Connecticut caps punitives at only legal fees.
I haven't followed the case in the last few weeks nor read the award but did they lose their UTP Act claim? If not then they are not limited to the costs of bringing the action. Costs of bringing the action is wider than attorneys fees but that is relatively pedantic unless you are actually doing the accounting.

If a person can be sued and lose for saying inane bullshiat… how do shows about Bigfoot, ufos, aliens, ghosts, etc survive? How does any opinion show?
How did him saying stupid shiat monetarily damage victims?

We said they were all liars, it was a scam, no one was injured, and some really heinous shite. Plus put his army of Morons on the parents who threaten them etc.
We crossed the line here. Free speech has some limitations. You can say whatever you want but if you slander someone they can sue your arse

lot of the conspiracy started with Robbie Parker. He is laughing and then looks like an actor getting into character to be sad before a TV interview. This is why a ton of people called the parents crisis actors.
That's really reaching. So he laughed, big deal
everyone handles grief differently.

Sure. You can set parameters that cap punitives.
But capping them at fees and costs is stupid and does not serve justice in certain situations.
If it can be shown by a preponderance of the evidence that a tortious act was committed for monetary gain, why can’t the cap be whatever amount of money is shown to be connected to the tortious act?
If my tortious act against a person brings me 100m in revenue, why should my liability be capped at a fraction of that?

Seems like a billion isn't enough to call the murder of 26 kids a hoax. Weird that some of you are okay with this. Actually it is fricking disgusting and nothing weird about it.
what if it were your kids that were murdered and you were doxxed and people showed up at your door and people called in threats for almost 10 years. Seems like some of you would be okay with that. all the while some fat frick is making millions off of it.

Not to mention he literally calls every mass shooting a hoax.

Because what you profit isn't relevant at all. What's relevant is the damage to the aggrieved party. And as multiple posters have said, wrongful death settlements and verdicts don't even approach the award here. The 30 Columbine families split under $3 million from multiple defendants, including the people who actually procured the killers weapons and committed crimes.

The "firehose of falsehood" tactic. Say one slanderous or otherwise batshit crazy thing, people notice. Say a hundred thousand crazy, batshit, slanderous things, people become desensitized to it.

Justify to me why Alex should pay 30 times the amount of cash for shite talking grieving parents than OJ who murdered his ex-wife and her lover in front of the house where his kids were sleeping. Oh you don’t have that you Woke cocksucker? Then yeah, shut the frick up. Like all commies, you simply want to destroy anyone who disagrees with you lives.

OJ didn't profit off of it. you are a dumb mutherfricker

You think Alex Jones profiting over harassing grieving parents is thirty times worse than OJ murdering his wife and a waiter? You’re fricked in the head, dude.
By the way, what should we do with the Westboro Baptist Church? They’ve done way worse than what Alex has done.

How are you going to quantify how much AJ made DIRECTLY from talking about SH? Did his revenue go up or stay the same before he talked about it? Did it drop after he stopped?
You keep posting the same argument and it's a stupid one in this case because there is no way to calculate how much, if any, of his profits were solely based on talking about SH.
His profits are from years of building his brand from talking about a variety of topics.

Our system should seek to disincentivize tortious acts.
If a tortious act is generates revenue for the liable party, the court system should take that revenue away from the liable party.

Kanye West is being kicked out of JP Morgan Chase Bank for controversial statements and he's worth billions. What we are seeing is an overt and concerted attempt to control narratives in the internet and social media age. Profits are now secondary. It's becoming harder and harder to destroy alternative media, so their tactics are getting even more blatant, hence the appeal to emotions. That's why everyone and everything is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or a conspiracy.

They should have just murdered the fat frick, like real men the Southern way but frick your if you think what he did was Ok.
OJ was bankrupt too, Landshark.
I don’t give a frick if they liberals neocons, trumpsters, whatever, going after people whose child was murdered is suck shite, and I hereby curse anyone that’s ok with it, and hope and pray you see such suffering in your life as well.

Why must you compare the 2? they are different cases. i don't care if they take OJ's entire estate and multiply it times 30.
Why are you white knighting for this POS?
you should go white knight for Russia and join their military. maybe you can steal some gold teeth off the dead
