Because he said things that he knew were false. His words caused great pain and suffering. He’s being sued for the liable and the pain caused
His accusations were and are outlandish
Yep, I realized this immediately after I posted. The “public figure” standard has also been brought up before on the Mark Levin show.
"Causing pain and suffering" from words is legally actionable? So we can sue people for hurting our feelings? Ridiculous. Did he KNOW they were false, or is he conspiratory-minded and believed the "crisis actor" videos that circulated, many of whom were and remain (if you can even find them) disturbing.
Patriots don’t slander parents of murdered kids
In real life, someone's responses to a traumatic event like loosing a child in a mass murder is not what movies and TV show. People will going on a out of control emotional roller coaster due to the shock of what happened.
People will act weird during and after traumatic events where they are completely powerless. Hollywood has conditioned people to think that everyone will just sit down and cry or go into police/military first aid mode. That is far from reality.
Jones didn't see what he wanted to see, the news didn't show what he wanted them to show, so he started making assumptions and accusations he could not back up. Calling a parent of a murdered children "crisis actors" went way too far and he was going to get the hell sued out of himself for it.
Did you see the aerial video of the crowd? You see the same line of people walking through a door to the outside, circling the building, walking back in, and then exiting the same way to walk around the building again. At ground level — for the benefit of a news camera, for example — it would look like your usual milling about after some disaster or other. But the aerial view is exceedingly weird.
I wasn’t following Alex Jones then so I didn’t watch any of his videos. Do you have links to the video or key words to search for it?
I watched it at the time, but didn’t save the links. It’s been awhile.
He is being sued for liable
Cut him some slack…the left hates him and he made one mistake.
There WAS a lot of weirdness surrounding that horrible event.
He told lies lots of them and apparently slandered people. But there are some on FreeRepublic who still thinks the guy’s poop doesn’t stink.
When you need the facts, Alex Jones is not a reliable person regarding facts.
