HARTFORD, Conn. — Infowars host Alex Jones offered to pay $120,000 per plaintiff to resolve a lawsuit by relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who said he defamed them by asserting the massacre never happened, according to court filings Tuesday. The offer was quickly rejected by the families.
A Connecticut judge found Jones liable for damages in November, and a trial is planned to determine how much he should pay the families.
The plaintiffs said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy promoted on his show.
The court filings posted online said: “Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused.”

I wish there was a list of things we’re not allowed to say, or ideas we’re not allowed to explore. Then maybe this could have been avoided.
Make it a shorter list of permitted utterances and inquiries.
You and every mainstream news outlet on the planet
Maybe you could ask him to pass the ketchup?
And there are a handful of people here who still promote him as credible.
There used to be FReepers who said the same. Where are they now?
Still around, and there are plenty of them. They may not outnumber the amount of FReepers left who are still capable of rational thought, but they certainly are more vocal.
Many years ago, when I was writing and blogging, I went to NYC for a 911 anniversary remembrance. The year was around 2006, maybe ‘04 or ‘05. Anyhow, I ended up running into a big “Truther” protest in front of WTC 7 owner Larry Silverstein’s office led by Alex Jones. That loudmouth scumbag was trying to incite the crowd to murder Silverstein. I have no doubt that had Silverstein, or anyone mistaken for him, appeared they would have been killed. Jones is an ignorant, unintelligent, loudmouthed, self-aggrandizing, self-promoting, reckless dirtbag of the lowest order. Good to see him pay a heavy price for his f*ckery.
