I guess everybody on this site who said JFKs murder was a conspiracy, or 911, or uvalde should be charged for defamation too. What a world we live in.

I say go after others, use this as precedent. Schools, governments, etc.

Should Barry Goldwater have been sued for defamation for alluding to the fact that LBJ helped get JFK killed?

He met the standard of being sued for defamation:

quote:

---

To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact;

---

As he’s now openly admitted, Sandy Hook was 100% real. It was not a hoax with actors. Real people lost real children.

quote:

---

2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person;

---

He utilized InfoWars to communicate this lie to a large group of “third person” individuals.

quote:

---

3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and

---

Again, as he admitted in court, he knew he was perpetuating a harmful lie and refused to recant. He knew people were trying to harm these parents based on his lie.

quote:

---

4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.

---

As a result of his perpetuation of the lie, his InfoWars followers and at least one fellow employee made death threats, shot at, and endlessly harassed these parents.

Every democrat talking head that pushed Russian Collusion should be sued.

quote:

---

People in uvalde lost their kids. People on 9/11 lost family members. JFK lost his life. Doesn’t mean the conspiracy theories about these events are false.

---

If there was any truth to Sandy Hook being a hoax, Alex Jones had the opportunity to prove that in court.

He couldn’t. Because it isn’t true.

So, Roger believes in fairy tales and knights for Jones. Shocker.

Telling kids they are "transphobic or racist" for not accepting their looney theories.

Ok, so you loosely have #1. Where’s the rest? Where’s your proof of this communication to a third person? Where’s the proof of negligence on behalf of the teacher? And proof of tangible damages?

Why are you pushing a political angle? We don't know the politics of these parents.

That's stupid and has nothing to do with it.

I don't give a shite about the parents political angle. I care about those who lie, and their political angle.
