Genuine question. How have they put a monetary value on emotional distress, and how are all the figures so different.
There are jury instructions on how to determine damages
I was thinking the same..
@@dh5380 Ah okay. I was just thinking it’s cruel to say that somebody has suffered more than somebody else
They weighed the personal testimonies and details from expert testimony as well as the steps various families have had to take to get a semblance of safety.
@@LongbranchOlivetti it’s how you actually can compensate someone for emotional damages. It’s unfair as heck
When am I going to get emotional damage compensation for being lied to about Iraq and losing parts of my body as a result?
To do that, you'd have to file suit against a whole host of politicians. You're welcome to try, and see how you fare.
AJ told the truth about Iraq
American boy thought going to war and killing people would be fun.
Shoot hit up that camp lejune fund. They're plugging that like crazy. Anyone that had a glass of water there for the past 30 years is eligible
You joined! That is always the risk you take, even if you are not sent to combat.
Huge congratulations to Alex Jones for soon becoming the largest single donor to the Sandy Hook Promise foundation of all time 🎉🎉
AJ is talking about it now on banneddotvideo
Yeah right they’re not getting one dime of that kangaroo money.
Nice witch trial bro
You wish clown lol
Lol they not getting any money lol he doesn’t have 1 billion dollars lol
For everyone cheering about this how do you feel about OAN's case being thrown out against Rachel Maddow after it was determined she is an opinion show and is not responsible for what she says on her show? Seems to completely contradict what was done here. You don't have to like Alex Jones to realize this is not right.
Yea whoever thinks this is “fair and just” is out of their mind.
There’s no such thing as freedom of speech anymore unfortunately
Of course it was. If you saw much of this trial, especially at the beginning, you would be shocked that this is going on in the United States. Remember, Alex Jones was NEVER found to have defamed anyone. He never had a trial on defamation.
If Alex were a Marxist democrat none of this would have come to trial.
Funny. This was the exact same argument and wording in defense of Tucker Carlson… the defense that his program is an opinion show.
Also, how does that OAN/Maddow situation relate to (let alone contradict) Alex Jones having to pay an exorbitant amount for intentionally spreading slander and misinformation about a mass shooting?
This reminds me of previous high-profile cases. The only way to beat someone like that is to rack up the costs to the point that he will be broke until the end of time.
Exactly, since he doesn't seem to show any remorse or empathy, you hit him where it hurts, the wallet.
…or until he files for bankruptcy.
Lol you do know he technically isn't required to pay them..... lol go look up and see if anyone has every paid up
@@StyvynWayne just wanted to say that wanne bet that what he gone do
@@DogGoneDayz not how that works. Lol he isn't required to pay them a dime
I don't think any of those parents really care about or want the money.
I'm sure they would all rather trade it to have their children back.
I'm sure they would rather have been able to mourn their loss without such despicable harassment from deplorable excuses for humans.
of course they want the money. just because youd rather have thing over the other doesnt mean you dont want it still. this world revolves around money, whether you like that statement or not
@@flipf615 man you are soooo edgy. like how did you get to be so deep and cool?
He isn’t wrong.
Nah, they want it or they wouldnt be there
@@johnboyd1285 bingo your 💯 % correct they want that money
No way you made a Hook pun in the title 💀💀
seriously lol
If this sets a path for holding media people financially responsible for lies, the media at large had better be accurate and not wrong as they have been in the past. Misinformation could cost $$.
Hhhhmmmmmm
I really hope so.
That will be difficult. He only lost this hard because he is a total nutcase.
Even if he tried to stall for as much as he could by not providing documents and not appearing at summons, he could have delayed even further have he gone trough the trial and the appeals.
A capable person in his place could have properly navigated the system, turning a loss into a merely nuisance with symbolic sum to pay.
@@marcelo55869 he didn't lose just because he is a lunatic. He lost because he whipped up other lunatics.
No more "FAKE NEWS"?? That would be a dream come true!
Good. He should have to pay more. He has said some terrible, heinous and awful things in his career.
He lives in America. Freedom to say whatever you want.
@@michaelharrington75 not slander bud. Also definitely not harassment.
