Far-right talk show host Alex Jones should pay eight families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims and one first responder nearly $1 billion in compensatory damages, a Connecticut jury decided Wednesday, capping a wrenching weeks-long trial that put on display the serious harm inflicted by the conspiracy theorist’s lies.
He built a lie machine that could push this stuff out. You reap what you sow.” The decision in Connecticut comes two months after a separate jury in Texas determined that Jones and his company should award two Sandy Hook parents who sued in that state nearly $50 million. Later this month, the judge in that case will consider whether to reduce the punitive damages awarded under Texas law.
Jones really sounds sad and disrespectful and pretty disgusting. The crazy 1B was way too much and out of control. They will never get much of anything now. But the biggest thing was how foolish Jones was saying that. He really messed up
THIS MEANS WE COULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST JOE BIDEN AND THE FEDS FOR CLAIMING WE'RE NOT IN A BAD INFLATION
Alex Jones is a disgusting wretch of a man who is simply trying to get famous and be noticed llike Trump wants all the time to be in the spot light. Alex Jones is a little boy with ordinary dreams and aspirations to get famous no matter how he has to do it. ORDINARY
i wonder if the folks at FOX now start to sweat knowing there own lies about the election machines are about to hit the point where folks can tell u how much u have to pay for lying !
The $1B mouth!
Bet he declares bankruptcy and uses the much loved conservative socialism to pay for it.
OK then
Wouldn't want to be any company/organization spreading dis/mis info or propaganda.. This case just destroyed the mocking bird media. Law of War Drums are Beating
Completely absurd.
Yes!! Wish he had to pay more for the agony he caused to those families.
Good for him, too thug!
as he should🤷🏻♀️ yall can di3 mad
Loose lips sink ships.
What conspiracy?! Where is the proof ? Under what law?!
What conspiracy
Put him in Jail . He has no plan to pay that money and we all know it
Evil is evil and should be punished
Interesting verdict, can someone sue those 🤡 at FoxNews too!
It's about time. If this guy wants to run his mouth and make money off someone else's suffering and hardship, then he needs to pay. Prove what you say (fool) or shut up.
That isn't proportionate. It's intimidation of others that should dare question.
WONDERFUL NEWS,NOW GO AFTER THE REST IF THEM JUST LIKE THAT😘
I hope that by destroying this monster financially that no one will EVER think of hurting people like this again. This was NOT freedom of speech. It was lies and defamation and profiting from the murder of children. The saddest part was those who gave him money for it.
“…and in conclusion, fuck around and find out.”
I'm just curious as to how the punitive damages were determined in this case.
Hillary needs to pay Trump for the collusion hoax then…right?
Good he deserves it
And he is not done yet, karma will make sure he will continue to pay.
Not enough. He should be in the clink
They need to get ASAP, he's already moved holding around he Said it out loud,🤬🤬 he is not normal!; Shame he can't go to prison!!:what he has put those parents through is horrible, he is still doing his act
Amen!!!
Please get a hard core collection attorney on your panel to discuss Jones’ judgement and attaching his assets etc .
This is wild. Yeah he’s crazy but come on lol
Now go after Q for abusing those poor hillbilly rednecks by filling their pea brains with endless conspiracy theories that most turtles would poo poo.
Well that's fucking ridiculous!!!!
Thats an L
Good. Maybe it will shut the other right wing freaks up. People should sue FoxFakeNews.
Hahahahahhahaha. Fuk that guy. Complete pile!
THEORY that.
ValerioCNN Alex Jones is the most despicable man on the planet…and that is saying something
Jones should pay exactly $1 Quadrillion in damages for daring to question the establishment’s narrative. Anyone who questions Corporate media in the New US is officially an enemy of the state.
What a horrible creature
Still a billion will never be paid out seems kinda silly to make it so high
No amount of money, will heal the damage and pain he has caused. Why is he still on air
Not enough
IranRevolution2022
Which he will never actually pay. He needs jail.
Ripbozo
This guy is being buried because he Republican he is surrounded by democratic crooked people
Justice has been served. It is not about the money. JUSTICE.
Cool. Natural consequences. He should be grateful for no jail time.
Serves him right
Outstanding just what he deserves! How awful that he made that money off families who experienced such tragedy!
Frivolous money grab
If jones has to pay a billion dollars for spreading falsehoods about Sandy Hook, then CNN should have to pay 100 times that for the BS and falsehoods they spew everyday related to Trump.
Fantastic!
Great decision!!
Liars should be punished, that goes for all public speakers
Judges in on it to imprison this man. Non sense . If this is the case, CNN should pay trillion in damages for lying to people about the vaccine that Pfizer the Nazisjust admitted it's 100% useless. All the vaccine injured, people fired from jobs deserve a payout fr CNN
That is stupid
Finally
Imagine Thinking the Govt is Somehow More Trustworthy...👍🤦♂️
Conspiracy theorist !? He’s literally been right about everything the past few years
There is no place for thjs person to be in any society - he js evil beyond hell
Don't do the crime if you don't wanna to the time.
