so it won't get lost at a bottom of a thread with a removed comment at the top, i'm gonna make some things clear for anyone else thinking about defending alex jones
1: he was sued by the families of dead children. 15 plaintiffs. Not 1 kid's parents. 15 plaintiffs.
2: he was sued for defamation since he claimed these people were crisis actors and anti-gun activists. This resulted in them getting harassment and death threats. One of them had to move several times, and keeps getting filmed in public. One of them sent DNA samples to prove that the dead child was actually his in court.
3: he is not being "scapegoated" by "the justice system" since it is the families of dead children suing him.
4: he is not being "punished for what his audience did." since his audience members who harrased and sent death threats were also sued in several incidents
5: this piece of shit is facing punitive damages not just for his defamation of these dead kids' families, but for wasting the court's time by constantly trolling and doubling down and lying and playing dumb and giving monologues and doing self-promotion in the middle of a court case
6: this guy is not off the hook just for being "mentally ill" or "alcoholic"
7: this guy is not a scrappy independent journalist fighting for his life. He is a multimillionaire advertiser and reactionary demagogue from a prominent right wing family with multigenerational petroleum industry wealth and he lives on a several acre plantation with orchards.
