It's one of those cosmic mysteries why 20 children in Newtown, CT, aged 6 and 7, were killed in a brutal way by automatic gunfire ripping them apart, and why a vile, bottom-feeding p.o.s. like hatemonger Alex Jones lives on and profits from his depravity. Jones is infamous for a lot of things: pushing debunked conspiracy theories, claiming "globalists" < wink wink Jews > were behind the 9-11 attacks and were trying to form a "New World Order." But of all his sick utterings, his claim that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown was a staged affair using "child actors" to undermine gun humpers' rights was the sickest.
Jones is now being sued by families of the Sandy Hook massacre after his hate speech regarding the massacre caused them to be subjected to harassment by Jones' lunatic followers. There are suits pending in Connecticut and in Texas, where Jones' broadcasts from. In a Texas court hearing yesterday, Jones' lawyers argued for dismissal of the defamation lawsuit brought by the parents of 6 year-old victim Noah Pozner. Here's some of the scene inside the courtroom:
"The hearing included more than a half-hour of an Infowars episode played for a Texas judge, who at one point told onlookers to remain silent after some gasped when a lawyer for the parents said Infowars showed maps to the home of Veronique De La Rosa and Leonard Pozner. Their 6-year-old son, Noah Pozner, was among the 20 children and six adults killed in the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre. They have sued Jones for defamation in a case that centers on the host falsely claiming on Infowars that De La Rosa taped an interview with CNN in front of a studio green screen and not outside a town hall in Newtown."This monster, after causing them so much heartache, is now suing the Pozners for $100,000 in court costs. Belatedly, social media platforms which Jones uses to spread his hate messages are beginning to act. Spotify removed several episodes of Jones' podcasts citing their policy against hate speech. Last week, Facebook suspended him for 30 days for "bullying and hate speech", a sanction so weak it speaks more to Facebook's cowardice than to their integrity.
Jones can at least be comforted in the support of one fan: sociopathic fellow con man and conspiracist Donald "Rump" Trump, who made it a point to thank Jones for his "help" during the 2016 Presidential campaign, and who apparently feeds Rump some of his warped ramblings. Not surprising at all, but sickening and infuriating.
