A jury in Austin ordered Alex Jones to pay $4.1 million to the parents who lost children in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School who sued the InfoWars host for defamation.

Jones was sued by the parents after the radio host and conspiracy theorist said the Sandy Hook massacre, the deadliest mass shooting at a U.S. elementary school, was “completely fake” and a “giant hoax” during a 2017 radio show. Opening statements and testimony for the trial began last week, and the jury broke for deliberations on Wednesday.

Laughable. Utterly laughable. If such a video ever existed, it would be trumpeted to high heaven. It would lead every new story. It doesn’t exist sport. The supposed centerpiece of the lawsuit, and it doesn’t seem to exist.

“I guess it got taken down from YouTube”. ROFLMAO.

Please get serious. The internet is forever, especially for conservatives.

By the way, he never said it was a hoax. Not even once. Along with a stack of other news stories that day he read a story from daily hedge that asks some very pointed questions about it. You’ll notice that nobody can provide a video of him saying it was fake. It was discussed whether or not that story may be accurate, and if the fax made sense, but he never declared that it was a false flag. Don’t believe me? Try to find a video of him saying it. You know and I know that would be centerpiece everywhere.

Nick Sandmann lost his recent cases, NOT WON.

If he committed no crime there should be no punishment of any sort.

There are criminal infractions and civil infractions. What you are saying is that slander should not be punished. Sexual harassment should not be punished. Breaking a contract should not be punished. People can basically do or say whatever they want and as long as it isn't criminal there are no protections from it.

Have you ever glanced at what the press was like in the early Republic?

People who think the courts should make things right in civil matters where monetary damages are not involved are abusing the courts and legal system. They are abusing their fellow citizens with it too.

If folks want their pound of flesh maybe folks should grow thicker hides and pound sand instead?

You are aware that was 250 or more years ago, right? Things change.

People who think the courts should make things right in civil matters where monetary damages are not involved are abusing the courts and legal system. They are abusing their fellow citizens with it too.

So then you do believe that violating a contract should have no penalty. Libel should have no penalty. Harassment should have no penalty. People should be free to do and say whatever they want and as long as it isn't criminal then there are no repercussions.

If folks want their pound of flesh maybe folks should grow thicker hides and pound sand instead?

Should the same be true in the criminal world too? If I rob a bank and get caught then as long as I return everything I took then I should be free to walk? Or should there be a pound of flesh involved to discourage me from trying it again?

No idiot. You cannot go on the public airwaves and say something you know to be false about another person. That’s against the law.

Time does not change Law, only an act of the original right to amend (as per Marshall no less) the Law changes the Law when we are talking that sort of Law.

The Law has not been changed to permit excessive judgments (iow, not related to monetary damages).

There are no scribbling in the margins no matter how the modern Court has lawlessly done.

Elsewhere I just posted this for comparison:

Indeed, that homosexual act were illegal among the several States that ratified the Constitution and the Bill of Rights proves that there is not nor can there be any A4:S2:C1 “Privilege and Immunity” or a 9th Amendment “other right retained” to engage in homosexual sex.

Laws against homosexual acts are inherently constitutional.

And I continued in a subsequent post:

That they were against the law in the States that ratified the Law demonstrates that such laws cannot be unconstitutional.

The constitution cannot demand that those that ratified it were in any way abeyance of it except that it is expressly addressed by same Law, such as with the commerce clause that only existed to give Congress power to prevent States from giving their own citizens special privileges within their own jurisdictions at the expense of the citizens of other States who might choose to engage in commerce outside of their own State.

Lawyers ask about what item in Discovery was withheld that led to the Judge declaring a default judgement, that deprived Alex Jones of a trial by jury.

I don’t know if I would feel right getting rich off of a terrible incident even in a roundabout way that took the life of my child...and whatever happened to free speech? I’d say 4 million bucks is a far cry from free.

So when will the arrests happen to the ladies on the View, the Talk, CNN, MSNBC, Wapost, NYT, and the entirety of legacy media?

Sandman didn’t lose the last cases, they were rejected by the judge...I think.
