They got inspired by that Powerball increasing drama.

Jack it up every few days.

After appeal, he won’t owe anything.

1st Amendment trumps phony butt-hurt.

They are attempting to make Alex Jones a sympathetic figure?

Alex Jones may be terrible, but what purpose does it serve to render a judgement to him more than the top five richest people in the world? This means what he did was worse than actually killing someone. Seriously don’t believe what he did is worse than killing someone. Maybe someone else can verify the math, but I bet his total judgment is more than the combined total of judgments from family members who have sued somebody that killed their relative.

Why not make it an even $2B? or really send a message and make it a trillion. For all practical purposes it’s the same thing.

Who in hell are these idiot judges.

Just a guess -- it's not a conservative judge.

As I often say about the Democrat/RINO Uniparty: It's Good to own the MSM, the judicial system, Corporate America CEOs, academia, the White House, Soros-financed state attorneys general, the Senate, swing-state governors, all big city mayors, the violent BLM/Antifa riot organization, Big Social Media (minus twitter), all pro sports league commissioners, Soros-financed city DAs, the Deep State, etc.

You think too small. Pay off the national debt and fund it with a hundred trillion extra surplus!

I'm not a fan of Jones but has anyone who was awarded money demonstrated actual damages?

You make a great point. We have gotten to where we treat words as worse than physical violent crime. We are lost as a society.

Kind of like how people get more upset when an animal is killed, than they do when a human is killed. People talk about killing big game hunters that post pictures of the their kills all the time.

If any of those families think they’re getting any money from AJ, they’re in for a rude awakening. A billion from the last judgement and now this. AJ don’t have this kind of money just laying around. How’s that saying go...you can’t get blood from a turnip.

They know they aren’t getting very much. This is about vindictively destroying a man.

I think this falls into the “can’t squeeze blood from a turnip” territory.

I’m not a fan of Alex Jones. With that said, I always thought of his show as parody, but he crossed the line with the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory.

But, if he’s liable, why aren’t certain Democrat politicians liable? They have promoted and profited from conspiracy theories that led protesters to harass people and commit violence and vandalism.