Pharmaceutical and oil companies pay less than that.
Bill Hicks** fixed that for you
If he can’t pay, jail him.
Amen!
Love or hate Alex Jones, this is so fucking absurd.
He should have paid one billion dollars for each child/person who lost their life on that horrific day!
Get real, CNN the boy that cried wolf.
marlene21247 If folks can be fined for lying can they also be fined for just being wrong? If so, how can we tell the difference? Is Dan Rather next?
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Funny, I watched the CNN CEO talk about the next push for Climate change on Project Veritas A good while back. Nice to see your all keeping your lying Yaps flappin in the wind again. Although noone listen's with any real attention.
USA courts are weird 😂. Where’s he gonna come up with that kind of money 🤦🏻♂️
That is the most ridiculous thing iv'e heard. That the media and Gov trying to shut him up and nothing less.
Finally Jones is paying a price for his outrageous lies. Never understood how anyone could believe a word coming from that disgusting man mouth.
So glad that Alex Jones got his comeuppance! His lies about Sandy Hook were deplorable and reprehensible, and he made tens of millions of dollars off of torturing grief-stricken families! 🥳🎈🎉🎂
He's disgusting and what he said is horrible but this is setting a horrible precedent
I do believe that the satisfaction of these poor families is not from receiving the money, which they know they will not likely ever see, but the severity suggested by the amount of the penalty that will hopefully shut this guy up-permanently!
Thats nothing for the infamous alex Jones 🤌🤌
GOOD..!! NOW THROW THAT FAT ASS IN JAIL ALONG WITH THE $1 BILLION DOLLARS ! HE HAS TO PAY !
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The Islamic Republic armed forces use 'Adamsite'-a type of vomiting agents or sneeze gases- to oppress Iranians. Although the effects are similar to those caused by typical riot control agents, they are slower in onset but longer in duration, often lasting for 12 or more hours.
I hope he loses everything 🙏 and more
Wtf
He was so upset he couldn’t eat his third dinner.
I hope the only thing they left that charlatan is the money that will be awarded to other families in his next trial. He made a living off of those dead children for a DECADE. It’s time for him to fade into obscurity, penniless.
Maybe this will stop other psychotic people from being in social media 🤔
If you send out info as fact and it's an opinion you need to know the difference and so should your audience. I want no one silenced but people need to be more responsible.
Now do it for media and politicians!
That's great but good luck collecting a penny from him
👏👏👏Some justice is awarded to the victims...Finally
“ProLife” to “own the libs”. But when children die, he’s not above disrespecting the f%ck out of them and touring their poor parents. What a good Christian.
I have $40 in my wallet and that alone makes me richer than Alex Jones. Plus I have clear conscience.
Good. Now let's make sure he pays and doesn't hide any money. The victims deserve every penny.
What lesson shall we learn from this? Law makers in certain states have to take a long hard look at bankruptcy laws. Corporations are not people and money does not equal speech.
Good. Alex Jones is an evil piece of shit.
Woweeeeeeeeee!!!!
L jury
Couldn't happen to a finer soul
Thank God that he is being held responsible - and being made to pay. His bankruptcy claims are bogus. What a surprise that he’s a liar
He will appeal and win. Not that this dude has a billion dollars anyways.
Still Not Enough!💀
Not enough. People killed themselves because of the torture they endured because of the jackals this monster sicced on them. Nothing will ever be enough.
Absolutely fantastic news 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is he even worth a billion? Who cares tho
Very nice
He's Really Not Taking It Well.. via YouTube
What’s CNN going to pay Americans for all their lies in broadcasting? Too long of a list to name.
He took what he deserved. Period!!!
Can’t wait to see the number to be paid for Covid lies.
His attitude even after the trial and verdict are just foul
I am completely against Alex jones, but 1 billion is way too much for a case like this.
What a joke.
Awesome. Now hopefully people continue to go after CNN, MSNBC and other propoaganda arms of the DNC. This is the size of rulings needed to reinstitute journalism.
Perfect these guy use the web to ruin the country just like trump and the cult company..
2012 was the same year, ironically, that Obama made it legal to use propaganda against the American people via the Smith-Mundt act.
The grift is over?
That's a shame, but, it sets another precedent to report fairly and accurately.
Awsome now let's get the next one porn boy trump
Rachel__Nichols To bad he isn’t in jail as well
Rachel__Nichols Freedom of Speech really died 2 years ago
Burn evil baby burn! I hope it's the last we've heard of him.
Not enough!
