I think its safe to say Jones is gonna be paying top-dollar and will be rendered broke and also irrelevant to the public.

Unless his Right Wing Media friends will prop him back up.

But yeah, this guy is toast for spreading conspiracies, libel, and defamation to the victims and families of the Sandy Hook Shooting all those years ago.

I don't think Alex Jones has as many friends in the right-wing community as people think. They also tend to eat their own.

I do think this is relevant though

Was this the case where his layer argued what he was saying was so crazy nobody would reasonably believe him or was that his custody battle?

Now if only this happens to:
Ben Shapiro
Tim Pool
Tucker Carlson
Stefan Molyneux
Black Piegeon Speaks youtuber (whatever his real name is)
Gavin McInnes
Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad, or as I like to call him Sargoon of Fuckwad)
Can I add Project Veritas. Because they make Alex Jonee look like a real journalist. Put them rignt at the top
Also wanted to say Stefan can go to the top of the list with Black Pigeon and Veritas. Lower on the list I want to add Steven Crowder, Mike Cernovich, Joey Gibson and his marketing team Andy Ngo.

Just from Australia, Id like to add Tim Stewart and Clive Palmer.

Didn't he lose by default for not providing documents or something? I can see him using that as him saying he never got his day in court and was found guilty without a trial. Guarantee that will be the alt-right talking point in all of this.

Refusing to submit critical documents and defaulting could, of course, have been a deliberate tactic if Jones knew he had a losing case. He loses either way, but this route gets to make a play to his paranoid, conspiracy theory audience as a victim of state / woke / liberal oppression.

That's even without the possibility that those documents might reveal that Jones knowingly lied, which would be really awkward for his credibility.

It's very possible that Jones decided to eat the losses because releasing those documents would have made him liable for even further lawsuits.

Not sure if Alex Jones used that one, but Fox News used that one to defend Tucker Carlson's show being on air.

Just too bad that millions of Americans are stupid enough to believe the lunacy.

He did, pretty sure in his custody battle.

Also pretty sure Hannity hs used it too or I'm mixing him up with Carlson.

If you get the chance, listen to the depositions he gave during these cases.
In my personal assessment, it's a man who has an estranged relationship with the truth totally unprepared for a situation where he cannot just spout off his bullshit unopposed.

some of those depositions CM156 mentioned, for those interested:
"Did you say X?"
"I don't think I ever said X"
*Plays video of Alex Jones saying X"
"That looks edited"

Can he be legally required to fuck off? I mean, "please go die under a bridge with no legacy but being the punchline of jokes" levels of "fuck off".
Fortunately or unfortunately, no. My understanding of Texas law means that his house is safe from these families even if they win a judgement.

Good. Fuck this guy with some sharp and unsanitary.

Also why did it take so long? Claiming the children weren't really killed, were never real or are child actors is a pretty grizzly, but easy, fact to disprove. Like I hate to say it, but there are bodies.
Its one thing to claim the shooting was played up by liberals, disgusting as that sounds. Its another to claim the children never existed and the parents are scam artists pretending to have lost children.
