No one. You can't see, feel, hear or touch it, just take someone's word that it happened. Most of all, it is the NATURE of emotions that they be occasionally harmed because that is how our emotions are strengthened and heal.

4 million dollars can no more "heal" someone's emotional slight than a brand new Rolls Royce Silver Shadow can. Will that make up for the death of their kids gunned downed by a Connecticut school who failed to take proper precautions to safeguard the kids? How much has the school been fined?

Reminds me of all the idiots who donated to BLM-- -- it didn't do SQUAT to change a single thing about police or race relations, in fact, it just got a lot more people killed by the fragrant rise in CRIME, but now a handful of BLM execs are now living high on the hog in million dollars mansions.

But as w/all crime, the monetary punishment should work as a great deterrent to future attempts of the same on others.

You're a "Law & Order" guy, aren't you?

You should be rejoicing over this verdict.

Cons are all about "Law and Order", except of course when they are not.....especially when it invloves one of their own.

InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was ordered by a Texas jury to pay $4 million in compensatory damages for defaming Sandy Hook parents Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin. The jury in the case was tasked on Thursday with determining compensatory damages for the direct harm the family suffered and awarded a little more than $4 million.

On Friday, the jury will discuss the amount of punitive damages, which is designed to punish Jones to prevent further harm.

That's one to go on the list. What's does the mother think of the media in general? After the initial report, what was the time span involved in not naming the victims?

 

[badger2]

The time span in not naming the victims is very important. The digestion of the news in the collective American unconscious is one reason. Not knowing the origin of an invading communist virus is another example of this promiscuous media machine.

 

[beagle9]

What is he then?

And why is his audience chuck-full to the brim w/self-proclaimed conservatives?

He's an independent, but says enough stuff that is agreeable to a wide range of audiences. You MAD.... ? ROTFLMBO.

So…

Enlighten us

just QUIT

It’s not.

 

[Oddball]

Of course he is - your typical dishonest conservative propagating misinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies.

The First Amendment protects you from being jailed for what you say.
It does not say there can be no consequences for what you say

Jones is facing the consequences for profiting off of inflicting pain on others

Jones should appeal.

Oh look no substance insult guy showed up…

Now go read your vapid, idiotic post to which I responded.

 

[rightwinger]

Jones should appeal.

I am sure he will file endless appeals and ultimately refuse to pay

It’s not Jones’s fault their kid got killed. I think he should appeal.

It's been widely reported that he was making upwards of 800K/day peddling that smut, that's a lot of coins, and there ain't no leftwingers or Democrats listing to him.

So what does that tell you?

Wrong. It was reported that he made almost 800,000 ONE DAY. He even stated, under oath, that was not NEARLY the norm. He said that day was a one-time number.

But don't let facts get in your way.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

He even stated, under oath, that was not NEARLY the norm. He

Um... you do realize he was caught lying under oath several times, right?

 

[meaner gene]

Um... you do realize he was caught lying under oath several times, right?

The strange thing is that perjury under a common law principle of double jeopardy is something that can be pursued criminally but not civilly.

As I was not there, I cannot answer that question. 26-People, students and teachers were mrudered. Notification is done the authorities. Alex Jones grifted off the shilt. The parents of victims are involved in the lawsuit, this is just one Woman.

Even better, his ex-wife is going spill what she knows as well, not to the Sandy Hook Parents, but 01-6 Committee. That Sack-O-Shit was/is making anywere between $700,000.00 and $800,000.00 a week off his lies and distortions.

Alex Jones Hit With $45,000,000.00 In Ruling Damages For Sandy Hook Lies.

Alex Jones Hit With $45 Million Ruling In Damages For Sandy Hook Lies

For years, Jones has used his platform on Infowars to spread horrific lies that the 2012 school shooting didn't happen. Now he'll have to pay up.

www.huffpost.com

A jury ruled Friday that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay $45.2 million to the parents of a child killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting after spending years spreading lies that the shooting didn’t happen.

Jurors deliberated for less than a day before coming to its first decision Thursday that Jones must pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages. On Friday, jurors again deliberated for less than a day when deciding further punitive damages against Jones of more than $40 million.

Along with the judgments, Jones will have to pay an additional $1.5 million in sanctions, Houston attorney Mark Bankston told HuffPost.

Jurors in the Austin, Texas, courtroom were tasked with finding an appropriate amount that Jones and Infowars must pay to a pair of Sandy Hook parents, whose 6-year-old boy, Jesse, died in the 2012 Connecticut shooting that left 20 kids and six adults dead.
