Alex Jones was ordered to pay $1.4 billion for saying the Sandy Hook shootings were staged. Is this fair?

[arizonasunshine]

How much does the left-wing media have to pay when they say the Trump assassination attempts were staged? Nothing? Is there a two-tiered justice system in this country?

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, I agree. That's such bullshit, especially since lying and spreading conspiracy theories is protected under the 1st Ammendment. The only time it's acceptable to sue, is if he slandered a particular person. Even so $1.4 is outrageous! I don't think he even has that much. It's just a ploy from the left to destroy another right winger like they destroyed Guilliani.
That judge is CRAZY and definitely biased

[arizonasunshine]

They may as well make it $1 trillion fine.

[FunkyMonkee]

No. Why would it be?
In the first place, don't we have something in this country called, "the freedom of speech"?
Secondly, I've heard others say the same thing and they never got fined for it!
Thirdly, has any proven it wasn't?

[arizonasunshine]

Right on all points..

[FunkyMonkee]

*Thirdly, has anyone proven it wasn't?

[arizonasunshine]

Of course not.

[FunkyMonkee]

I was just correcting my original version.

[arizonasunshine]

Understood

The GDP of a small country over something that was said is wild.
But we all know who his enemies are…

[arizonasunshine]

I agree. The only crime I see in all that is the price tag of that ridiculous judgment.

[lightbulb27]

It seems out of order.

I live near sandy hook, it's a lovely place. the people that were torturing and believing his crap are the issue. but it's easier to chop the head off the snake... which is what they did.

I don't agree with it fully.

[Mike_Hum]

Considering the left has made a sport of calling their assassination attempts on Trump all fake, seems a bit out of balance.

[arizonasunshine]

I would sure love to have a member of the left allow me to shoot their ear at 100 yards.

[RavVid]

Media being penalized for making shit up is a good thing. Should apply in all circumstances if no evidence is supplied that it did not occur.

[Just_Ken]

To be fair Trump has a $10 billion lawsuit against the leftwing BBC for their not so clever editing job.

[strateguy632]

good example. excellent example!
