In emotional testimony, Robbie Parker, the parent of a Sandy Hook shooting victim, recounted the violent threats and harassment he and his family have suffered in the years since conspiracy theorist Alex Jones called him a crisis actor

The day after their six-year-old daughter, Emilie, was murdered in the 2012 shooting, Parker gave a statement to the press. Hours later, Jones was on his InfoWars show describing him as a crisis actor to his audience of millions. Later that night, unable to sleep, Parker said he saw the start of a deluge of hateful messages about the press conference on the Facebook memorial page for Emilie.

“They would come in these waves and it was almost like I knew when Alex Jones said something because we would get a huge wave of stuff.” Through tears, he recalled a man confronting him on the street in Seattle in the fall of 2016, nearly four years after the shooting. Yelling and cursing at him, the man asked him how he could sleep at night and how much he was paid by the government for acting in the hoax.

The 'Freedom of the Press' and 'Freedom of Speech' portions of the 1st Amendment should be re-examined. To many folks getting away with slander and lies to promote their cause. Alex Jones and Donald Trump are prime examples, but not the only ones.
