Well, if I slander you, or libel you, or threaten you specifically, then I deserve it, exactly as if I discharged a firearm into your home.

It’s pretty hard to prove libel or slander, it requires not only that the statement be false but that the person defaming *knew* it was false.

Sometimes the ‘low hanging fruit’ is just rotten.

It’s a lot like guns. I am a fervent believer in the right to own, and carry, damned near anything. However I don’t have the right to drunkenly brandish a gun, threaten people with it (other than in self defense), fire it up in the air, and can reasonably be held responsible if I loan it to a child, a known criminal, or a drunk.

Idiots like Jones, much like a moron neighbor I had who later chased his girlfriend’s lover down the street shooting at him after he caught them, deserve no sympathy and are useful idiots for the Left.

I have no sympathy for Jones in particular—but I think a lot of folks around here do not understand the full context that surrounds Sandy Hook.

There was another individual who was sued and had his book on Sandy Hook banned—if you dig hard enough you can find his name.

Random Person A libeling Random Person B is not the same as making unproved allegations against the Deep State.

One is personal—one is political.

You will figure it out—soon enough....
