with emotion. “It’s awful, awful.”
  

• “Their children got slaughtered,” Aldenberg said, addressing the families. “I saw it myself, and now they have to sit here and listen to me say this."

The bastard was convicted by a jury of his peers dumb dumb.

Do you ever stop lying?

 

[toobfreak]

Good luck collecting

Oh they'll collect. I figure that with what Jones can earn in prison and if it is all put into a bank account with interest, they'll get their money back in full in just over $75,000 years.

 

[B. Kidd]

How very fucking callous of you.

Truth often is!
And I've never listened to OR have been an A. Jones fan.

It's not that the lying Sack-O-Shit Jones was not allowed to defend himself. It's that he was never allowed grandstand, which is what he wanted to do. The judge admonished the lawyers Jones hired more than one time. Jones deliberately made the lives of the parents of the children murdered pure hell.

 

[toobfreak]

The bastard was convicted by a jury of his peers

Right down the street from the school in question? Yeah, sure, fair hearing.

I can't wait until next year when Joe Biden is convicted by a jury of his peers down in Texas right along the border!
