If someone shoots your wife or yourself in the stomach, you should kill them.
If someone says stupid sh*t about you and your wife, killing them is a ridiculous over reaction.
No, it's not an "over reaction" if someone strikes me or my wife. This is why offensive criminals are getting bolder. They know that people with your passive attitude will do very little or nothing if they are slapped. So, they keep getting bolder and more offensive. That's why they like sneaking up on old people and bashing them in their heads in broad daylight. Beat them to a pulp or near death, and, if they survive the ordeal, they might think twice about "slapping" another individual.
Alex Jones knew no bounds. But, he does now. And, it appears the court went the extra mile to make sure he wouldn't defame any private citizens again.