@@RetroDsk The majority of mainstream media talking heads slander and harass people on a daily basis.
@@michaelharrington75 Doesn't make it right, or covered by the constitution for that matter.
It’s actually absurd , I would have already left the USA if I was Alex.
Why don't you go anyway ?
Byeeeeeee
@Leandro Molina Lol geography is hard for you huh
Actually the USA is more free than any western countries. He'll be destroyed.
@Stein Mauer correction, 90% of European countries are way better than the USA in almost all regards, speaking from experience.
I hope these people realize that they will not receive a dime.
@Stein Mauer They don't deserve anything. Someone hurting your feelings is not justification for money.
@Stein Mauer in this case it is
@Espeoni yeah it is. Alex Jones took It WAY to far. Like I would normally agree with you but what he did was straight slander. He needs to be punished
@@websterthomas2012 ah yes, 1 billion dollars!
@Espeoni maybe he shouldn't have basically raised a cult and completely slandered innocent people for no good reason. He used Social media to bully victim's. He deserves no mercy.
Jones had multiple chances to reduce the damage and stay low but kept making the worst choice possible every time.
Because he just doesn't care.
Exactly this. It's like he wanted to be sued. He kept pushing when he had every chance to turn back.
@@swkelley he’s an AH😅
Imagine being held responsible for an event you didn't cause, but simply because you talked about it.........
@@KSealedvsK Imagine being a putz... oh wait its not hard for you. GFY sunshine
To all the people saying "This is over stuff Alex Jones said 10 years ago and then apologized for": No it isn't. The statute of limitations on defamation is one year. The lawsuits were all filed in response to things said in 2017, particularly the video "Sandy Hook Vampires", which names parents by name. That's *five years* after the shooting, and his knuckle dragging minions had been harassing the parents the whole time. He only "apologized" after the lawsuits were filed.
Thank you for the info
Do you have any evidence the people harassing them were sent by Alex Jones?
Thank you. This needs to be said.
So why isn’t Hunter Biden in court then?
In his recent interview with Andrew Callaghan it clearly shows Alex doesn't care about the verdict and kept continueing.
I bet all these parents are getting hit with a weird mix of emotions here. They have all the money in the world but they’re without their baby. Very sad, honestly. Life would mean nothing without my kid
Wish they'd of had Jones in court for this so we could see his reaction
There is reaction he was in his "war room" live streaming begging for money from his cult terrorist followers
Probably busted out laughing, and laugh his way all the way out of the courthouse in full HD!
Probably filled his diaper when he heard that amount. 😆
@@Throughthelurkingglass with his money in hand which they aren’t gonna receive one iota of. Because this will backfire on them so bad he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
@@jaymorgan7728 no but I bet the demons who brought down tower 7 will once everybody starts waking up
It’s hard to believe this is even real
it's not.
It’s just an abstract number anyways theyll prob get nothing or settle out of court. Ladder being unlikely
Yes, it used to be in the former Soviet Union. Now it is here in the United States. That's a big clue as to the people that actually control OUR two political parties.
@@manicstatic370 lol nice cope. Court will liquidate those assets.
@@flyingdragoncar4975 lol doubt
God I wish there was a split screen with his reaction
GO TO HIS WEBSITE, HE IS LIVE RIGHT NOW TALKING ABOUT IT...
Should have been watching his show, he was airing it live and laughing about it like the joke it was. He new it was going to be a billion, already said it would be.
He wasn't in the courtroom.
@@Dr.Pepper001 We was live on air playing the verdict.
@@MrMustard2U Is your shift-key stuck?
Anything they do to Alex jones, they will do to other personalities within 2-5 years.
Silence em right?
I mean if those other personalities decide to devote months of programming into spreading lies about the next mass shooting, invalidate the pain and grief of the survivors’ families, and then continuously obstruct justice and encumber the discovery procedure, then sure! Let’s not forget that Alex Jones’ defense was so awful, negligent, and obstructive that the court moved DIRECTLY TO DAMAGES
Good, can't come soon enough.
Based.
