I'm curious, how come he didn't hire competent defense? He has the money for it. Maybe it's because

1. He's actually broke and went with the lowest bidder
2. Too politically toxic and no competent lawyer wants anything to do with him
3. This case is unwinnable and no self respecting lawyer wanted to take that L

Barnes is on America's Untold Stories right now:
He claims that punitive is capped at $750k per plaintiff per Texas law, so not near as bad as the jury claims.

Similar thing happened in the Depp trial, the $15 million got knocked down to 10 or something.

yeah, but he didnt talked about that long and went back on it very very fast. the whole hoax story came from other places, jones mostly talked about obama trying to use this to grab guns and the coverup of the police failure.

the trial itself is a joke, they took all rights from him, broke laws and well they normaly just dismiss cases like this.
if this kind of trial becomes the new normal, the people on the view will be very very poor very soon. You can hate jones as much as you want, but this trial should scare the shit out of you.

And you think that Alex Jones audience makes up only a small portion of that if at all?
 
How could they do this!?

I believe the thing is... Alex Jones is the fire burning Lady Liberty. Alex Jones is consuming freedom.

Alex Jones and the Right to Offend​

By Ed Brodow


On Dec. 14, 2012, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut resulted in the deaths of 20 children and six staffers. Alex Jones, a controversial far-right talk show host, called the Sandy Hook massacre a U.S. government hoax, staged using crisis actors, to serve as a pretext for gun control. Parents of one of the slain children filed a defamation suit against Jones, claiming that followers of Jones had harassed them and sent them death threats for years in the false belief that they were lying about their son's death.
Jones's defense was his right to free speech and that he was not responsible for the harassment. He lost. The jury awarded the parents $45.2 million in punitive damages on top of $4.1 million in compensatory damages — another example of outrageous damage verdicts that plague the legal system.

Freedom of speech is coming under attack from all directions. The primary assault is based on the existence of a new "right": the right not to be offended. It is claimed by many on the left that the right not to be offended is more important than the right to free expression.

Our colleges and universities have fallen victim to this new "right." The feelings of students often constitute sufficient justification for campus censorship. If a conservative speaker offends some of the students, that speaker can be denied a platform. "The belief that free speech rights don't include the right to speak offensively is now firmly entrenched on campuses and enforced by repressive speech or harassment codes," wrote attorney Wendy Kaminer in The Atlantic.

The problem is spreading to the mainstream. In the 2010 case of Nurre v. Whitehead, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings that school authorities can deny students' rights to free speech just to keep other students from being offended. The courts are "allowing schools the discretion to let an offended minority control a cowed majority," constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead wrote in the Huffington Post. "There is no way to completely avoid giving offense," he said. "At some time or other, someone is going to take offense at something someone else says or does. It's inevitable. Such politically correct thinking has resulted in a host of inane actions, from the Easter Bunny being renamed 'Peter Rabbit' to Christmas Concerts being dubbed 'Winter' Concerts."
In a democratic republic, there can be no right not to be offended. If anyone can prohibit another person's speech because it's offensive, there is no limit to the restrictions that can be placed on free expression. As the late author Christopher Hitchens said, "[f]reedom of speech must include the license to offend."

Alex Jones and his band of goons are the type that will happily remove others' right to free speech if you go in against them, so fuck him and anyone who stands with him, I ain't defending his 1st Amendment on that basis alone.

Second, fuck cult leaders in general. He deserves the spanking just for that alone.

Yet another who acts like "Oh he just says mean things" and had nothing to do with the harassment. Bitch, if it were that simple, the concept of military officers and war propaganda wouldn't be a thing.

5. This was a political show trial put up by the wealthy elite in Travis county and the DNC at large. these guys are grifting billions trying to punish dissident right wingers.( then talk to the base that votes for them.) I swear if Dems weren't so punative Republicans would have never won elections post 2008.

While I would agree with that, Some people have given Alex Jones large anonymous crypto amounts I guess some anons love Alex Jones or he's made some friends who are big in crypto. considering the guy is still a hero to most of central Texas and most native austinites outside the lefty bubbles he has a lot more friends then people realize.

Moving his money to trusted accounts in other peoples hands is smart. We have this day and age two wonderfully shitty things the banks and government can do that can utterly ass fuck you before court even starts; closing all your accounts and withholding funds, and asset forfeiture. Kyle Rittenhouse's case is a prominent example of the former getting pulled.

People forget that unless you have everything in cash or everything in crypto it's very easy for the government to shut down any sort of bank account without even being charged with a crime. I know people think this is just an overreaction but people who are quote on quote political extremists who are not wanted men are having their bank accounts pulled.

This is why I fucking hate the life ruination crowd people. I know people think it's funny to call people Nazi and ruin their lives for "being shitty people" but in reality it's not funny it's pretty sad. If you're a dick who supports ruining people's lives because they're cringe you're evil. It's fun to laugh at people maybe send some pizzas or send diapers to a person's home. but people who ruin others lives by having them backlisted or fired because they call someone a lowcow is Effed up.

Why Alex Jones is being targeted​

By Rajan Laad


Last Friday, a Texas jury ordered Alex Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a child who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, adding to the $4.1 million compensatory damages he must pay for the suffering he put them through by claiming for years that the nation’s deadliest school shooting was a hoax.
Jones has since acknowledged that the shooting was real, but has claimed his statements about Sandy Hook were protected by the First Amendment.
The news of Alex Jones being fined was met with unrestrained jubilation across liberal precincts.
The New York Times carried a piece headlined “Why Alex Jones’s Trial Won’t Stop the Spread of Lies” and that headline was altered to “Don't Expect Alex Jones's Comeuppance to Stop Lies." CNN carried a piece headlined: “Will the Alex Jones trials change conspiracy culture?” MSNBC called Jones a 'Sickening liar.'

