Alex Jones must pay $965 million in damages to numerous families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy, a Connecticut jury said on Wednesday, marking the second multimillion-dollar verdict against the conspiracy theorist in just over two months.
I was actually an Alex Jones fan back in high school. To someone with very little political knowledge what he says is awfully convincing. "There's a small group of powerful people pulling the strings" essentially.
Once I started fearing that the black helicopters were going to abduct me - a high school student - for reading InfoWars, and once one-too-many of his "predictions" of when martial law was going to be implemented never materialised, I took a step back and reflected that maybe this fear-mongering dipshit was actually not telling the truth.
