Alex Jones told a jury Wednesday that a significant defamation judgment could foretell the end of his Infowars media empire, in testimony during a trial to determine damages for repeatedly saying publicly that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax

Mr. Jones was testifying in his Austin hometown before a jury tasked with determining the amount he must pay to the parents of a 6-year old boy killed in the shooting. He was found liable by default last year in a string of defamation lawsuits filed by victims’ families, after he declined to mount a defense. Damages have yet to be determined in the other suits.

He went too far with Sandy Hook but like him or not this won’t destroy his platform. All his businesses could go bankrupt but people will still come to him to hear his conspiratorial theories. Many of which are beneficial to hear in an open and free society.

Serves him right.

He shudna lied. That’s what he gets.

Speech and expression are not absolute! Boundaries are libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, hate speech, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets ETC. Can we agree to profit from others' pain and suffering is obscene?

One can only hope!!

We can only hope. Every person involved with InfoWars should be taken to the cleaners. What a horrible hellscape of sick and twisted people.

Good.

Fuck that 'empire'.

He is an actor. He’s always been an actor. He thrives on the same sensationalism that keeps prosperity preachers building mega churches. He was always going to be a fall guy. If he wasn’t an actor, he would double down and die on that hill. He’s always been a psyop.

Freedom of Speech is dead

In America you are allowed to hold ridiculous beliefs. Right?

here's hoping
