fair enough

Why?

This is what’s known as ‘anecdotal evidence’

Neat

Its not made up lol. Its the system thats in place. Alex Jones and his legal team had to play ball, thats how the legal system functions. He not only didnt do what he needed to, he actively lied and ignored the process so the judge used their existing powers to punish him. Its not just made up in this instance, these are existing powers within the legal system when the subject of a trial decides they just ‘dont wanna’.

Legally you can say almost anything you want. But you still have to work with the legal system. Whats even more ridiculous is that legally speaking these defamation cases were almost certainly going to found in favor of Jones but he bungled his defense so bad hes being punished.

to quote that video I posted “He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory”

After rewatching the video the fines arent just for the defamation and libel. Its because he basically never fully complied with the courts in multiple ways so eventually the judge just said ‘F it’ and gave a default judgement which is basically saying ‘you give up your right to fight this case’.

This article is for both CT and TX.

Here is a video explaining what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSm7sRx-0hA

you seem to not understand the legal aspect of this, which is understandable considering how dense and nebulous the law is and can be. That video breaks it down.

This isnt just a situation of Jones going “hey, maybe this is fake” and getting a billion dollar fine. This fine is in response to YEARS of lies, doxxing, and inciting his fanbase to harass people.

The initial suite being for some massive amount is par for the course in litigation. Parties ALWAYS ask for some larger amount than they expect to get. Its like haggling and the initial amount is almost always meaningless for the reality of the case. Thats just how the system is for now.

You asked “at what point should we stop” and my answer is when he is destitute.

The fine is punitive. Its a punishment and a deterrent to other charlatan shock jocks who would like nothing more than to use the suffering of others as their ramp to fame and fortune. Im not sure its ‘special’ but he is one of the most famous of these modern day snake oil salesmen and has a massive fan base.

When he’s destitute. What he did is completely abhorrent, disgusting, and detestable. To target the families of school shooting victims is just unconscionable. He knew he was lying but he did it to profit off of the controversy. He absolutely should lose everything.

Then play more games lol

I was laid off from a 16 year job at a tech hosting company and have been looking for a new job for about 4 months. It sucks

It’s greatest fault is that awful name

the oldest published “Y’all” was from Richmond Virginia in 1856 in the Southern Literary Messenger

There’s a whole film about how arbitrary the MPAA rulings are called This Film Is Not Yet Rated, check it out

trust me bro lol

the death penalty is stupid and no govt should be trusted with it. I hope they somehow reconsider.

I just wanted to comment on how I absolutely hate the wording of the phrase “We’re Huge in Learning Loss!”

learning loss
