His claim that Sandy Hook was fake and conducted by crisis actors was beyond stupid. And what is ironic, is that there were individuals here who believed him.

Yes, but did it cause 1.5 billion in damages? No one was physically or financially damaged by his weird opinion. I doubt any of them even were subscribed to infowars. I’m not. This is being penalized for advocating a weird opinion.
Nobody on this site believed sandy hook was done by crisis actors. Furthermore the fact that you think that makes you the real kook.
You can go back over 20 years and lay out all the 10,000 crazy things that he said, and 50-percent are utterly false. The rest are either partially or fully-true. That was the problem...you couldn’t really get a clear handle over the dividing line.
I understand he made stupid comments but what did he do to get sued besides that?
I am genuinely asking.
The grieving families wanted blood from someone. They found a wealthy guy with a mental problem who made his wealth from his mental problem, and stuck it to him.
There kids are still dead, by somebody else. All they did was spread misery but keep their own grief alive longer.
They will choke and hate on that money.
Nobody won but satan and lawyers. Typical.

This was a political revenge verdict. No matter how stupid he was, the plaintiffs suffered only hurt feelings, not economic damages.
You do know free republic has a search tool, right?
“ Forget this guy, who was the 2nd black t shirt and camo pants guy who was running past the school buildings and taken into custody in the woods?”
“What proof do you have this was true? Because it was “reported”? I remember on 9/11 reports that a car bomb blew up in front of the State Department. Reporters will pass along any rumor they hear as news during an event like this. Doesn’t mean it really happened.”
“ Because the dates that appear next to Google search results are far from reliable. According to this, there were news reports and other information about the Sandy Hook shooting published as early as June. That’s clearly not the case, and just goes to show that you can’t rely on the Google search date.”
“ Was this school equipped with video monitoring? And if so, WHERE IS THE TAPE?
Nowadays, everyone has a video of everything. I find it curious that we have none in this case. It would put a lid on the question about the AR.
Barry’s “people” probably had nothing to do with the original act as some have speculated. I don’t buy into that nonsense, but if you told me they would rush in to re-arrange the crime scene for political reasons, now that’s within the realm of belief.”
“ We saw bloody students, shattered glass, sheet covered bodies, etc. at Columbine. Here at Sandy Hook we see nothing. Why is that?”
I could have gave many more examples.
I’ve had Freepers tell me there is no propaganda in films/media, argue with me on illegal immigration (as in defend it) and call me crazy when I said climate can change. I doubt if there is a single social media site that doesn’t have false actors pretending to be what group the site is for and only there to cause chaos. On a Dr Phil show he said some studies show up to HALF the participants can be bots, trolls and fakes on some sites.
“His claim that Sandy Hook was fake and conducted by crisis actors was beyond stupid.”
If I could sue every stupid person for billions I would be very very rich.
“His claim that Sandy Hook was fake”
I believe he REPORTED that some have said it was fake. The left glommed into that as a way to rationalize shutting him up.
Are you a Democrat?