CBS News carried a piece headlined: “Alex Jones judgment: The cost of lies.” The Washington Post carried a piece with a juvenile headline: “Liar Liar, Alex Jones on Fire.” NPR carried a piece titled: “How Alex Jones mainstreamed conspiracy theories.” The Associated Press carried a piece headlined “Alex Jones’ $49.3M verdict and the future of misinformation.”
“Comedians” John Oliver and Stephen Colbert gleefully mocked Alex Jones following the verdict. Piers Morgan was elated.
The fact that compulsive fabricators in the media failed to see the irony proves that the self-righteous seldom have any self-awareness.
So let’s look very briefly at the record of the mainstream media on being factual:
When Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2016, all of the mainstream media worked with various government agencies and Hillary Clinton’s allies to amplify the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

The gist of the conspiracy theory was that Trump had defeated Hillary by colluding with the Russians. The promoters of the theory couldn’t explain the details of how Trump and the Kremlin worked together. They couldn’t provide any proof that any votes were altered by Russian agents. They could offer any proof that Trump had any connections with Kremlin. Yet they ran with the story and amplified it every day.

Fanatical Democrat operatives such as Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell frequently outdid each other in the department of outrageousness and mendacity, as did many pundits in the media. Some even claimed that Trump was groomed by the Kremlin during the '80s. 'Comedy' shows such as SNL also played their part in promoting the hoax.
The noise got so loud that even cowardly GOP members were compelled to concur with the fabrication. In the end, it caused the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller whose team consisted of Trump-hating Democrats. The media carried it with glee, every day they would cite leaks from unnamed sources that the walls were closing in on Trump and that he may even be forced to resign.

After 674 days, which is almost two years, the probe was completed and not even a smidgen of evidence of Trump-Russia collusion was found. Mueller purposefully worded his report to leave some ambiguity about Trump's innocence. The Democrats and the media used vagueness to claim that there was indeed collusion, but Trump was such a master criminal that he had left no evidence despite colluding. To this day, crackpots call Trump an agent of Putin.
This was the most preposterous conspiracy theory in the history of modern America. Donald Trump has lived all of his life in the public spotlight, for decades, and his successes are well documented. To claim Trump is a Russian agent is ludicrous. Only a looney conspiracy theorist would make such an absurd claim. Yet the mainstream media carried it with malicious intent.
It not only was a personal attack on President Trump and his supporters, it was also an accusation of treason – which carries the death penalty. The relentless lies eroded trust in the foundation of democracy, i.e., elections, among a strikingly wide swath of the public.

Sorry for the double post but it's now Unz's turn to rant about Alex Jones.

Late last week a Texas jury ordered Alex Jones to pay nearly $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages to the parents of a child killed in the Sandy Hook shootings, with two more trials still scheduled. These awards may be sharply reduced, but if they are not, the result will probably mean the destruction of Jones’ media empire.

For decades Jones has been one of America’s most prominent conspiracy theorists, and although I’ve never watched his show nor scarcely ever visited his website, under ordinary circumstances I would be quite sympathetic to his plight, given the tremendous record of dishonesty by his arch-enemies in the mainstream media.

From what I’ve read, Jones came to major national prominence in the early 2000s when he became a leading skeptic of the official 9/11 narrative, widely promoting public criticism of that official fairy tale when no one in the mainstream media and even few alternative journalists were willing to do so. I myself only became aware of these issues long afterward, and if I’d been listening to Jones at the time I would have learned some important facts years earlier.

However, even a broken clock is right twice each day, and the conspiracy community seems plagued by individuals who tend to believe that almost everything is a conspiracy and that reality can be determined simply by inverting the statements of government officials or mainstream journalists. Jones represents an unfortunate example of this tendency, probably egged on by his numerous agitated followers.

Soon after the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School took the lives of 26 students, Jones and various other prominent conspiracy-activists began denying the reality of the massacre. They focused upon initial inconsistencies in the mainstream media reports and what they considered suspicious video footage to claim that the killings had never occurred, and that the incident was merely a hoax concocted by powerful groups for sinister reasons, with the allegedly grief-stricken parents actually being “crisis actors” recruited to play a role for the national television cameras. Indeed, Prof. James Fetzer, who held similar beliefs, entitled his controversial book Nobody Died at Sandy Hook, and he subsequently lost a defamation lawsuit similar to that of Jones.

The parents of murdered children are highly sympathetic victims, and publicly accusing them of being paid actors with imaginary children seems legally actionable, especially after they were bombarded with death threats by Jones’ legion of devoted followers. Under American libel law, even the wildest accusations may be freely made against public figures without much fear of legal consequences; but the parents of murdered schoolchildren are private individuals, so Jones appears to deserve his fate.

If anyone has questions, wait for the movie.

No I'm serious; they were filming this thing. Not recording, they were filming. The jurors had a camera on them the entire time. It's literally a trial to be turned into a show. There is nothing being hidden about the agenda here.

Fitting, considering AJ's line of work.

EDIT: That he's a broadcast presenter.
It's probably important to the justice process as well since AJ will go on his show and spout whatever he wants to say about the trial, having it all on camera means that people can see for themselves what happened.

He wasn't allowed to defend himself because the Bias was evident from the get go and it's fairly obvious Travis county and the DNC want to make as much of an example trying to make him penniless and broke because he made a defamatory mistake. Meanwhile the same people in the American media do the same to average Joe's and Not a damn thing happens.
