Infowars' Alex Jones has offered to pay $120,000 per plaintiff to resolve a lawsuit by relatives of Sandy Hook shooting victims who say he defamed them by asserting the massacre never happened, court papers say. The offer has been rejected by the families.

in November, and a trial is planned to determine how much he should pay the families.

The plaintiffs said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy promoted on his show. The court filings posted online said: “Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused.”Last week Jones defied a court order to attend a deposition near his home in Austin, Texas, to provide testimony ahead of the trial. Jones said he was ill.

Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The families of eight of the victims and an FBI agent who responded to the school sued Jones, Infowars and others in Connecticut over the hoax conspiracy. Jones has since said he believes the shooting did occur.

Jones also was found liable for damages in similar lawsuits filed in Texas by relatives of Sandy Hook victims, and also faces trial later this year.

ephemeragrrl Burn him for everything he's got. Ruin him.

God bless anyone whose kindergartener is murdered by a mentally unstable man whose mother was a moronic gun nut allowing him access to high powered rifles that could have been avoided. The saddest statement of our society is any human that does not empathize that tragedy.

There should also be a FULL long winded apology on every legitimate news program and on Fox nonnews

With as much money as he's accrued over the years, anything less than 5 to $10,000,000 would be an insult. $120,000 is a drop in the bucket to Jones.

Lol dude is running scared from his own BS

ok lol good for him 😂

Good. Nail his ass to the wall.

Good for them

Love to see it

Good for them.

It should be rejected by the families. This man insulted the victims along with their families by calling it a hoax.

Sue Alex Jones straight to hell.

He just put a price on innocent child lives. And it's a low price tag.

What a BS offer.

This man stalked and harassed these poor families he should have to pay them millions.

🤣😂🤣😂

That’s chump change for the vicious and hurtful lies he’s perpetrated

Of course it should be rejected.

Drain him dry! He hasn't learned his lesson... he needs to be penny less and out of the public eye. AlexJones

Not a chance if I’m a plaintiff - I would never settle and take everything

Cleaning him out would be the best option for everyone.

Take him for his dirty draws!

Good!! Bankrupt his sorry ass!!!

Yay

Hell yeah. Make his ass go broke

TheRealCoryElia Good. He needs to lose everything.

Lock him up.

A ghastly mass murder of kindergarten children occurs, a man says it did not... SandyHook

Do not settle. Take everything he owns. I want to see him begging on the street.

Ruin him

He'll learn his lesson

these people are the worst of the worst. It would be better for everybody if A.J. never get's to broadcast again.

Not enough. Take every fucking cent and set that show on the surface of the sun.

He wants to pay LESS than 2 minutes worth of Stormy Daniels? Hard pass. Pay up.

The “Families” have made lawsuits and money the focus.

LMAO. Tick, Tock Alex………

AlexJones should face financially, the kind of trauma and psychological ruination he wrought on those parents by taunting and tormenting them for years; exploiting their unfathomable grief out of bald faced greed for personal profit. SandyHook

Good for the families. Leave him penniless, homeless, and out of work.

Good for the families for rejecting this cruel, rich man’s puny offer. He is a horrible excuse for a human.

Maybe he should have a meet up with Will Smith. To set him straight.

Smart people. It’s time this guy pays the price for his insane disturbing rantings and lies about Sandy Hook, and the vile added heartache he heaped on to those devastated family’s. He needs to be bankrupted into oblivion and obscurity.

Garnishment sounds like a good option here.

What exactly did alex say or do that makes him liable to lose everything? Is it a crime to say it was fake or that false flags have happened before?

$120K per each year since Sandy Hook per plaintiff just as a starting point, sure.

… +++ …

That’s like what a crate full of dr Steve rogue one cia dick pills per person,..?

He can take that money and insert it forcefully into his anus.

Take everything from him, and return a properly placed pineapple.

markel_2024 THAT IS BS! A pittance to the hurt and pain he has caused!!

markel_2024 How dare he pay Pennie’s on the lives of children.

A little too late. A little too small.

Bankrupt him, Info Wars, and impact future earnings.

They want him out out of business. Absolutely destroyed and I support them.

Money can’t bring their children back. That was never the point.

Good make it hurt then repeat.

How insulting. This guy IS crazy, and utterly unaware of the damage he caused these families.

He called them the 'Sandy Hook Mafia' last week. Take every penny.

I hope they take everything he has and any future earnings he might ever make.

That’s not a settlement, it’s a slap in the face. 🤬

Give up some of that FU money you got stashed away Alex. You’ve got at least another 8 months left feeding from the trough.

It's all fun talking shit till the debt collectors come knocking at your door...... dude's bout to be penniless...😂😂😂😂

Good for them

Add a couple more zeros, and it’s still not enough!

Lol 120k. They're gonna bankrupt this guy.

Good. Bankrupt him.

He should be ashamed of himself.

AND the insults continue to rain on the families.... What kinda of madness goes through his mind. Just aweful!!!

I hope they donate every cent to fighting the NRA.

How does Jones make money? I've never seen his show. I would have never heard of him if it were not for Twitter.

Nice down payment.

The fact that he has access to that amount of money is a sad comment on society

Make him pay a lot more

Imagine thinking that would make up for the horror and agony he’s put them through.

wait... he's facing a lawsuit and a guy just got btchslapped at the oscars 2 days ago with no consequences? 'the land of the free'. More like the land of the clinically insane.

Alex Jones is the cancer of the modern world
