Alex Jones Found Liable for Damages in Defamation Cases
Alex Jones, who claimed the Sandy Hook shooting was a “giant hoax,” was found liable for damages in lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the shooting.
A reader, apparently someone from abroad, asks: I don’t understand why he would say that was a hoax. What was his rationale? I mean a mentally insane young man did something unspeakable. I don’t understand why someone would say that it was a hoax.
Believe it or not, in the United States, there are many millions of mentally defective people who firmly believe that our government is actively trying to enslave us, removing our rights, destroying our traditions, our moral norms, and above all, nullifying our Constitution. Alex Jones capitalizes (soon to be past tense, capitalized) on them, feeding them lies that fit into that delusion, and then selling them overpriced products designed to protect them from these imaginary government attacks.
Among these lies is that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School never took place; it was hoax designed to increase public support for gun control, which, if implemented, would establish boundaries on our Second Amendment.
This was a severe miscalculation on the conman’s part, which, it appears, will drive him into bankruptcy.
