Lawyers for Sandy Hook families, who were recently awarded a billion dollar compensatory judgment against radio host Alex Jones, are now seeking the “highest possible“ amount in punitive damages totaling $2.75 trillion in hopes to take Jones off the air forever.
The cartoonishly large amount, which supposedly factors in 550 million “social media exposures” that Infowars would have generated on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook in the three years following the mass shooting and multiplies it by $5,000, was reported by Bloomberg News Friday.
Sandy Hook families asked a Connecticut judge to order Alex Jones to pay $2.75 trillion in damages in addition to the almost $1 billion a jury awarded for defamation, claiming only “the highest possible punitive damages,” will stop the Infowars host from continuing to harm them.

Australia has exported their excess kangaroos to run the US Legal System.
They must be nearly extinct down under now.
I can now see the ‘roo DNA in Traitor Roberts.
Clarity comes.
That’s what it is all about.
Good luck getting that amount, turkeys.
Make sure that is denominated in quatloos.
My sympathy for those people has run out.
If “When he said Robbie Parker (one of the victims fathers) was acting when he was crying at a press conference, then Robbie Parker can sue” is what was said by Jones then there is no way it is not an opinion. How does that become defamation?
But when Robbie Parker sues for $2.75 trillion, isn’t it possible that at that point, he should simply be laughed out of court?
Bunch of commies.
This country is coming unraveled faster and faster...
ROFLMAO
if he’s actually wrong, then prove it by providing the info he says doesn’t exist
Who knew Alex Jones could balance the budget?
You are an imbecile. Don’t need you anywhere close to me.
AJ has called out things that would curl your hair. Not a conspiracy, just a spoiler alert. Idiot.
He has every right to speak his mind. People like you are the problem in this country. Freedom of speech is free speech, even when offensive or you disagree. Get over it.
Except it is true:

Reminds me of Bill Clinton at Ron Brown's funeral. Laughing until he sees the camera on him, and then sheds a tear.
Dude looked like fake crying to me…. So I should be sued for my observation and personal opinion?
Yup! I remember that one too!
