BREAKING: A jury says Infowars host Alex Jones should pay $965 million to people who suffered from the lie that the Sandy Hook mass shooting was a hoax
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Alex Jones isn’t the President of Ukraine.
I agree. He shouldn’t be mouthing off. In some worlds, he’d get punched in the mouth.
But a billion dollars? That’s ridiculous.
Likely made-up of hate-filled leftist scumbags.
That jury is on drugs.
Of course, Suppression. But it doesn’t change anything. They were allowed to defeat the first. Only an appeal and a just ruling on the first will fix this precedent.
Absurd considering many many more people made the same claims about Sandy Hook.
Exactly.
I guess just Jones has no 1st amendment rights. 🤷‍♀️
But as wrong as it is, it did go to court, and it was awarded, And it does now set precedence.
We can say it is wrong from our armchairs until we are blue in the face, it isn’t going to make any difference and not change anything. They just threw the 1st in the toilet like it or not.
Others said it was a hoax, too.
Have they been sued?
There may be a silver lining to this precedent. It opens the door to sue CNN, MSNBC, WaPO, Etc. for billions in class action.
How many divisions does the jury command?
The crooked legal system is a farce.
The outcome was always going to be the same regardless of his absence. It was in Commie-neticut, and parents of murdered children were in the room. Alex couldn’t compete with that. No one can.
I think Alex made the right choice. I hope his appeals are successful.
“I hope his appeals are successful.”
Now that is the key right there. Me too.
The 1st isn’t in play in this case. The government’s not involved.
It’s a civil case. The 1st doesn’t enter in.
I was in the jury pool a few years ago. They were calling potential jurors up one by one, asking them each a few questions.
When they called up on woman, an attorney jumped up and asked to approach the bench. The attorneys from both sides went to the judge’s bench and they discussed something. After the attorneys sat back down, the judge informed the rather attractive woman she was dismissed.
After she left the courtroom, the judge turned to the jury pool and asked, “Now are any more of you jurors sleeping with one of these lawyers?”
