Alex Jones files for bankruptcy as damages owed to Sandy Hook families total nearly $1.5B: report
The Hill ^ | 12/02/2022 | JULIA SHAPERO

Infowars host Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy on Friday, after a series of defamation trials resulted in Jones owing nearly $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, The Washington Post reported.

Jones reportedly listed his assets at between $1 million and $10 million and his debts at between $1 billion and $10 billion, according to the Post.

A Connecticut jury in October ordered Jones to pay $965 million in compensatory and punitive damages to 15 relatives of the victims of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The families sued Jones for spreading the unfounded conspiracy theory that the shooting — which left 26 people, including 20 young children, dead — was a hoax staged by the U.S. government.

Damage of what? Hurt feelings? Pain and suffering?

Of course this is a way to silence free speech whether one agrees or not. People have the right to be wrong? Or merely voice an opinion?

I suppose not.

It’s just establishing precedent of someone slightly famous that is fringe.
It will keep moving towards normal conservative positions.
Totally about control and silence…

Ultimately, that’s where I come down on it.

I do believe the guy needs to couch his words until he has proof,
but did his comments make the kids more dead?

This is complete nonsense.

This is how they can/will stamp out decent without resorting to re-education camps & firing squads. At least here in the early days.

Did anyone notice the FBI agent who testified at the trial he was traumatized by Jones, and is being awarded $90 million for it?

Seriously. Outrageous.
