He defamed them for a decade. He sent lunatics to disrupt their memorials. He lied about their loved ones. Now Alex Jones has to pay Sandy Hook families almost $1 billion damages and fees

The dashcam footage from the cop cars parked at the scene in the parking lot in front of the school shows the whole thing was a hoax because the 450 kids and 90 staff who were supposed to have been in the school at the time NEVER CAME OUT and the police dashcam footage proves that.

The people that now run the Whitehouse are brazen liars.

They can get caught red-handed with their hands in the cookie jar and they will deny everything.

Literally every single part of the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory was taken apart on the stand in court. Whatever part of the theory you half-remember, has been debunked to Infowars employees in the past few weeks.

My favourite parts of the trial -

  1. Learning that infowars scrutinise each bump in product sales to figure out which conspiracies drive sales. The making sure the articles and show cover those topics, to maximise sales. Even when they've acknowledged their facts are wrong in internal emails, they'll keep hyping a topic, for cash.

  2. Learning that Alex sent an internet weirdo to disrupt the classroom teacher's family's memorial run. He also send a cage fighter to record himself harassing victims. Alex bears a huge personal role in their continued suffering.

  3. Learning that Alex as recently as last week called the shooting a "synthetic" hoax, even when he's on trial for the same. He literally is unable to stop himself, because he had the mind of a child

It literally does not matter, conspiracy theories are not illegal. His words did not defame the dead individuals, it defamed the government who was not in this suit. Shall we fine Michael Moore billions of dollars for his 9/11 conspiracies because his 'lies' 'defamed' dead people, this is preposterous.

Perhaps he is guilty of harassment, but I don't think there is any precedent for billion dollar fines for that

The courts are letting this go forward in this way exactly because conspiracy theories are not illegal. But their thumb is on the scale. Alex was the first to be deplatformed and have to do everything through his own website. But he was still making money, and that's the problem - they couldn't convince the whole world to stop listening to him (because he's right about most of it), so they want to destroy him financially.

The courts are letting this go forward

They're "letting" it because it's a real lawsuit bought in the proper manner.

Alex Jones has chosen not to offer any defense because he has no defense.

He owes them money not because "they want to destroy him" but because he owes them to make it right for them after what he did (and accepted he did when he chose not to offer a defense)

Alex Jones has chosen not to offer any defense because he has no defense.

Also, because there is a good chance this amount is greatly reduced on appeal and his team is weighing what the actual final cost will be with what he has gained off of his rhetoric.

What appeal? Alex didn't offer a defense. There's no appeal. Mark Bankston (the Texas plaintiff's lawyer) explained this exactly on the knowledge fight podcast. There's no avenue of appeal for a case which to which he didn't offer any defense.

You are thinking of an appeal for guilt, not for the amount of awarded money.

[–]Site_rly_sux[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

His words did not defame the dead individuals, it defamed the government who was not a defendant in this suit.

You're totally wrong. He was defamatory towards every plaintiff in the suit. He sent his minions to mess with them in person. The living plaintiffs were personally defamed, on average once per month, since December 2012.

(Also he chose not to offer any defense to the charges and accepted his guilt)

Perhaps he is guilty of harassment, but I don't think there is any precedent for billion dollar fines for that

It was a class suit. Not one plaintiff

sandy hook shooting never happened.

it was a scam hoax

He won't pay shit. 100 points of appeal. Only the lawyers make money on this.

[–]SoCo 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

The trial really was a ridiculous joke and definitely won't stand appeal. A civil judgement of 20 times more money than he has made and ever will make in his life, is pretty ethically questionable as well.

[–]Insider 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Alex Jones works for the cabal. Half his family is CIA.

Trial was a farce, it's all for show.

Like the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. Also a farce. Check out Depp's connections to rapey pedo Marilyn Manson.

Mr Kim runs a tight ship.. he doesn't play all of this mass immigration is good bullshit and I think he will be the winner in the end.

So go there and fuck off.

Sandy hook was a total hoax. The evidence is a joke, the narrative was even worse. Connecticut had to pass a law to prevent people from being able to get any evidence to keep the truth from coming out. Now if you get locked up in Connecticut and are innocent, you're fuct cause no one can dispute the evidence. There are tons of documentaries and info about the evidence and how much it doesn't add up. A good one to start with is called "We need to talk about Sandy hook". There is also a retired cop who wanted to help and got threatened and attacked by the police and local gov and started digging into the evidence because of it and now goes around telling people the truth about it because they lied to steal our 2A rights. Before you jump str8 into denial and calling names, watch this then get at me bruh: https://rumble.com/v1b5uzn-we-need-to-talk-about-sandy-hook.html

Every single piece of your conspiracy theory has been debunked in court and deposition. So you're probably wrong. And halbig is a nut. Alex Jones is paying 1 billion for putting this shit into your head, so I'm not even mad that you're regurgitating his lies, it just makes his bankruptcy sweeter
