A Texas judge ruled that Infowars host Alex Jones cannot use bankruptcy protection to avoid paying Sandy Hook massacre victims' families more than $1.1 billion for his conspiracy theories that the 2012 shooting was a hoax.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Lopez of Houston issued the ruling Thursday.
"The families are pleased with the Court’s ruling that Jones’s malicious conduct will find no safe harbor in the bankruptcy court," said lawyer Christopher Mattei, who represents the families. "As a result, Jones will continue to be accountable for his actions into the future regardless of his claimed bankruptcy."

Now, what exactly did Jones do?
Tell that to OJ Simpson.
He expressed an opinion. I don't agree his opinion but that was his crime.
Only ideas that offend a liberal are punishable.
How is Jones going to raise $1 billion? Sounds impossible

Jones claimed no one was killed at Sandy Hook, it was all fake, the children and parents were all hired actor to drive visits to his website and listeners to his program. He’s despicable.
Then someone should pay Tromp $100B for the Russia collusion hoax.
That amount is equally if not more grotesque than any fiction Jones believed to be true or not.
Meanwhile, has Adam’s daddy ever expressed remorse for not managing his deranged child?
“Jones claimed no one was killed at Sandy Hook, it was all fake,”
So?? Free speech, buddy. Love it or hate it, doesn’t make it actionable. This case should have been appealed on free speech grounds.
“Jones claimed no one was killed at Sandy Hook, it was all fake,”
Some FReepers said it too. Should they pay $1 billion??
Is being despicable a crime?
Yes, absolutely. Rachel MadCow, everyone at the NYT, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, CBS, NBC, C-BS, LA Times. etc...
He slandered the parents when he accused the parents of being in on the conspiracy. He got careless with his words.
Just make a one cent a month replacement plan
He can still say that, though
The words of conservatives (I.e. people who believe in the US constitution) are violence; the violence of liberals (ultraradical Marxist tyrants) is protected speech.
He is not likeable according to the media. He does not follow the media’s script. And in this day and age, that is more than enough. The media sets the narrative and the sheep bleat, Amen! Hell with forming one’s own opinion based on the facts the sheep baa. We have the media to tell us what to think and how to act. We stay busy smoking our medical marijuana.