Who is "They" exactly?
ok… and where is this “$965 million dollars” coming from? definitely not Alex Jones 💀 it’s a civil lawsuit it won’t even be legally enforced lol
Whatever helps you sleep at night for daddy Heart Attack
And they think shutting infowars down will help? The only way he'll have a good enough income to pay the families any money at all, is if RUclips reinstates infowars & monetises the channel. The fact that they want to destroy his only chance of making money while expecting nearly 1 billion from him is insane & hysterical.
It comes from basic addition of the compensatory damages rewarded to each plaintiff
Alex Jones in the hallway- “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!”
Plaintiffs are already ahead of him on that (per NPR) and have already served notice that they intend to pursue the damages in bankruptcy court as primary debtors and as such would be first in line as the court liquidated his assets to pay the debt. He is only allowed to keep a minimum amount of assets such as one "servicable" car and a house that will meet his family's BASIC needs, etc. He's not going to get out from under this by weaseling the courts
@@TonyM1961 Good!!
@@TonyM1961 but after bankruptcy all his debt will be pardoned?
@@CrystaliaV Depends on what kinds of debt he owes. Some kinds are debt are forgivable in bankruptcy and some are not. I am not familiar with Connecticut law, so please don't quote me as some kind of end all, be all expert. In general though, one example of a forgivable debt would be credit card debt, while, for instance, student loans are not. However, in most states (every one that I have read on anyway), court costs, attorney fees and financial penalties are not forgivable so yes, he most likely will have to pay the awards as directed by the court. He does have the right to appeal today's decision, but (in my opinion) that would be a waste of money since he's highly unlikely to succeed. However, he MAY decide that it's worth it if all he is seeking to do is to delay, delay delay.
@@TonyM1961 since this is a civil thing, he can’t declare bankruptcy on this since it was by his own doing. This isn’t a business
That phone call to Joe Rogan after the verdict was probably hilarious lmfao
Fox calling their lawyers would be even more hilarious.
Hopefully Rogan is soon. He's not quite as bad but he will devolve into much the same.
@@xaviermagnate Rogan says Jones is his brother. Maybe he'll help a brother out?
@@xaviermagnate That's the dumbest thing I've read all day.
@@xaviermagnate did Rogan say that SH was a hoax?
I don’t understand the unrealistic numbers. This will clearly never be paid.
Hey him going broke is fine by me
@@atrailmckinley4786 Yes, how dare he speak words?
*line moves closer to you*
Until the same thing happens to you when you talk out of line in 10 years
then he'll have to go to prison for failing to comply with a court order
He will pay!!!
This is ridiculous. One billion dollars?!
Yes, about one thousand lifetimes of income for Alex Jones, Just divide One billion by one million a year, it comes out to 1,000 years. And they aren't done. And, to add some whip cream and a cherry on top - Alex Jones never had a trial where he was found by a Judge or a Jury that he defamed anyone, especially the plaintiffs in that trial.
26 families harassed and threatened daily
he made that much in profits so its only fair he use those profits because many people had to move and hide their location bc people tried to harm them.
he continued despite knowing that too
@@lyndseyfekete102 are you this passionate about the politicians whom you support that fund wars and murder people daily?
Pretty sure these people will never see a dime.
i hope not
sounds like a cope mechanism
What else can you say lol
Hope so
Honestly I hope not.
Alex is crazy but this is just ridiculous
This is a prime example of you have free speech but you aren’t immune to consequences 😅
Bingo 🎯
Adam Schiff next?
No. Free speech only applies to Govt. not able to retaliate against you. This was a private case.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy….not!
*the 8th Amendment steps into the court*
Alex jones got saved they will never get a dime
They’re not gonna get anything
Speech is free, just like walking down the street is free, but if you injure someone and cause them loss either way you pay for it 🤷
you take the word "injure someone" out of context later everyone will do it as your comment has already "injured me" enough to loose sleep at night
Ridiculous
He owes them nothing
@@europa wrong he owes them about a billion. Hahahhahahaha loser

Ahhh yes jail for speech, what a wonderful world your painting....
@@burnsmcgee4694 According to your logic, it's okay to send death threats to you for the next 10 years.
He has committed no crime, thus they cannot arrest him.
