Not clicking any of your propaganda.

I don't care if Alex Jones shit on someone's chest.

Being forced to pay out 1 Billion dollars is fucking insane and it was obviously politically motivated, which is a slap in the face of fair and impartial justice.

[MrSparkle001]

Almost $1 billion because he said things that hurt someone's feelings?

You don't get in that much trouble for yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater. He didn't assault them, he didn't scam them out of their life savings, he didn't defame their character.

He said things they found hurtful.

I don't agree with the asshole one bit but wtf kind of judgement is this??

This will be appealed and the egregious jury decision drastically reduced.

See this is the problem with juries in the modern day. Nobody, and I mean nobody, will be neutral.

I may border on hating Alex Jones (I don't like to hate anyone, I mean genuinely hate) but I'm hating this decision even more. Really bad precedent it's setting.

He's a piece of shit. Fuck him.

He did more than hurt their feelings, Trumptards. He put those families in the crosshairs. He knows his followers are mentally unstable by definition because they're delusional enough to be his followers.

Those families and people associated with the case received death threats and harassment due to his actions. And as this unfolded, he continued to double down. For years.

Now, I wonder what the venn looks like for Infowars audience/Sandy hook conspiracy theorists and P99 Trumptards that post in off topic. Just one circle?

[Mblake1981]

Almost $1 billion because he said things that hurt someone's feelings?

Not exactly, from the responses I have read it had more to do with his "followers" who went out to peoples homes and harassed them. Some claim there were death threats.

It's that thing where if you are a person of influence that "followers" are your responsibility.

Edit question: Why do people not "follow" those they dislike and want removed, you know.. do things in their name.

[Mblake1981]

What justifies exploiting dead children and making money off of the pain of their families like a ghoul?

Appeal to emotions, about as much that justifies making movies off the 2008 financial crash that also caused some deaths.

Alex is controlled opposition, hes the punching bag that gets the check and plays cat & mouse with "globalists".. they even let him in Bohemian grove and did a little acting thing where they were put off about it.

[Reiwa]

A distant cousin of mine whose husband died in Iraq got 600k I think.

Jones didn't kill nobody.

[Basanos]

Our government has long treated soldiers as disposable, that's a different issue.

And if Alex is the controlled opposition, like I implied yesterday, $965 million is no problem for the billionaires that back him. He'll probably emerge from this richer, you goons. Give it a few years.

[Encroaching Death]

Yeah, he did get off too easy


What should have been the punishment then?

[unsunghero]

Yeah, he did get off too easy

I don't know what this means, but they participated in the court case, they sure seem to think they were harmed by virtue of doing so

He asked is the suffering = 1 billy = $1 billion

Man, my memory of my jury duty is really getting hazy because it was more than 10 years ago now, but I was on a civil case where the intangible cost of “pain and suffering” came up

If I recall, there is a way lawyers can try to use to quantify it. They take the loss of income from not being able to function at one’s job for a period of time due to like psychological distress, any mental health treatments they may have gotten as a result, basically they look for a base value that they can somehow quantify with a number

Then they multiply that base value by another quotient. I don’t remember what that other quotient was

So in the civil case I was in it was something like [missed_work] + [physical_therapy_cost] * x = pain and suffering (this was for a car accident)

But it’s not that lawyers are pulling a number out of their ass, they do make attempts to try to quantify it

Most likely this number got so large because it was multiplied by the number of families affected

[Basanos]

What should have been the punishment then?Worse

We've been through this. Billionaire goons don't get sued for 1 billion dollars.

Alex Jones is a pariah and the only people who back him have zero power.

Most likely this number got so large because it was multiplied by the number of families affectedYeah the multiplier was like 500 million plus, I didn't see all of it or the math but I gathered from the reporting that there was some kind of equation or something that they used per dead child multiplied by time

[unsunghero]

Yeah families affected * time is gonna get into some big numbers

In my civil case (was this one civil?) the jury still had to agree on the number. I was a jury member who spun the number way down on my case because we all had to the impression the guy was abusing the legal system

He had already gotten paid (well) for the accident, then like 10 years later re-sued for MORE money. The entire thing seemed pretty sketchy, we all agreed. We gave him probably not even enough to cover his legal costs

Edit: we also found out via the other lawyer the guy wasn’t even attending the physical therapy sessions

This is all theater. AJ is controlled opposition imho. This is either to set the precedent on what they will do to people who call out the status quo or its an attempt to incite civil war. Either way something about the whole thing feels fake/forced/phony.

