if that free speech is a blatant lie and causes harm to another then it deserves punishment. defamation exists for a reason.

The 1st has limits. I know you know that, we all do. And yes, there are some things that you can say that will get you punished by the government, this is nothing new either.

Is the point you're making that we don't have "free speech" in this country due to the fact that there are some limits?

What "Harm" did A Jones cause by his words?

In at least one of the trials, it was defamation and IIED. I may have the individual cases mixed up, but one of the families was being harassed by Jones' followers for several years about being crisis actors or some such nonsense that Jones peddled despite Jones knowing that it was not true.

Knowingly lying to your internet following and whipping them into a frenzy directed at individual people based on said lie is inadvisable.

That's the claim. Biden also claims the Second Amendment isn't absolute.

I disagree.

You're talking about allowable speech, while trying to run your mouth about free speech because you're too stupid to understand the difference.

I'm not interested in digging into a topic with a retard who isn't capable of keeping up.

i'm talking about why Alex Jones got sued are you talking about something else?

because you implied "If you can be penalized by the governemt for speaking, you don't have free speech" while of course misspelling "government" but this isn't a spelling lesson, and yes you can speak and be penalized by the government while simultaneously having free speech.

you seem to be the one who can't keep up and become "not interested" when proven wrong.

He’s not interested in actually discussing the substance of anything and just wants to get a rise out of you. Don’t waste your time.

Wrong. As you should know better than some, I'm not interested in having my points misconstrued by idiots.

Oh yeah great point bro, is that why you called me a F A G?

You're literally having one the biggest meltdowns I've ever seen here, you're calling others names, and you spent a bunch of time making a stupid meme. Is that what level headed people do during argurments?

You can't say someone else is being overly emotional and then call them a F A G and spend 30 minutes making a stupid meme.

I hope defending Alex Jones's money is worth it.
