"The trial court’s entry of a default in these cases is stunning. It takes no account of the tens of thousands of documents produced by the defendants, the hours spent sitting for depositions and the various sworn statements filed in these cases. What’s more, these cases are currently before the United States Supreme Court where we have asked for review of the Texas Supreme Court’s denial of motions to dismiss.
We are distressed by what we regard as a blatant abuse of discretion by the trial court. We are determined to see that these cases are heard on the merits. Nothing less than the fundamental right to speak freely is at stake in these cases. It is not overstatement to say the first amendment was crucified today.”
Video response from Alex Jones here
Alex Jones gets some things right, but going after the parents of murdered school kids was way out of line.
I don’t care what anyone says, I’ve always liked Alex Jones. Everyone that was fine with him being blacklisted are the ones hoping to be the last one thrown to the alligators.
He did not go after them and he refutes this.
He wants a jury trial I believe...
Speculation on major news events should be permitted, even when it isn’t pleasant.
But it sounds like his attorney, Norm Pattis, screwed up and/or screwed Alex by advising him not to produce the additional material requested.
Jones had a period a few years back where everything was a false flag complete with fake blood and crisis actors. Explosions, shootings, it didn’t matter. Everything was a FF. Sandy Hook is where he completely rolled off the rails.
He also says as part of his defense that he did not name any of the complainants which under defamation laws in Texas is necessary.
(I’m not a lawyer so dont quote me on this)
Yep, it definitely sounds like an attorney screwup.
Alex Jones gets some things right, but going after the parents of murdered school kids was way out of line.

Knowing what we know about the government, everyone should be cautious about condemning free speech. Yesterday’s conspiracies are rapidly becoming today’s reality. For God’s sake, at least give the man his day in court. This is Fascism plain and simple.
Really, ok then don’t listen to him, but there’s now way, if the 1st Amendment is respected and followed that Jones would lose this case, he did nothing illegal, he only spoke his opinion and you can agree or disagree with it, but he should not be disallowed to speak it.
It is my fervent hope the jury will deliver a judgement that will finally bankrupt that piece of crap and we'll be rid of him.
The FedGov is locking up Patriots, members of the military and parents who dare to ask questions or speak the truth.
This country is already at war with the Satanic powers that be. Those who turn a blind eye to this are siding with the enemy.
I’m not going to defend him except to say everyone deserves their day in court and I believe that is his argument against this default judgement.
He is asking for a jury trial.
Again, I’m no lawyer and not familiar with how defamation cases work in Texas...
Bears repeating.
Do I need to publish the list that proves this statement?
Let's start with:
1. Russia-gate
2. Stolen Election
3. The 'Insurrection' that wasn't
4 ...
Edgy political critics are bound to get some things wrong but that shouldn’t stop us from considering what they have to say on a range of subjects. Alex Jones has been off target from time to time, as he probably was in this case. But I think he’s right about much bigger issues, or at least he caught on to things before a lot of other people did.
Now everybody is Alex Jones.
Can anyone point me to a single comprehensive Sandy Hook post-mortem, as we’ve seen numerous times with Columbine?
Correct.
All he has to lose is his credibility if he can’t produce the evidence that supports his claims.
Different states - they may have different rules about disclosure.
So a patriotic guy who offends some people is too much for you?
Think Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams had some relevant things to say about this a long time ago.
