The jury gets mad, and doubles the damage request.

Its silly.
I think that worrying about the size of the damages is silly, myself. Alex Jones gets his comeuppance and you go... Tsk tsk children...

If Alex Jones was repentant, and admitted he used dead kids as a platform to make money, the damages might be "silly". Likely his demeanor and clear contempt for the proceedings against him prejudiced the jury against him and provoked the judgment, and that's no one's fault but his own.

No amount of money can make up for your child dying and for a loathsome human being using that death to attack you. There could be no award I'd find ridiculous because it was too high, I want Jones to live in penury and for his life to be miserable and harassed just like his victims until he dies a deserved death.

I'm happy about the verdict, Alex Jones is scum and a snake oil salesman who sells this BS to vulnerable, frightened and some pretty dumb people. He passes off fiction as fact and profits massively from it.

I doubt the families see much of this money to be honest, Infowars is bankrupt, Jones has probably hidden or laundered money off shore never to be seen again.

I expect because the lawyers aren't done collecting fees yet, that they will appeal based on the size of the award, and I'm sure the courts will probably look at the verdict itself and reduce the size of the awards.

Sadly Alex Jones will survive this and continue to sell his Bullsh$t, and his followers will rally around him and raise money for him that he'll promptly steal, and he'll write his next book. "The evil facist alien lead American Court System stole my money and it will steal yours too if you don't buy my book"

A billion in compensatory damages? Makes zero sense. Can see this going to appeals and having to redo the entire trial including liability.

It'd be more humorous if it wasn't so scary that people like you have been so deeply deceived. Hell, you should be pissed at people like Jones for wasting your time and making you look so foolish repeating this drivel. But instead I suppose you will just double down.

'Tis a sad sad world we have created.

Mother ####er...

Listen #######, I live down here and I'm still having students from that school in my classroom who need special accommodations just to sit in a classroom with others. They need the seat closest to an exit, and they often have severe panic attacks that mean they need to leave the room and meet with a counsellor.

You can #### off with any of that bull####. I don't care if this post gets me reprimanded, what you're saying is false and extremely hurtful to anyone close to these events. Shame on you. Get ####ed.

I assume children, parents and the recently deceased are going to become InfoWars shareholders.

The sad part remains that these people are going to likely see nearly none of this award, however, they do get to make the rest of Jones' life a living hell.

#### Jones.

Hope he spends the rest of life in poverty.

There's actually people that wouldn't believe Sandy Hook even if they witnessed the shooting with their own eyes, switching it from 'crisis actors' and a 'staged event' into a 'false flag' operation.

you can't fix stupid.