He's done. And Justice as been served
That's a lot of brain supplements
Rachel__Nichols Can’t wait for someone to file suit against TuckerCarlson He would be broke & made to eat those crappy frozen dinners Swansons once peddled 🤮
Amen
Rachel__Nichols That’s dumb
He deserved it
That a boy Alex! Keep telling lies so you can keep paying $$
He will never have to pay a penny. Ive been alive long enough to see what really happens to rich white ppl
Now THAT’S draining the swamp!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump IvankaTrump RudyGiuliani Are you guys going to help one of your bullshit conspiracy theorists & election lie spreader out or just walk away like your corrupt family does every time one of your yes people falls?
That is an absurd amount that will be appealed and lowered. Just as long as he goes bankrupt and those parents get a portion of every dollar he ever makes again, I'm good.
Hey Sean Hannity next?
Bent over and get fuc...
He had a billy?
Good even though he doesn’t have that amount of money. Hopefully he hast to liquidate everything he hasn’t go bankrupt because of all the mental health and issues in angst. He caused the family and kids after that.
Laurie_Garrett
This is the world we live in? $1 billion for saying it was a conspiracy?
Guess he will have nearly 1 billion reasons. Be quiet next time.
That he took this long to be brought to Justice …Then vacates his holdings to avoid paying Disgusting He should be banned from the Air Waves & a Soap Box for the Monster he is Trumpsov et al needs to face Capital Punishment GW BF would demand this “If you can keep it” Ben F
Unfortunately they’ll never get that full amount, but Jones will be paying them a lot of money over the years. Hopefully this will bankrupt him.
W
LETS FREAKING GO! Run him into the ground!
What about all the children epstein and your handlers kids lives were lost?
Now hol up....the way to approach this Alex and remove yourself from paying a dime is to say: This trial and judgement did not happen. It was a deep state hoax. You were played by an actor.
Looks good on the puke
They should be able to sell his assets and garnish his future wages.
Less the lawyers' % fees. Jail time would serve the public much better, say 25 years without parole.
Does it matter if he isnt made to shut up? The money will be a long time coming, if at all. The harassment, lies, slander, will continue. Scum.
And if he doesn’t pay, lock him up until he does. That POS should be rotting in prison regardless for what he’s done
BiancavanWyk16 Eish I wish this is done to our half baked journos in SAEditorsForum cause yey imigodoyi & amasela tarnish PutSouthAfricaFirst & OperationDudula as if we're aliens forgetting we're MovementOfThePeopleByThePeopleAndForThePeople Ushering GovernmentOfPeopleByPeopleForPeople
Silly… makes no sense
There's probably caps in the state for damages.
Free speech is fine but you have a responsibility for what you say especially when you have access to spread it. Sad part is he probably sat at home and said 'they aren't getting a penny out of me, might as well stay on the couch. Who cares?'.
I hope he is broke for the rest of his life.
Laurie_Garrett What does this mean in the state of Connecticut? I thought they were even more restrictive on punitive damages than Texas?
No one is above the law. Now, do Trump!
Couldn’t happen to a better person. Lies have consequences.
this was just exploited both ways in my opinion.
ESTE ES EL HIJO PUTATIVO DE A HITLER EN SU MAXIMA EXPRESION HIJO DE LA PEOR SUPREMACIA BLANCA REPUBLICANA ODIADOR A TODAS LAS RAZAS DE MIGRANTES DEL MUNDO QUE HAN HECHO DE LOS EEUU EL MAS GRANDE Y PODEROSO PAIS DEL UNIVERSO ESTE REPUBLICANOS DETESTAN A HISPANOS JUDIOS NEGROS
Is this guy worth close to this?
I remember 1kenthomas telling everyone how smart he was and how stupid everyone else was and that Jones would t have to pay a cent. Lovely stuff
He funneled any money and assets he had all over the place, so will declare bankruptcy and get a running start. Pffft
Deserved
joerogan shook right now
I did not know he had that much money! 😳
Not enough for that pathetic piece of human excrement! He doesn't deserve the air he breathes! I hope we can find his followers and go after them too ! You're out there, I can smell you !
That’s crazy
The day CNN will stop mentioning trump's name is the day CNN will become the most viewed channel
Finally some justice for the families of the Sandy Hook Victims, I would love to see Alex Jones also do prison time as well as the fines that would SHUT UP any future conspiracy theorist which have ZERO Social redeeming value in the UBITED STATES OF AMERICA!!
You that follow Trump this guy here Alex Jones should be your hero.He is as rotton to the core as all of you are
Well..at least he looks good for a 74 year old..
Good luck collecting that..
go crowd fund that then Jones you vile lying excuse for a human being
That’s it?
great news. finally he's hold accountable for spewing lies for clicks and views. despicable person
Exhile him.
Breast cancer awareness!!! Please DM me for free breast sucking 😋
CNN should pay just as much. It enabled Alex Jones every step of the way. Right-wing monsters.
AshCoyote
I have my own share there
PayPal waiting for its $2500 cut:
It's a beautiful day

Seems the false flag was his!
He done good
Large bills please
