I think this whole fiasco has been a weird talking point because the guy sucks. And those poor parents, and my god those poor kids. And it makes you want to punish him.
It absolutely sucks that the families, many still grieving, are caught in the middle. The sooner the media and the law can close the book on this, the better.

These are the kinds of charges I can get behind, and these are the things i didn't know. I thought he was just running his mouth. Something I feel very strongly should always be protected.

Editing to add - I'll be looking into Wolfgang Halbig some more. Not following why Alex Jones is on trial instead of that guy. I assume he was as well at some point...

This is not a criminal trial for harassment, this is a civil trial for defamation, because Alex defamed those parents and their children for years on a nationally syndicated radio show.

Ehhhh still think defamation should involve an intentional malice or lie.

Anyways I like Legal Eagle for this kind of thing. Just watched his summary of the initial ruling. Basically Jones didn't comply with discovery several times hence a default judgement... a jury didn't determine anything except value of damages. He did this to himself.

I mean have YOU ever actually listened to Alex Jones? Beyond Youtube clips screaming about gay frogs? It can be easy to think he's just a crank if that's where you get your idea of him from. Dude's a malicious grifter.

And I go for the Knowledge Fight podcast. It covers all Alex's daily shows and debunks his nonsense. One of the hosts was at the deposition that came before this trial as an expert witness (or something) for the plaintiff's attorneys cause there probably isn't a sane person alive who's as much of an Alex Jones expert.

Hear hear. This should be in the Good news thread.

Not that it matters, but I wonder how he'll pay off his fine? I doubt he's worth that much, despite all of the crap he sells. I remember seeing a bit on him on John Oliver's show.

I think we found out he's worth about 150 million maybe more.
