Sandy Hook families get approval to dig into Alex Jones's finances

Come on,.people, Rick is right. All Alex Jones wanted was to enrich himself by slandering the parents of kindergarteners who were torn to pieces by lunatic gunman. This is America! Freedom! I you don't like it, just leave the country!

 

Sorry but mainstream news gets away with it all the freaking time...

 

One more time, it's not the ruling it's the amount of money...

Conflate much...

 

A jury heard the evidence against that scumbag, and you blame the lawyers??? The jury's award was intended to ensure he never again has the means to spew hatred and bullshit, and to deter other such scumbags from doing so. I hope Fox and Carlson are next.

 

Oh boy, neither do you, sir. Christianity needs to be practiced, not mouthed.

 

In his world, Jones is the real victim and the parents of those children who were slaughtered by the ammosexual are parasites.

 

He profited from those words. He made a fortune off of making up nonsense and reporting it as truth. He deserves prison time in my opinion but it isn’t up to me.

 

It was never a simple denial. He said all the grieving families were crisis actors pretending to be upset about the deaths. And he didn’t say it once he said it dozens of times. People started getting harassed.

 

Yeah, he made much of husbands his fortune, supposedly in the hundreds of millions neo; by peddling this idiocy. The only way to stop him was to bankrupt him, even something like 10 million would be like an expensive speeding ticket for him, he would make many times that off the next one.
But more to the point, anyone that almost unimaginably callous and cruel deserves whatever comes his way in this. Imagine thinking that profiting from the death of an innocent child by attacking their grieving parents is anything other than evil on any level.

 

I blame the lawyers for that amount of money... I've made that point quite clear. And I also agreed that Alex Jones is a scumbag.

This is a case of some scumbag harassing people after the case was settled with his Constitutional right to free speech, even as disgusting as that free speech was... it's a matter of when and for what do we draw the line on that Constitutional right to free speech. But that "punitive damage" awarded for his use of free Constitutional protected free speech is outrageous either way. Should he pay these people... probably, but for breaking which law?

Compensatory vs. Punitive Damages: What's the difference?

 

Please, you acting like you believe in Christianity is hard to believe.

 

Oh, why is that?

 

For the amount of money the Sandy Hook survivors are clamoring to get, from Alex Jones, they could end homelessness!

 

Everyone says that…….until they’ve been injured one way or another by another, then their tune changes. Lawyers have done some great things not only for individuals, but to change corporate practices. There’s nothing which causes a behemoth corporation largely indifferent to the average Joe to change its harmful practices than a lawyer making it pay out the nose.

 

They would no doubt put it to better use than Jones.

 

So you apparently have no problem with a guy whose fortune is in part attributable to the infliction of pain on families who have lost children?

 

s

So, this scumbag had NO money and got rich off of the Sandy Hook murders? Prove it.

 

1. I doubt if any of the jurors, you know, the people who awarded damages against Jones, were lawyers.
2. Alex Jones was represented by his own attorneys.
3. I doubt if any lawyer advised Alex Jones to say the things he did.

It's funny that you chose to blame a group, far more educated than you, rather than the responsible party.

 

Intentional infliction of emotional distress is a tort. That is, there is a cause of action in the legal system for such conduct. One's free speech does not allow you to knowingly, intentionally and repeatedly cause others distress. That's what that scumbag did.

Why are you defending him - and don't deny that you are based on some constitutional principle?

 

Come on, sir. You're just digging your hole deeper. It was proven in court. Please read below what Twain said about education.
