Mind Begs the Question:
Hitler,Nazi Media – falsely Demonized Jews
Govt,Media – can't spread Misinformation?
Its crazy. Well this world really keeps People quet
DEASAGRADABLE HUMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope it he’s already in bankruptcy. So that can’t happen again. I listened to the episodes covering this. There were many strange things to raise questions about. I will tell you this. I will never stop watching infowars and finding it. They tell the truth ten, five, two and months before anyone else has the guts to do it. When will the three letter organizations start paying us all back for their mess ups?
So he uses the trials to increase his sales
Let him fight it, but freeze his assets while he does. No comfort, not a hot meal, not a warm bed until he pays his debt.
All the fake news and kangaroo courts wont stop the truth from being told. Alex Jones is now a martyr
what about former infowar hosts like Jason Bermas? and there was that polish guy Luke Rudkowski. these people should also be held accountable just for being a bunch of idiots.
im gonna enjoy watching the families whinge in interviews about not getting any money because they aint getting a penny hahahah
Joe Rogans best friend
Free Alex Jones from the false defamation lawsuit conviction and violations against his First and Eighth Amendment Constitutional Rights!
🛑🛑. If Alex Jones fails to pay the billion, would he become criminally liable? Asking for a friend (whose name is Bubba, resides in General Population, is into white chubbies)
"obviously this verdict is designed to bankrupt him permanently" so we know what the case was really about.
Alex Jones has as much contempt for US Laws as the ex-President Donald Trump.
So forget it… Nobody – apart from the lawyers – is getting a penny!
Don't go against the grain or they'll bankrupt you
Hilarious….he can beg his buddy joe rogan to pay the bill for him…
I firmly believe Jones is demonically possessed. How else can you explain the sheer hatred this man shows to suffering people ? Fines/ monetary damages are not enough. It's time people like Jones go to prison for a long, long, long time !
As I read some of the comments of kooks sticking up for Jones, it's obvious Satan has his hooks in them too. Lord Jesus Christ please deliver these people from the enemies deceptions !
America needs revival !
This is a ridiculous judgment. There is no way that those families were hurt that bad. This is about punishing one of America's greatest threats to the rich.
Are the lawyers serious at all? How can you collect $965m from Alex Jones? I feel the parents are being used as pawns by the enemies of Jones. Its sad what happened to them, but to be exploited after the death of your son first by media and now by lawyers to get their enemy is sad. The reaction of one mother when she heard $20m, $70 m, $100m said it all. She knew she wont get the money. Alex doesnt have that money
NBC: Alex Jones to pay 1 billion in defamation suit..
This is the most ridiculous verdict iv ever heard…this is essentially a slander case that Alex Jones is responsible for paying these families almost a billion dollars.. idk the families obviously deserve something but his media businesses are nowhere close to being worth that kind of money…these families will be lucky if they see it.
40 50 million
After taxes or I mean out of over 900 million, hope that's just a questamet
That’s Ridiculous
GOOD!
IL b ur hoax healer..id do anything,anything for you.
No he's still paid handsomely for gatekeeping and shilling.
This is the least of Jones problems. Thr Karma Express hasn't even started rolling yet.
As ridiculous as it sounds, the amount does sound about right. I'm worried he'll weasel out of it
If Alex Jones believes he can save himself thru further litigation he is delusional. Just wait till his attorneys lower his breeches and put him on his knees. Jesus wept.
Don’t feel sad for him, making the parents having to relive the nightmare is disgusting, hopefully some day he will understand.
America…
He will appeal this, so, when are you guys getting sued for lies?
Imagine if he does what epstein did 🙂
Total BS! What happened to the constitution and Bill of rights? Freedom of speech……Jones can believe what he wants and say what he wants too. Take it to the supreme court!
George Floyds family is still waiting on there settlement. BLM is living in Mansion's.
Selling Lies? So he was wrong about Epstein and Bill Clinton 10 years before Epstein was murdered? Sure pal.
Way way to much. Getting stupid to give all this money out for speaking their mind. Need to put a limit on these things
Nope lol it will not bankrupt him lol
This whole thing was a farce and it was incredibly obvious the level of bias that was displayed. The only goal behind this charade was to intentionally chill free speech.
I take it the discovery channel can get shut down because every programme is a conspiracy theory
He only has 65k in his bank account.
Sue Cenk. He has 4 million
Smh wow
1Billion… now that's a lot of supplements 😏
He must paid. Thank NBC News
Alex has to pay a billion. Justice is served.
The people in this comment section would rather side with a sick conspiracy theory peddler than the families of slaughtered kids that had thier grave stones urinated on due to Jones lies. Sad times we live in.
