Not when his opinion is a lie that actually damages people. It’s defamation.

If he had said “I think Sandy Hook was a hoax” he would have been fine. 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.

I think Jones is one of those people who seeks fame at any price. He will say whatever gets him a large following.

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?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

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?

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.

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.

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.

That makes sense. Thanks.

?????
It’s still an opinion.
How is the father harmed by someone ‘s opinion?

And just how did Jones comment actually damage that father? Besides offending him?

And does someone taking offense constitute “damage”?

Let me guess, you're a lawyer?

Hint: If anyone says anything in the whole wide world it is either opinion or conjecture.

Since we all have the First Amendment nothing is actionable unless it equates to the proverbial falsely yelling fire in a theater causing people to die.

If you don't understand that, go soak your head for a few minutes.
