It’s funny to see people who think sandman and rittenhouse deserve large judgements try to trivialize and minimize what Jones has done to these families for a decade simply because everything in their life is viewed from a political us v them point of view.

According to the various victims parents his followers were calling, emailing and even driving to their house with hateful crap because they were convinced all this Sandy Hook was made up.

How someone could think that this was made up Is very strange.

I dont think rittemhouse deserves money. I think the entire sue culture of this country is out of control. You sue for medical bills when you are injured by something out of your control and it's someone else's fault.

I need 10 million because CNN talked bad about me is bullshite

It’s bullshite to knowingly, intentionally, and repeatedly tell lies that negatively affect the lives the others for your own personal gain. Defamation laws have a valid place in society.

How much revenue do you think Alex Jones generated over the last decade by slandering these people?

Were any of these people arrested and charged?

Did they all get off on the ‘some dude on the radio saying crazy shite made me do it’ defense?

So he has to pay them 4 mil for saying mean things on the radio and hurting feelings? Right or wrong of him to say, this seems outrageous



I mean, if he made millions of dollars off the lie and his listeners were directly harassing and threatening parents...that is a problem.

So, kinda like the mental terror of your child being gunned down and then having people coming to your house harassing you saying you are a liar and your dead child is fake? Kinda like that?

And a person makes money of these lies and gets rich, and knowingly continues to make money off of this. One would think the parents would legally and rightfully deserve a cut of the money made off these lies about them

Maybe charge the followers? That would be an idea. But they're not worth millions, so this is what happens.

The actions of the followers are a result of Jones using his platform spreading the lie

Somewhat, yes.

You think the parents sued him because he goes against the grain? You think he made hundreds of millions because no one cares about him or listens? What is your motivation for trying to minimize what he did here? Are you a listener/follower or just playing the us v them game that dominates your world view?

You aren’t on the PT. You can stop being a pathetic tribal being who views everything as us vs them and buried all common sense and decency

The MSM is wrong when they do it, and rightfully should be sued when it’s this egregious. See Sandman. They got what they deserve

I forgot, did Jones tell his followers to go to their houses and harass them?

Surely those people were arrested. Sue them into oblivion.

No. I'm not going to sue the newspaper because they wrote a story about me or my company that's not true. I don't deserve their money.

You are part of the sue culture

If it made you unemployable or cost you business or otherwise has a significant affect on your life and they refused to stop telling lies about you, you would 100% sue.

No one believes you would just sit back and let someone repeatedly publish lies about you convincing millions of people you are a pedophile or scam artist or whatever the lie was.

How fricking naïve.
