I am a huge free speech rights fan. I believe in the 1st Amendment. I do not believe the 2nd Amendment is to blame for what happened at Sandy Hook. This particular award, for a civil judgment, seems grossly excessive (I think this is only five eight of the families who were plaintiffs)...
But Alex Jones did not have to attack families who children were murdered. Where Alex Jones went is a place I would never go. And as bad as this is financially for Alex Jones (he is almost certainly facing bankruptcy), it is nothing compared to what those families suffered when their children were murdered. So I am not surprised that he got wacked by a jury in a civil case not too far from where Sandy Hook occurred.
We could be onto something here. Could the United States Government sue Alex Jones for defamation and settle the national debt? How did nobody think of this before??? pic.twitter.com/Sms5gfYncQ

You'd see them cited all the time on Democratic Underground, Daily Kos, Think Progress, etc. Of course, the loons are now part of the MSM.

Vile/vulgar/lewd/lascivious speech is still...(Not excusing his asinine behavior, just worrying about that slippery slope).
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteWe need to remember the harm those families suffered was long before Alex Jones opened his mouth, but he still should never have gone there.
DeleteDoxing the families of the murder victims and encouraging people to harass them is beyond low. He’s vermin
