One Right Wing Nutjob Gets His Comeuppance

[Linus]

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ordered to pay $4.1M in Sandy Hook damages

• Jury in US state of Texas orders host of Infowars website to pay compensatory damages to parents of a child who was killed in 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"Jones' attorney asked the jury to limit damages to $8 — one dollar for each of the compensation charges they are considering — and Jones himself said any award over $2 million "would sink us."

It likely won't be the last judgment against Jones over his claims that the attack was staged in the interests of increasing gun controls. A Connecticut judge has ruled against him in a similar lawsuit brought by other victims' families and an FBI agent who worked on the case. .."

[FutureTheLeftWant]

I read they want to ask for more money when they found out he makes millions a day....

Agreed. He should make a net loss for his crimes.

 

[Linus]

It will be more, other cases will follow suit.

I don't think it's enough. I don't think it's anywhere near enough.

I think his sponsors should pay too.

I think each of these families should get a private island.

 

[HBS Guy]

This is just the start. Be LOTS more court cases yet. See Horseboy defending the idiot?

Somewhere around $200M wouldn't have been more realistic as a deterrent.

It beggars belief that anyone could defend a piece of shit like Jones, but then again, horseboy is always there to defend the lowest of the low.