Imagine feeling pity for Alex Jones of all people lol

[unsunghero]

Litigation is also another element of job security for my field of mental health

So if someone does something to someone, and the other person plans to sue them, they will probably go to therapy for the incident whether they really needed to or not. That way they can have receipts for a value which will then come up in the civil case

And even not going could actually hurt their case, where the other lawyer could argue “if this distressed you so much, why didn’t you have it treated?”

Great job security for me, man…

So because some mentally ill people that listened to him went to peoples' homes he's responsible for them? Did he like directly tell them to do that? Or did they take it upon themselves to do it?

Until information is released that tells me how he is guilty of other peoples' harassment and death threats I will disagree with this inflated judgement.

Its sad to think that trump was susceptible to any pressure, but if you look at his presidential run, he aws trying to be a little less trump and a little more play ball, but of course that didnt work and he should have not fired steve bannon and should have went all in day 1 instead of on jan 6th

Was this a defamation suit?

I think when people ask why there aren’t lawsuits for every other lie printed that resulted in some form of death or calamity, from researching it…to win a defamation suit the claim needs to be demonstrably false

So character attacks usually won’t qualify. If I printed “The police are racist” or even “[Insert_name] is racist”, it’s very difficult to prove that as false, since there is no “is not a racist” qualifier that can be used to demonstrate

But if I printed “[Insert_name] is not a real Doctor”, they could use their medical license to prove it as false. Conversely if I printed “[Insert_name] lied about their kid being a shooting victim” the person could provide a police report and death certificate

This is just a guess, but it basically gives politicians and the media free reign on character attacks, as long as they don’t attack a credential

yeah, trump was also playing this weird, i want the "americans" to like me, its like the "pence" factor.

Try to get something to make evangelicals like him. All the iraq war lovers and bush voters etc. But they had already jumped ship for the DNC

Back during trumps presidency, the left wasnt anarcho anti USA as much as it is now, even though it was trending that way the day trump was nominated.

Now, the right is full blown down with the USA - so if trump can get elected embracing that, I think we'd see some pardons for all these freeom fighters.

Then his followers literally track you around the country forcing you to move locations to avoid harassment as well as protest your dead son or daughter’s existence during their funeral. While all that’s going on, your child’s grave has been found to be defaced and pissed on regularly. That’s what happened to some of the parents. The lawsuit is for damages.

Liberal media just spent the last week thrashing a man for having an abortion that they admitted they had no idea whether it was true or not and have you noticed they suddenly have stopped talking about it 100% do you know why because it was all a huge lie and something they should be liable for $1 billion for.

Imagine losing your child in a school shooting. Then Alex Jones goes on his show and says it was all fake and your child didnt exist. Then his followers literally track you around the country forcing you to move locations to avoid harassment as well as protest your dead son or daughter’s existence during their funeral. While all that’s going on, your child’s grave has been found to be defaced and pissed on regularly. That’s what happened to some of the parents. The lawsuit is for damages.

What the fuck kind of country do you think you live in where that is illegal?

Every day the news says trump had hookers piss on him, without a shred of evidence.

Imagine your dad makes it to the oval office, and all you see on the news are lies about how there's a piss fountain with him.

Nobody cares.

This is a PURITAIN church "we dont like these black fingernails and satan music" witchunt.

And it's not the innocent

I think you have to be able to prove they knew it was false when they said it to get litigal about it.

Jib has his reasons for supporting a wife beating, abortion-having hypocrite (because he isn't a Democrat still).

No it’s the righteous.

Just because an evil person is not committing a crime it doesn’t mean that I should say that he is!
