Relatives of 10 victims sued Mr. Jones in 2018 for defamation and were awarded more than $1.4 billion in damages

granted the relatives are entitled to some damages, but this latest trend of levying a billion???? or even tens of millions is so way out of line as far as punishment fitting the crime. Somebody has got to get a handle on this runaway train. It’s just not right.

This award should result in punishment for everyone involved in levying it. This is extreme and ridiculous, and this award demonstrates they did not take their duty seriously, or that they are mentally incompetent to preside over a case of law.

This is like punishing someone for slapping you by shooting them in the stomach. It is *WAY* beyond any perceived injury, and it is clearly only intended to shut up the man and dissuade others from speaking out on national issues in the way Alex Jones does.
