The $1.5 BILLION DOLLAR JUDGEMENT against Alex Jones MUST be greatly reduced on appeal to restore faith in the US Justice System.

[MarathonMike]

Of all the way over-the-top illogical emotional jury awards, the Alex Jones $1.5 Billion dollar award is the most egregious and ridiculous. It is not the role of a US Court or jury to indulge their personal emotions and hatred. There is no reality in which the Sandy Hook victim's families deserve a monetary award anywhere near this and Alex Jones does not deserved to be bankrupted by a vengeful hateful court. Do they deserve SOME compensation for their suffering? Sure. Give them a million each and call it a day, but 1500 times that amount is pure insanity and erodes trust and faith in our US Justice System.

I heard that The Onion bought his website.

The Onion buys Alex Jones's Infowars — and that's not a joke​

MSN

• The Onion, the satirical news site, bought Alex Jones's Infowars at an auction.
• Jones had been found liable for defaming the Sandy Hook families and ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion.
• Under The Onion, the revamped Infowars will feature ads from Everytown for Gun Safety.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's Infowars has a new home — and it's not the one he wanted.


The Onion, the satirical publication, announced on Thursday that it had purchased the disgraced far-right commentator's company at auction. The terms of the sale weren't disclosed.

Sandy Hook was an Obama inside job..

Take a few zeroes off and he still doesn't have it, and never will. But the verdict may be overturned on appeal. And then the lawyers can argue again at hourly rates about how to repair the damage to his life.

Who knew that making your living attacking the victims and their families of a mass shooting for decades could go wrong?

That is not a sane statement. Seek help.

at hourly rates about how to repair the damage to his life.

He was the one who committed slander and libel for YEARS.

Irrelevant. Insane jury awards need to be stopped with judicial reform. Hopefully Trump will address that.

The only thing that is relevant. The jury found he had systematically committed libel and slander for years against them to financial further himself.

A ridiculous judgement based on emotion and hate. The Sandy Hook parents deserved some compensation for mental duress but giving them over $50 million EACH is like I said, insane.

Your opinion without merit or support

Your opinion without merit or support. You should have called his attorney to give him your sage advice.

Your opinion has no more or less merit than mine. I guess Trump deserve a billion dollars for his suffering at the result of the demonization and contributing to his near assassination by Morning Joe, Joy Reed, The View, etc.

My opinion is based on the fact he lost, and badly.

If Trump wins a court case my opinion will partially be based on that.

I have assured you repeatedly the whole thing is a FALSE FLAG to deter other possible whistleblowers from "spilling the beans "
100% Theatre for Gullibles .

Look up the Court Case . Too ridiculous for words procedurally .

I wonder if the CIA have retired Alex , or will they bring him back in some capacity in a couple of years , say?

Anyone can lose a case. Not everyone has a $1.5 BILLION DOLLAR judgement dropped on them. You are playing dodge ball because you know I'm right.

I'm a retired attorney, and I was appalled when I first learned how badly the American tort law system sucks, and my revulsion has only increased over the years (I graduated in 1982).

Damage awards have no rational connection to the actual damages suffered by the plaintiffs, and punitive damages are often (usually) outrageous.

Many of the highly publicized cases involve situations where the plaintiff suffered no damages at all, like the [vulgar word for vagina] who sued Trump for slander, or the Georgia Patriots who claim to have been defamed by Rudy Giugliani.

This is why I take no pride in identifying myself as an attorney (retired).

Indeed the case must be truly aggregious. If i were one of the parents I would have shot him in the face.
