Not really. Theyre just dragging the dead reputation of this fat grifter through the streets.


Are they? From my perspective, they're making him a martyr.

I don't like courts being used as political tools, that's true. I don't care about Alex Jones specifically.

Pretty smart.


Maybe pretty smart for The Onion, but this is pretty stupid if your goal is to get restitution for your dead children.

He very well might be. Still doesn't mean the strong arm of the government should be taking his money away from him and giving it to others.

That depends entirely on the value of the new venture and turning InfoWars into the height of mockery online.

It's worth effectively nothing without AJ as is.

Even I argued against the ancaps that we need courts for private parties to settle disputes. I had no idea big-L libertarianism was back en vogue on here.

Any InfoWars without Alex Jones is worthless, no matter what they do with it.

He apologized for his comments long before he was sued, so how exactly was he "busted?"

The idiots screaming the loudest against Jones don't even know the details. You're emotional morons falling for the lies of the media.

You can't think about this case objectively because you're too emotionally involved. And you still have the ignorance to call others feminine. If you were actually using logic instead of letting your emotions control you, you would realize the trial was rigged and the 1st Amendment is more important than feelings.

Did a governmental court hear the case? Would a governmental entity enforce that civil judgement?

Sorry folks, but if my 6 year-old was murdered and some frickstick made money off denying it happened, I'd probably do more than screw with his professional career.


I'd bet you can't quote exactly what Alex Jones said about Sandy Hook in its full context. I doubt you've even heard the words in full context coming out of Jones' mouth. Most likely you are relying on the snippets of quotes presented by the biased media.

Conservatives willing to throw away the 1st Amendment over this case are no better than the leftists wanting to overturn the 2nd Amendment while screeching, "Think of the children!"

Why don't you give me his exact quote and I'll decide if AJ is worth going to bat for, regarding the 1st Amendment? If the exact phrasing is important in his endeavor, let's hear it.

So you need to hear the exact quote to determine if it's free speech?

Well, his treatment of the Sandy Hook families was objectively horrible.


Sandy hook families want to strip away my constitutional rights.


Alex doesn't.


So who do you think is the real villain here? Someone trying to frick over 300 million people? Or the guy that had questions about a tragic event?

Neither can you.

This isn't a first amendment issue. Defamation isn't protected by the first amendment, and this is not a criminal matter.
