Alex Jones ordered to pay $45.2M to parents of Sandy Hook victim

stop pretending that he killed the children and that lying actually caused millions in damages. Lanza is the one responsible but since the greedy attorneys cannot sue him, they look to someone else.

 

glad to hear it, is sick to attack the parents of children killed by school shooters like that

 

Wow. So he is essentially paying $50M to two families and there are potentially up to 24 more families that could sue.

 

Okay so I'm no lawyer and I don't even pretend to be one but can someone explain to me what a default judgment is?

Will they actually get the money? I'm sure if they do that will ease their pain..... Money has a way of doing things like that

 

slander laws would mean nothing to the rich if the penalty was not high enough

 

He's just defending Jones and making excuses for exploiting dead children and their families.

 

He lied about the shooting. How did he actually hurt the reputation of the plaintiffs? Did anyone believe him? did he actually kill their children? Its like you want to make a holocaust denier responsible for 6 million deaths

 

Lanza cannot be sued. He's dead, so is his mother. No one believed the BS that Alex Jones spewed. The reputations of those who lost children to the mass murderer were not harmed or lessened because Jones lied and claimed the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. So what real damages did Jones impose on people who had their beloved children murdered? seriously

 

No one is defending jones. You are not being truthful about what is going on here. If I say it is idiotic for that lady basketball player to get nine years-that IS NOT THE SAME as excusing her crime or defending what she did. If I say a rapist should not be burned alive at the stake -I am not defending rape. Where Have I defended Jones?

 

do you know what he actually said about them personally?

 

"Lawyers for Alex Jones turned over evidence that contradicted his testimony"

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/03/alex-jones-trial-defamation-sandy-hook/

"After years of telling his followers the Sandy Hook school shooting was staged, Jones admitted on the stand that the massacre was real. He is being sued in Austin by parents of one of the shooting’s victims."

 

Some people's agenda will not allow them to grasp the difference there

 

I'm just wondering if the judgment is enforceable.

 

it is akin to say giving Lanza a 300 year jail sentence

 

So they will never be broke as long as Jones owes them millions of dollars?

Technically worth less than the price of a cup of coffee at McDonald's after the senior discount.

 

Well, if you are a jehovah witness believer, then its only 144k going to heaven, and no one else.

If you are a Christian, then it is based on your personal belief that Christ is your savior or not, regardless of politics, religious affirmation or profession of faith, etc.

And then the Bible in Matthiew and other verses in which they will have to give account of their actions and may be cast out because the Lord will say, "I never knew you."

 

And yet, he is filing for bankruptcy. Was the bankruptcy filing a tactic on his part? If it is, then you may need to add bankruptcy fraud to his other alleged crimes of perjury and anything to do with the insurrection on January 6th.

 

Really? Ever heard of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation lawsuit trial? Amber Heard was just "saying words too" right?

The fact of the matter is if you tell a lie often enough, have the influence, like his radio show and his website Infowars, to say the children never died, Sandy Hook never happened, the parents are crisis actors for the government and so forth, and also knowing how your fans will react, ignoring the letters from attorneys to stop, etc, what do you think should happen? Nothing?

The truth is, none of this would have happened if he stopped citing the outrageous lies he knew were lies once he got the letter from the family attorneys to cease and desist. But he didn't. BTW, his own text messages confirmed that in the lawsuit knew he was lying, which is why the jury awarded what it did.

 

They received numerous death threats alleging they and their children were all actors hired by the extremist left wing to take away their guns. Imagine losing your child and receiving threats accusing you of faking all of it.

 

Let me explain, if you and another party are involved in a lawsuit, and the other party fails to show up, timely respond or present its evidence, your attorney can file a motion for a default judgment. A default judgment is a judgment by the court that will grant the request for damages by the other party. This is routinely done in lawsuits but rarely granted. This is a legally enforceable judgment if granted by the judge and the respondent still has options depending on facts and circumstances.

So they obtained a default judgment. Is he actually going to be forced to pay?

 

The problem is you are comparing apples and oranges here. This is not about freedom of speech. This is a court of law where defamation can be a legal consequence.

let me put it into perspective, my freedom of speech can call you whatever I want to whomever I want. However, if I use my freedom of speech to say that because I belied you are xxxxxxxx, businesses, churches, people, etc should avoid you at all cost, never sell you anything, not even a stick of chewing gum, and cause harm to your financial status, then you may have the legal evidence to file a defamation lawsuit.

See the difference here?

 

That would depend on Jones's Bankruptcy situation and the other lawsuits. Right now it is enforceable. He can appeal, but civil lawsuits appeal, especially in Texas, rarely, very rarely, get overturned. They might lower the punitive damages based on a technicality, but that's it.

If he doesn't appeal, his lawyers and their lawyers will get together on some sort of payment plan.

 

The mother of a 6-year-old victim came forward to explain that as a result of Alex Jones' lies - that she was an actress hired by Obama to fake the Sandy Hook massacre - she had to move a dozen times because she was being chased by the brilliant Info Wars listeners who were sending her death threats.

Are you perfectly comfortable with that?

 

They are going to crucify him in Connecticut.

When it comes to him hiding his money, in this case justice delayed is not justice denied. From what I understand, he can only hide his money so long. Eventually they will get all of it and he will be left penniless.