@@RUclips_Enjoyerlol You're just a disgusting as him.
I know how you feel man Alex Jones should be in prison for the rest of his life we also will happen in Sandy Hook and it's was no witch Hunt I saw the news about it and this is why gun should never fall into evil hands ever and that's also why we need background checks because to me it's like looking at the news about Virginia tech all over again.
Just make it a bajillion dollars... What a joke. For what? Your feelings were hurt? Makes no sense.
They act like he was the killer, sound like he committed manslaughter
He shouldn't talk about dead children that way and cause emotional distress to parents who are in the wake of a loss. He made millions and millions of dollars off of the slander It's only fair they get paid something for their emotional distress, To say how much that's not my job but I do believe they are entitled to something.
The Enquirer made a lot of money, too.
Ah so the 6,000 dollars the pharma companies had to pay out to each victim of the opioid crisis was more than enough hUh? Shits an obvious attempt to silence the man and anyone else with dissenting opinions.
lol
You just said he only made millions so why is he paying billions ?
I said millions and millions I also said they're entitled to "something" I never said he deserves to pay a billion dollars.
I support him in alot of things but, right is right and wrong is wrong. My opinion is that it's wrong to slander peoples dead children...also your a year behind this is old news
Let this be a lesson to all of those who follow Alex Jones........words matter. Facts matter. I hope he goes bankrupt and this destroys his life in every single way possible.
Facts were what he was trying to find out.
Ohhh we understand what the lesson is.
Might as well awarded a gadjillion dollars.
Please don’t tell me you used an actual hook pun in the title. That feels wrong .

Good
@@fucker661 Only if he personally owns the assets.
its about pain or the money?!?
These people are just happy and crying because the judge is ruling them millions of dollars!! Not because “justice” is being served.. there is no justification in making someone pay a billion dollars because “he said something that hurt my feelings!”
The sad thing is that they are taking away our constitutional right to free speech in a democratic society. Maybe no one has told you this, but AJ is a NWO gatekeeper and actor, and he's part of the show. Everyone in that courtroom is an actor except maybe the judge. It's not about the money. The money just sets a precedent for those who go against the narrative.
He cause these victims untold pain and horror with his disinformation and lies. GFYSASAP
For damages this large there should be prison time too.
For the judge and prosecution that is.
This is a civil suit. He’ll go to prison when he tries to hide income or assets. Just keep watching!!
@@bobstuckrath1805 capital punishment is never the answer in a civilised society.

He can simply sell his company (which is worth more than a billion at this point) to pay it off. Then he can continue working there with a nice salary+ bonus. Jones will not go broke like you think...

Good! It’s not about the money. It’s about holding him accountable. It doesn’t matter how much money they are getting, it won’t bring back their loved one.
How is this possible? Walgreens and Walmart only paid a few million dollars for the opioid pandemic they caused
The parents already got $75 million from Remington. I guess that wasn’t enough. Maybe another billion will make them feel better.
These amounts are ridiculous.

They're meant to be punitive. That's the point.
The amount of stupidity in these comments is what is ridiculous. 🤷💯🤢
@@abebuckingham8198 yea that wasn’t the point in this case. The point was to bankrupt him into oblivion.
It's a very concerning precedent
The hotel collapse last year where 92 people died only was a 1 bil settlement. He wont be able to pay 1% of that. He will declare bankruptcy and be right back
yeah. But they can take literally everything he owns and all his money before that happens.
He have to pay up before bankruptcy he has money.
That was all the insurance companies paying out max limits.
But it was the condo owners themselves that were the main cause of the collapse (failure to maintain their building properly over the decades).
Well that’s your amerikkka
If you think bankruptcy is a good outcome for Alex I’m not sure what to say. That involves losing a LOT of money.
This is gonna back fire on them.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
@Tiff Bannen ok tiff
@Tiff Bannen if it had any chance of backfiring, the plaintiff's lawyer and the judge stoked it pretty hard. They were blatantly biased and then gave out this unnecessarily absurd fine. This is way above the amount that would've mattered. They could probably divide it by ten and get the same result compensation wise.
