I hope the rest of them also sue Jones for his BS... not to mention any of the other people in other shootings that were also called 'crisis actors'

I think there was someone from Alberta in the Las Vegas shootings, and he received a number of calls harassing him and calling him an actor - it was on a TV news story but unfortunately, I don't recall the station or the person...

I would bet every single family in every mass shooting has received a call from some Jones crackpot saying it was fake.

Hopefully they force him into bankruptcy and hold the amount of damages in perpetuity until he pays off the actual amount, interest included

It’s pretty disappointing to hear that the punitive damages will end up being a small fraction of the 45 million judgement because of Texas law.

Pretty good interview with little tidbits with the lead counsel who took down Alex Jones.

Connecticut court rules over $1 billion to plantiffs in Alex Jones civil suit. Not sure if that state has any laws that limit the damages though

A billion is kind of silly, even though Jones promoted some very bad things. A billion is ridiculous.

It is the financial award equivalent to multiple life sentences and yet it still isn't enough to offset the pain he has caused the families of the victims of Sandy Hook.


#### him.

Will the plaintiffs actually see any of this money?

I hope Alex Jones is followed around for the rest of his life by a rabid pack of accountants and lawyers who collect every cent he ever sees.

No it takes away from the process when the damages awarded are high to the point of being silly. How a billion gets awarded from this not defensible, and its just going to lead to more litigation.

He could have shot those plaintiffs, and the damages would be far less. Its just taking away from the process of resolving issues, with stupid damage awards like that.

Get ready for the appeal. The appeal will succeed.

And I have a deep dislike for the Defendant. Still, silly result.

The guy was #### talking his judge and jury during the trail. They cannot shut him up, at all. He’s either a complete moron or thinks he’s untouchable. So they are making it impossible for him to make a lavish living spewing lies and hate to his followers. He can still do it, but I bet the drive dies if he isn’t making money.

I'd say losing your child to gun violence and then suffering even more because of the lies is "hell", but what do I know ...
