He has to pay 4 million dollars for exercising his first amendment rights.

He won't. It'll be appealed.

Such a dumb take. Defamation laws exist.

He also had a default judgment entered against him. He doesn’t owe money because he lost on the merits or because of his first amendment rights. He owes money because he and his attorney are so stupid and sketchy that they couldn’t comply with Court orders or basic rules of discovery.

The white knighting for him here is hysterical given the actual proceedings.

Why is he in a court room in the first place?

For what he SAID.

Because he was sued, couldn’t win on summary judgment, and did such a terrible/defective job of defending himself that the Court entered a default judgment. Do you know how civil suits work?

Pretending like you actually believe anyone can say anything they like and not be subject to civil defamation or libel suits is not a good look. There simply are limitations on the first amendment same as the rest.

Defending Alex Jones is a new low for this board.

So who did he defame, and how do they prove he defamed anyone by having an opinion? An opinion shared by many, myself included, on the basis of a huge list of bizarre "coincidences" that no one seems to have a logical explanation for.

That's not even getting into the seemingly fake behavior of the purportedly grieving parents.

For publicly, loudly and repeatedly accusing grieving parents (who had not yet even buried their children) of faking the deaths of their children.

For what he SAID.
EVERY defamation case arises from something that the Defendant "said" (or wrote).

If I were to publicly state that FlexDawg repeatedly rapes his daughters and nieces and has been doing so for years, I would be exposed to a defamation claim (assuming that FlexDawg does NOT actually rape his daughters and nieces).