It already has. He’s got billions of viewership now. He’s gotten bigger than woke broke Disney. Buddy cops say everywhere they hear people talking about his show and how Alex has been right all along and not a conspiracy nut like the media always said.
It could because coming onto money like that can ruin people. It’s like winning the lottery.
I want to see the dislike analytics on all the Alex Jones court case.

Also in he isn’t there because it is completely irrelevant . It’s been well known for years that he has his money hidden in offshore bank accounts.

The amount of NPCs in the comments here is crazy💀
Alex Jones brought this all on himself.
He could have fought and litigated this in court for years if he had shut up for once in his life and listened to his lawyers, but he refused to cooperate with discovery so the judge defaulted in favor of the plaintiffs. He showed no remorse in the penalty phase for making tens of millions of dollars on the suffering and continued harassment of people who's loved ones had been brutally murdered, and openly mocked them in front of the jury. And because he refused to take part in the actual litigation, he left himself next to no room to appeal his case.
He is now reaping what he has sowed.
If anybody feels sympathy for the man, go ahead and give him more of your money. Im sure it wont be tantamount to burning it.
It wont when he overturns this on appeal.

How does someone's opinion on a situation cause them to pay $1 billion in damages? Did he kill the kids, did he send these people to kill the kids? I really don't understand
Pretty simple actually. Alex Jones lied about murdered children and their parents, for the sole purpose of making himself rich. Now he will have to pay for those lies. What is not to understand?
Just came here to say to Alex: “HA HA!”
Words matter and misinformation hurts those who have already endured enough!
Best comment!
Freedom of speech and opinion isn’t a right anymore when you have a world of sensitive people
👎🏿
@@olorinmartinez wow …. 👍
@@alexmedero828: Good. Freedom of speech is overrated by far-right creeps like you. Keep on crying. 😄 Anyway, weak-minded people like you barely have opinions - you're told what to think by cretins like Jones. 🤣
I love it! It's about time people who spread erroneous BS are held accountable. Thank you American justice system, you finally got one correct!!!
What about Joe Biden n hunter ? They spread erroneous lies
Is Rachel Madow next?
@@jhenry7861 Don't forget the WHOLE staff on CNN n MSNBC,thats why nobody watches them anymore
@@jhenry7861 I'd say negative on Ms. Madow. Unfortunately for you and your kind, her opinions are backed by facts and evidence unlike Jones. Up next, the Mango Mussolini!
@@JCLADOG my kind? What do you mean by my kind? I am a trans species wolf dog and your words inflict harm towards me. Speciephobe
Judge started the in court proceedings after determining guilt. Thats called a mock trial. Where did they get the authority to demand people taker part in Mock trials. This is bizarre
All these people look like they’re acting
Bone broth is on sale right now. Get it. Only $599,00
Maybe now Alex Jones will understand that the Constitution does indeed guarantee the right to free speech, but it does not allow him to defame and victimize others.
Suing someone for freedom of speech that's hilarious 🤣🤣 anyone can say whatever they want. Just a bunch of cry babies.
Robbie Parker made sure not to laugh this time
Yes 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 I watched that CNN interview where he literally is happy
They should get every penny leaving him penniless.
Jones' net worth is around $250 Million, they just won around $1 Billion, but after Alex Jones files for bankruptcy they'll get exactly ZERO.
@Kenosha “3pt shoota” cause he had an opinion
Nope. He told dangerous lies. Gfy
@@I-dont-reply cause he told lies multiple times and defamed people who lost their kids
@@rickfrenzy9556 and? No one died, no one lost their assets. They can each get some money for the harassment caused and maybe supplementation if they lost their jobs. But thats noting a quarter mill at best wouldn't cover. Anyways f these parents they were in it for the $ nothing else
The amount might be big but it is not going to bring back those poor, innocent children whose passing was mocked by this fool.
My heart goes out to all the families of Sandy Hook elementary.
He did not kill anyone ..
Are you kidding, a billion dollars for a guy sayig for about 1 minute 45 seconds that a shooting was a conspirayc theory - are you totally brainwashed, like the kind of people who think freedom of speech is fascist r people who profess to love illegals but deport them from Marthas Vineyard? All this shows is that we can have no faith in the justice system any more.
