A Jury Just Bankrupted Trump's Favorite Liar (Alex Jones)

[Lakers Legend#32]

A Connecticut jury rules that Alex Jones must pay $965 million to the Sandy Hook families who suffered from his lies that the Sandy Hook school shooting never happened.

Since all you MAGA gun nuts helped perpetuate this hideous lie, maybe you should pitch in and donate to your muse?

MTG is arguing that Jones has a constitutional right to torment Sandy Hook family members.

If you are supporting Jones today, you are a POS of a human being.

[GrayGoat]

So freedom of speech isn’t allowed. Whether right or wrong is irrelevant

We're not allowed to speak on it anymore.

[Patrick Chewing]

Horrible day for free speech.

And Alex Jones has nothing do with Trump, but the OP is a moron so he's got to mention Trump at least 12 times a day.

Slander has always been illegal.

You guys don't remember cheering Sandman getting $250 mill?

[diamenz]

it's not about "free speech". alex jones is a narcissist playing a character and wouldn't abandon his base of followers for his own mother if they held her for ransom. it's all about him, period. how can one not see this?

Agreed on all points.

No one is saying he's a nice guy.

the silence is deafening, isn't it?

[SATAN]

Imagine supporting Alex Jones on this issue. And even worse being absolute hypocrites when it comes to the free speech argument anyway. It's a new low every day for some of these guys.

He has a point. Sandmann isn't done yet either. The outcome of his lawsuits against the New York Times, CBS, ABC, and Rolling Stone are still pending.

Rittenhouse will also likely reap in millions against a multitude of news and social media outlets, as well as Joe Biden(if he lives past his presidency) and Lebron James.

If there's a difference to nitpick at, the social media giants pretend to be protectors of truth, and news outlets unbiased serious information hubs. I doubt very few people other than a delusional few take Alex Jones seriously. He's more entertainment than anything.

You act like this is the first libel case in the US. Most civil libel cases usually have much heftier fines than the free speechless europe.

that's all it took though, didn't it?

[Off the Court]

That delusional few is a large crowd though. Those families were harassed regularly and it was difficult for them to leave the house. One of the fathers killed himself and many believe the Jones was a big part of that. They can't get online without some drooling moron calling them actors.

To me Alex Jones really separates the tribal dolts from the realists. If you are defending this guy you are an absolute sheep to your party. Everyone needs to draw the line somewhere. Bill Maher calls out his party all the time and righties need to be okay calling out Alex Jones. If anyone should take issue with Jones it should be the "fake news" crowd.

Why do "Righties" need to call out Alex Jones? Is he a "Righty"? We don't claim him and we never have. He's a charlatan with a microphone. An actor. He has nothing to do with Conservatism.

[SouBeachTalents]

I know this board possesses zero empathy lol, but what Alex Jones did was legitimately despicable. Can he do it under free speech? Sure. But to have his crazy fanbase harass and threaten these people, based on complete bullshit, after already enduring the worst tragedy a person can experience, is just heinous. How anyone can even try to defend this guy is beyond me, he really is a piece of shit :lol

Yeah he is definitely a righty but this is a good start I'll accept it :applause:

[Patrick Chewing]

Yeah he is definitely a righty

Yeah okay sure buddy, whatever you say.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Jones carries the water for the Republicans but Poopsie says he has nothing to do with conservatism.

His whole Sandy Hook lie was pandering to the gun nuts.

Democrats own guns too. You realize any argument you make against the Right can be deconstructed in a matter of seconds. You're just a triggered weasel still bitter about 2016.

[Duderonomy]

Well considering Sandy Hook was the first big event after the repeal of the Smith Mundt act. Now some think it's a good idea to sue people into oblivion if a story doesn't sound right. Just because you don't like Alex Jones or people questioning the news doesn't mean it's a win for free speech and freedom in this country.

:facepalm

Another zinger of a post from OP.

Have you looked into ABA therapy yet?

Find me a republican who goes on record supporting Alex Jones please

[ShawkFactory]

Horrible day for free speech.

The “free speech” is tangibly doing harm to people.

But to the other point, obviously Alex Jones is a horrible person but it’s not about politics. In the same way woke culture would exist without politics.

However, most woke folks lean left and most who follow Alex Jones lean right. There’s a correlation there even if it isn’t exactly related.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Punishing Alex Jones is less important than destroying the business model that allows people like him to profit by publishing toxic horeshit into the national discourse. Let's hope this accomplishes both.

[Lakers Legend#32]

If you think that "freedom of speech" means freedom form the consequences of that speech, I really hope you were paying attention to the Alex Jones verdict.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Alex Jones wouldn't be anything without an audience of despicable people just like him.

Poopsie: Alex Jones has nothing to do with the Republicans but we agree with him that Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Good Job

Find me a Republican who supported reasonable anti-gun violence laws to reduce the chances of this happening again.

And no arming teachers and first graders is not a reasonable solution.

You're so stupid.
