Alex Jones to pay $1 billion

Any reason why AJ & other “alternative news” folks went so far over overboard on Sandy Shooting?

Pretending there was no victims is krazy
 
An appeal would probably be detrimental to AJ. It would prolong the looming outcome. He is probably better off filing bankruptcy ASAP and starting over. Funny thing is the person or entity that will be brought in to oversee the management and distribution will charge a hefty sum that will probably render nothing at all going to the plaintiffs.
 
Is there no right to be crazy?

Be crazy all one wants, no problem there.

But, with liberty comes responsibility.

Even if/when I feel something strongly, I refrain, until I can back it up, at times by "following the money". Credibility usually goes much further.
 
Incorrect.

It's only non-dischargeable if they find that there was malicious intent. They would need to prove that he didn't believe what he was saying, there is no evidence of that.

I don't even know why they think he thought that no kids died. I've seen quotes from mainstream media articles strung together, but never a coherent clip where it happened. Alex Jones said he didn't promote the theory, he only covered it by having guests on. Of course he wasn't allowed to argue this in the trial, because the judge said he couldn't defend himself and she had already found him guilty because of some BS they made up about discovery.

and his lawyer never made a motion for a mistrial?
 
What if he runs for office? and receives a billion dollars in campaign contributions? Jones 2024 just to spite the system?
 
I mean... isn't this whole episode a re-run of Larry Flynt??

I remember watching that as a kid. An outspoken loudmouth puts out material that the state doesn't like and they have lots of cheerleaders that spur them on to go after him. This whole thing... it's the same story like 40 years later.

I guess what I'm saying is that this is why you need constant vigilance to retain your rights. Because the state has a long memory. Even if you beat them, it won't be long until they try again. And this goes with everything - not just the 1st Amendment. Every liberty you still have needs to be jealously guarded. And your children need to know this. And their children. And theirs.

and all it takes is for SCOTUS to rule against one time and precedent is set.
 
No, I think the intent is to send a warning message to anyone in the future who may question official narratives.

I agree.

But I don't think it's going to work.

And I think they know it (or at least, the less un-self-aware among them do).

They simply no longer have the degree of control they once had as curators and gatekeepers over the apparatus of information dissemination.

And it's driving them crazy because there's little they can effectively do about it, except wail and whinge. (The practice of "fact checking", for example, is symptomatic of their desperation, and has become a source of rich fodder for derision and mockery.)

Draconian victories like this Jones verdict (assuming it stands) are about the best they can hope for - and even those are apt to be Pyrrhic, given that they tend to foster ever-deepening cynicism.

It is an attempt to silence Alex Jones. Even if Alex is wrong, he still has a Constitutional Right to speak. What they are trying to do is shut him down because he has the ability to spread information without their control since he owns his own platform and network. He has already been kicked off every other controlled information outlet.

Why silence Alex Jones?

Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies. If Alex Jones does speak the truth, that is an ACT OF TREASON by their definition.
