Everyone in Austin knows Jones owns numerous gay bars and clubs. He has plenty of money from his businesses and the infowar money. Definitely up there as one of the biggest POS to walk the earth. Alex Jones.
I thought the left hated capitalism.
Hey uh, quick question, why they need a BILLION dollars? Do they really need THAT much money.
Telling lies…then all msm anchors need to be put in jail.
The french company that funded Isis didn’t even get fined that much.
There’s enough evidence scattered across the web that proves that the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting was real, so many childhood photos and videos of the kids who died in the shooting, photos of the kids and teachers learning and teaching in the school between 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012, (that disproves the theory that the school closed in 2008.) footage of Adam Lanza (the shooter playing Dance Dance Revolution in the Arcade on YouTube. There’s photos of inside the school a few hours after the shooting that show bullets on the ground and broken windows. One more thing, I’ve seen the interview of Robbie Parker (the father of Emilie Parker) (one of the victims of the shooting.) where he briefly chuckled and smiled and “got into character.” That got debunked by himself in the trails in the courtroom where he explained why he did that. All of the things in that 2014 documentary: ‘We Need To Talk About Sandy Hook’ are all made up fabricated lies taken out of context or they can easily be debunked if you look hard enough. Also, the Sandy Hook survivor kids who sang at the 2013 Super Bowl with Jennifer Hudson, are NOT the same kids who died in the shooting, they look completely different.
Either way whatever you think of this situation. Whether you think he should be allowed to speak his mind publicly and not be punished for it is respectable, whether you think he’s a sick man that also makes sense. Or both? That makes sense also. But one thing I never understood was how is it his fault his dummy fans are that stupid to hurt family’s. A lot of celebrities should be in jail or be put to death due to their fans then. Also one thing you should remember is money makes this world turn, it’s what makes the clock move forward. In reality what is money going to do for these families? Their loved ones are gone that’s worth more than a billion dollars in my opinion. But hey what do I know it’s just an opinion at the end of the day. I hope I don’t get sued for saying these things….
LOL FATHER of child is cashing 😀 look at his reaction xD
I bet nobody here has ever seen the actual video in question what started all of this….. He litterally gave his opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Than Democrats seized their chance to "kill" Alex Jones.
Nobody in history got such fine for doing the worst crimes…. Jones gives only his opinion, biggest fine in history…….
Remember video of Robbie Parker… On CNN…
Was it not a lie to say "inflation is transitory"?
ABC makes their living telling LIES. Caused the death and suffering of millions of people.
Yeah just you know Bush works free
The guy who started a lie that killed a million people
That is genuinely one of the most satisfying things I've seen 😂
He needs to be locked up until he pays ip. He is a nasty POS.
i agree with alex!
Just eat A BARBEQUE SANDWICH DANGG
From now on he will be working to pay this off.
But nothing for the guy that actually did it….
Private investigators have already found out that he transferred his 3 million home to his new wife.
He has five homes in texas and worth around 200 million dollars.
for a billion dollars this guy will have armed investigators peeking in his windows at night, every time he does over a ten dollar banking transaction the results will be sent to solicitors and investgators for the rest of his sorry life.
This is a complete joke… I understand why , but this payout is crazy 🤪
It wouldn't be the first time the US has exploited people's feelings for public opinion and public backing.
Most infamously was George Bush's Nayirah Kuwaiti girl testimony, all of which was completely made up in a ploy to get public support to go after Bush's interests.
Paying damages for others behaviors and actions….???!!?????
He only said stuff against Sandy Hook for a year and he's been backtracking for 9 years straight and this is still what you do to the man. This is f**** sick and you people and make me sick. He admitted it was a mistake 9 years ago and you guys still won't stop like ravaging wolves and then have the audacity take a billion dollars for a mistake a man-made 9 years ago that he had already corrected. This is sicker than sick
You Alex Jones fan-boys mad about sad widdle conspiwacy host?!? 🤣🤣. Here you guys dropped this 🧂
This is ridiculous, blaming freedom of speech and the acts of other people…
This sure looks like communism
f*** the media, stupid c***s take us all for sheep… they live 💀
Complete bullshit.
He's not even worth 100 mil and the judge ordered 1 billion…..
just another scum bag what goes round comes round.
1 billion? And you don't see how dangerous a court system is that would force 1 billion over some hurt feelings? Wow, you people need some serious help. When you'll support 1 billion, you'll also support the loss of jobs if someone says the wrong thing, or imprisonment if they hurt someone's feelings. Think about it. They'll come for you next.
I know what you're thinking, "what, do you like the guy?" No, what an idiot for Sandy Hook he was. But one billion? Wake up! There are people who have been hurt way worse than these folks, way worse, in your high schools. Do you want these Marxist type people coming after you next? It sets a precedence.
Does he even have a billion?
1 BILLION FOR WHAT???
YOOO, HE GOT FUCKED!!!
Lol at Alex’s gross scummy fans in the comments section. Hold this L. Your life is full of them.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
Shame on Jones. He desevers everything he got. The family haven't the family been through enough?! He's a piece of 💩
I wish a leftie would insult me so I can sue for an absurd amount of money. Then I can retire.
The judge should be removed & bitch slapped for turning the courts into a nazi tragedy.
Thank you
Words have power and sometimes you need to use power against those words. Or in this case power of attorney
Good. I hate bloody idiots like this. They cause so much damage to people who already suffering. They cause other idiots to act like bigger idiots and they do it to try to make themselves feel important. I know a family whose son was shot and the rumours about them and their son by twats like this "man" affected them greatly.
His looks fit him perfectly, an out-of-control blowhard.
So that means Kyle Rittenhouse should sue MSM for a 1 trillion + dollars.
The fact that this idiot has followers scares me.
Jones is just silly. He should have preached that all sandy hook families are hero's. It's an Honor to die taking bullets.
