You act like this isn't an ordinary thing for courts.

It isn't, not for cases of this magnitude. You know where it's really common? Divorce court. And you know what happens when retards pull this shit in divorce court? The judges absolutely fuckin' rape them. I will bet the vast majority of divorcees in the manosphere whining about "divorce rape" lied in court, didn't show up for hearings, didn't obey court orders, didn't supply requested documents, etc.

And even then! Alex Jones did shenanigans multiple times in this case, and the judge slapped him on the wrist! He just did it one too many times. He shenanned his last nigan. The judge simply had enough and said, "Okay, that's it, it's over, I warned you enough times, now you get the default judgment."

What a schizo fucking retard. Fine, I can get behind a default judgement. You'll never sell me on Total Financial Death.

The plaintiffs were seeking around $900m in damages. $300m for punitive. $150m for lawyer's fees. I don't remember what else. Don't default when somebody is suing you for everything.

That garbage truck was not moving very quickly. It was also pulling off to the shoulder on the right where there was no lane. Why the hell wouldn't Alec have kept going straight? He must have been going way too fast or something, following too close behind, or instinctively followed the truck as it was pulling off thinking it was how the road went.

Definitely wasn't paying attention, at the very least.

Default judgements are trivially easy to avoid. You avoid them by showing up in court and doing what the judge tells you to do.

This particular default judgement was huge because Jones had accumulated years of ill will with this particular judge across multiple lawsuits by acting like a massive faggot during discovery. The list of things he did in the judgement is downright embarrassing to read. So what the judge basically ruled, "I am sick seeing your stupid face and dealing with these stupid antics. How much money do I need to fine you to end your business make sure I never have to see you again? Oh, it's almost a billion dollars? Well fine, you owe a billion. Now fuck off."

Jones has subsequently lost all his appeals because it's a default judgement, so the only real question is, "Did you actually show up and do as you're told, the trivially easy thing you needed to do in order to avoid this fine? No, you didn't? Well, sorry, pal."

Alex jones is a bit of a dickhead, and often acted like rules didn't apply to him and thought it was a good idea to shit on the judge in his case. That's never a smart play. That said, dude doesn't deserve a 1.5 billion dollar settlement placed on him.

Can either of you actually tell me what Alex Jones' crimes actually were? He said an opinion that pissed off the elites and for that he deserves to have his life ruined and you are in support of Jones having his life ruined by the elite because you think he was a dick to said elites? Everything you are saying can apply to Donald Trump when he was getting reamed in court too.

almost every time

it's really infuriating because family court is horrifically unjust and needs to be reformed but the majority of the people complaining the loudest did 90% of what happened to them to themselves

a very typical situation is you have two retards but one is crazy/abusive. the first retard thinks they can vibe their way through the case because the bitch is obviously crazy/the fucker is obviously abusive. and that's true! but family court is in fact not reddit and you can't just post your way into consensus. So the crazy bitch or the horrible man gets the kids and terrible things ensue which all could have been avoided if the first retard had followed the rules.
