Default Sandy Hook parents are going to sue Alex Jones into the 5th dimension

good on them, the guy is a scum bag opportunist who feeds on the misery of others.

Alex Jones has spent years claiming the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School ― where a shooter killed 20 small children and six adults ― was faked. He has claimed the parents of these dead children are liars and “crisis actors.”




Now, those parents are coming after him.


In a pair of lawsuits filed late Monday, the parents of two children who died in the December 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, say Jones’ repeated lies and conspiratorial ravings have led to death threats. The suits join at least two other recent cases accusing the Infowars host of defamation.

This conspiracy theory is truly one of the most despicable of all time.

This massacre and tragedy appall me to no end.

Little children. In a school. In the richest country in the world.

And this garbage human is trying to capitalize on their murders. This case won't bring the kids back or lessen the pain of their families, but maybe it shuts this nutjob up.

I hope they bleed him dry. It would be a nice bonus if his show was shut down as well, but sadly I doubt that'll happen.

Yeah, sadly this will only further entrench his followers in the conspiracy of gloabalist deep state bs....

Having said that, between this and his recent divorce, I hope he's cleaned out.

I wish there was a way to sue his sponsors (and all the other right wing sponsors too).

You'd see a pretty quick decline where the money dries up.

Probably, but it's not like they're going to get un-crazy any time soon.

I don't recall his divorce trial very well, but wasn't his argument when his wife claimed he was unhinged essentially that he's playing a character? I wonder if that comes up in this trial? Seems like exactly what you'd want to hear if you were building a case against him for the Sandy Hook parents.

I absolutely despise Alex Jones. Most of what he does is calculated to rile up the lunatics but he has to be a bit off kilter himself, just a disgusting and vile person.

Alex Jones wants to make money. He doesn't believe any of this nonsense, he just needs his listeners to believe he believes so they keep listening, and he keeps making money.

It's not dissimilar from Trump. "There is no such thing as bad attention", and if you're paying attention, I'm making money.

If you go after the money, these people quickly shrivel up.