Robbie Parker thinks it's funny.
@@brian782 I never said he did.
He didn't mock anyone.
Justice is dead
Does this mean I can sue CNN for $100 trillion? You hurt my feelings money; I sue you for trillion dollars.
Why such an absurd number? Why not make it reasonable so he can actually pay it in his lifetime and the families see some money?
Because he deserves much worse.
After this ruling, Kyler Rittenhouse needs to sue any media and any high profile celebrity that still calls him a murderer
Watch his trial be treated alot differently.
kylie rittenhouse is a murderer
Didnt he kill someone??
Defamation is very hard to prove. You have to go out of your way to represent lies as the truth. It's not enough to be confused and correct yourself or to state an opinion. The MSM train their staff to avoid defamation because they've all been sued and lost before. Jones just didn't take that seriously and now he's being forced to.
I don’t think Rittenhouse met the standards for defamation. It was getting quite close tho.
“I’m never going to financially recover from this”
I feel for you, that must be tough....
Lol!! I remember him saying that. What was it about tho.. It wasn't sandy.. Was it?
@@robbielove5271 Another brilliant comment - amazing - never ending nonsense.
@@robbielove5271 LOL it was a scene from Tiger King on Netflix
@@robbielove5271 lol what
I wonder how many times these parents wished Jones was telling the truth, and that their loves ones, never truly died on that tragic day. It wasn't enough that they lost their childrens, but also had to endure for years, the torments of being called "liars" and others form of harassment from strangers that more likely have no childrens or never lost one (No loving parents want to see their kids leave this world first) because some selfish "profit-taker" is making money from their misery. I don't see that money as a "compensation" to them, since life can't be bought back. I instead see it as a "Nail" on Jones's foot for stepping where he shouldn't have.
I think you mean “fateful”, there was nothing faithful about that day.
Also "never" instead of "mever"...and "loves ones" instead of "son" (to be more specific). Thanks, I am just glad Alex Jones got hit where it hurts him the most, and by a lot. My question to him now is... *Was it worth it?* I hope he is paying more than he made those past 10 years selling products he himself probably doesn't use.
@Nadav Guy *"Fateful"* depends on how it is used. I am sure some readers understand that it has a negative meaning in this case, but I will use *"tragic"* instead to better communicate with everyone.
@Nadav Guy 🤔🤔.. I don't get it..😑
Not to mention they all moved into the school district shortly before the Sandy Hoax
1 BILLION for defamation? I understand compensation but how did they get 1 BILLION as a figure?
It’s less of a payout and more of a very well deserved punishment
@@zerodraw13 for saying something 8 years ago and apologized for 4 years ago? Seems a bit steep.
Because he says truth. No more freedoms for any American.. He was outspoken about 9/11. His doc is soo good. There’s a third tower that fell and guess what -a plane didn’t hit it and it fell down.
@@JazzyJay716 The lawsuit is over a video he made in 2017 called "Vampires of Sandy Hook" - 5 *years* after the shooting. He only "apologized" after the lawsuits were filed.
@@JazzyJay716 not 8 years ago, for 8 years straight. Big difference. And apologizing because your sorry for what was done, vs being sorry that your about to lose more money than you’ve ever expected to see in your life, also, very different.
For a cowardly attack on grieving mothers and fathers after they lost their children for profit, this is justice
$1 billion is not justice. It is maximum revenge and greed! Could have understood $1million per victim. $1 billion doesn't make any sense. Even murderers have to pay much less.
@@jimj2683 The point is to bankrupt this corrupt man so that his fascist "media" company built on pain and lies dissolves.
how is this justice, having to pay people a billion a dollars for talking about conspiracy theories is laughable, the money doesnt exist as alex jones doesnt even have 10 million so why not make it 200 billion, he would have had to pay less if he had committed the mass shooting himself
Robbie Parker thinks it's funny.
Definitely Russian bot
Why didnt they just sue the sandy hook shooter for damages? This just seems like extra steps
Makes absolutely no sense. How can there not be a cap on the amount you owe in damages? The same way there's a cap on how long you'll serve for certain crimes.
