I'd like to know why Trump hasn't come out and condemned Jones. Ha ha, just kidding. We all know why he hasn't. No need to explain his lack of humanity. |
I think at least part of it is this; so many right wingers have had their brains figuratively bludgeoned out of their heads. Did you ever have a conversation with these people? The way they talk about “the truth,” it’s like there talking about messages received from aliens tweeting on a secret frequency. There’s no critical thinking, but there are massive doses of fear. |
Apparently Jones is one of them with the bludgeoned brain - one of his defenses is that he was suffering from a psychosis that made him think everything was a conspiracy. He also wants one of these parents’ suits dismissed because it's causing HIM emotional distress. https://www.statesman.com/news/20191212/sandy-hook-lawyer-asks-judge-to-hold-alex-jones-liable-without-trial https://www.newsweek.com/alex-jones-files-dismiss-sandy-hook-lawsuit-intentional-infliction-emotional-distress-against-1477068 |
| Eff him and the horse he rode in on. |
Of course. There are people out there who believe that the NASA moon landing was a hoax, that the Earth is flat (hard to believe there are still Flat Earthers!), that the JFK assassination was a conspiracy, and that a Hollywood model knows more about vaccines than the CDC and degreed medical practitioners. There is no doubt in my mind that there are plenty of people out there who only believe what they have seen with their own eyes and therefore living in a different state know, or at least believe, that the gunning down of a school full of children did not actually happen. They're very wrong, but there are plenty of buyers out there for Alex Jones type of "Fake News". |

Yay!! A judge has ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay more than $100,000 in court costs and legal fees to the family of a Sandy Hook shooting victim.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7839877/Alex-Jones-InfoWars-pay-100-000-legal-fees-Sandy-Hook-victims-family.html I hope Jones hemorrhages money to these parents. He is a disgusting human being. I hope he is driven to panhandling and day labor work. |
| Good. |
People like that always find a way to weasel out of their obligations. And Jones is far weaselier than most. |
Still it’s a good start to making sure that vile troll doesn’t have the resources to harm others the way he did to Sandy Hook families. |
|
He will never pay. He has claimed mental illness before to explain his vile defamations and doesn't have a lot of personal funds. It's just a relief to have his vileness underlined by a court ruling. |
That hideous POS actually had the nerve to request dismissal of the case for causing HIM mental distress. Now that’s chutzpah. |

A Sandy Hook hoaxer and ex-InfoWars contributor who doxxed the families of the 2012 mass shooting was arrested in Florida early Monday morning for unlawful possession of personal identification.

How could someone do this to families that had their children murdered?! |
Toxic masculinity. |
Because gun nutters are despicable! |
