re: Looking back at the Alex Jones trial.

People who defend Alex Jones are going straight to hell. No discussion, straight to hell.

So, are the people that defend the Rhetoric of a platform such as the Young Turds, I mean Young Turks, are they also going to hell?

Since when has freedom of speech been about 100% agreeance or even worrying about other's feelings? Jones was 100% wrong about Sandy Hook and we once lived in a society that had him labeled as a nut job, and that's where it ended. We now live in a society that a man can be sued for 1.5 billion dollars for just uttering a false accusation that had no victims. If you can't see the insanity behind this then you don't deserve the little bit of freedom you still have.

MAGA is acting like this is the first time in history someone won a defamation lawsuit.

It's always funny when something bad happens to a MAGA figure, all of the little cultists find out about something that the world has known about forever.

See: defamation, obstruction, falsifying business records, assault, etc

So what happened to all those families (whose children were brutally murdered) because of that opinion?

---

You are making it sound like the kids were murdered because of Jones's opinion, that's just fricking stupid. They were murdered because a pathetic shite stain of a person decided to hit up the softest and most innocent target he could find.

He won't. He's a textual absolutist that lacks either the conviction or ability to articulate his belief that enumerated rights are absolute, despite no court or legal authority in the history of the United States agreeing with him--including the people who wrote the Constitution.

That or he's just playing semantics.

You understand that Jones was penalized far beyond what the jury awarded, don't you?

that has nothing to with free speech, respectfully.

Nonsense. More than that, it circles back to my original point and indeed the larger point of this thread.

can you post a link to prove your above post about him being penalized more than the jury awarded?

because what i found was one juy (Connecticut) awarded 965 million and another (Texas) 50 million.

so how was he penalized more than what the jury awarded again?

quote:

---

The massive $900+ million dollar damage award came from a jury in Connecticut, not a judge. The Texas judge nominally awarded damages above the Texas jury award in that suit, but it doesn't matter because punitive damages are capped by Texas law.

Effectively none of it is getting paid anyway.

you found what i found! so he's still wrong

This was wrong. See his edit...