Will they actually see any of that money I doubt it
His assets will be frozen and sold. These families now own Infowars
Oh, they will see some of it. It will be a fraction of the initial award, and it will take 5-10 years, but they get a share.
I’m sure Alex will make more cheap conspiracy-filled fear-mongering shows and for some reason the radical right will watch it but at least the victims will get paid that way.
Take those fools for all they got! May the victims rest in peace and may these families be able to move forward in peace !
Not even close They won’t get even a small fraction of that Alex will slime ball his way out of it some how and become bigger and richer than ever awaiting the next tragedy to profit off of
@@johnboyd1285 Thank you for your donations over the years.
Obviously, he doesn't have $1B, but they should milk every penny he's got.
Can't wait to see what Kyle gets from the media
Kyle was able to go to trial, actually defend himself and was found not guilty. Alex Jones was found guilty by the judge without giving him the opportunity to prove otherwise.
Nothing as he should.
@@zsmom2473 He had every chance to build a defense, but he provably lied his way through every corner, so he got what was coming to him
@@silversheep7369 no not true at all, he was not allowed to defend himself. He was found guilty of lying without any due process. That’s why he calls it a kangaroo court.
@@zsmom2473 He defaulted... Please look that up before spreading more misinformation
They’re literally blaming him for the sandyhook deaths at this point
no for spreading misinformation and lies
@@strawbeary818 we live in America! Free speech used to be allowed. He had an opinion and talked about it with his viewers.
@@zsmom2473 i think there’s a difference between free speech and saying your opinion and spreading lies and misinformation
@@strawbeary818 He's allowed to have an opinion, even if it's wrong.
@@thelonghaul9902 so spreading misinformation and harassing is okay , okay good to know.
Alex may have to jack up the prices on his merch to cover this.
Force feed him his own bone broth we all know how much he loves it
@@Mrs.Self.Distruct - What’s wrong with bone broth?
nah, he has been lowering his prices to decrease his profits, cause the profits the only means they get paid, THEY GET absolutely nothing, maybe $25 a year if that. Remember Free Speech Systems already went through a Bankruptcy matter, all the creditors can get are 25% of the annual profits, and they have to be split up between all creditors and liabilities. They get nothing. Alex JONES gets the last laugh, cause thanks to the Bankruptcy Ruling, Free Speech gets to stay open, if they shut down, they get nothing. All that happens is the COURT now places a Judgement or Lien against the company. If and when it closes, the creditors get their share of the profits/royalties from the closing or the sale of the company. ALEX JONEs will keep the doors open, take his paycheck each year, and invest as much of the excessive profits back into the company.
@@StyvynWayne you've not seen him drink his own product while looking absolutely disgusted I take it.
Bet he’ll make more than BROS by selling his DVDs and distributing truth.
What about all of the politicians and news reporters claiming there were weapons of mass destruction in the middle east?
Which lead to millions of deaths in the middle east over the past two decades, which lead to terrorist attacks in the West and the death of Westerners?
I'm a Westerner, I hate terrorism but you can see what I'm saying and where I'm going with this.
We speak, there's a reaction.
Where do you draw the line with this?
What about when a weather forecast says it's going to be a sunny day tomorrow, someone watches this forecast and plans a picnic the following day.
Scenario - it rains, that someone who watched the previous days weather forecast is driving to the picnic area, skid pans on a puddle on the road and has a head on collision with another vehicle, wipes out several people.
Who's liable? The news station made a profit from that forecast, the news reporter got paid, the information provided was incorrect, people died due to an individual getting behind the wheel based of false information.
We speak, there's a reaction.
Alex Jones's words didn't cause any death to the Sandy Hook's victims families, he wasn't the only individual online that was saying something similar to what he was saying regarding the shooting.
He didn't order attacks on anyone, he was simply giving his opinion and encouraging curiosity.
Not defemation as the news was just reporting information that they got from Bush's administration. The families of soldiers can't sue the governement as the soldiers signed a contract that pretty much states that the government can deploy them any where in the world for any reason even if it's a complete lie.
