I haven’t seen the tape of him saying the things that he reportedly said, HAVE YOU?

Private property has every right to ban people. Next, we will have gay pimpers and pedophiles on FR pushing a agenda. Homos and loons don’t have a right to ‘free speech’ on FR or Twitter.

Mr. Jones made millions by extracting hard-earned money from very stupid and paranoid people.

I have no problem with Alex taking those people’s money.

I have little problem with Alex handing it over to the plaintiffs.

Eh, that’s somewhat excessive > IMO.

These are punitive awards, meant to punish Jones for his defamation and encourage him not to do it anymore. I think $45.2 million for each plaintiff is a pretty strong encouragement.

I didn’t know this, but there’s evidently a $750,000.00 cap
on punitive damages in Texas.

He got the message, I’m sure.

“I though punitive limit was $750k in Texas.”

If this is the case, the wealth redistribution folks are going to be on suicide watch.

When do Iraqi families get to sue Dick Cheney for “falsely claiming” that Iraq had WMDs and had something to do with 9/11?

Where do you start?
Most of what the press puts out are complete lies anyways.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

That doesn’t look like the judge I saw on the bench.

Another internet photo collage?

The judge I saw was clearly younger.

Those deals usually also involve the defendant waiving the right to appeal.

Ok, my bad……there were 2 Judges involved in the Jones case.

This pic you posted does look like the last judge involved, the trial judge.

So it’s her. I apologize.

Always thought Alex Jones was CIA/FBI financed to collect info on the loonies via his membership base. My mind hasn’t changed.

Alex Jones is no longer useful to the deep state like a used condom tossed to a street gutter.
