Alex Jones falsely accused a guy of being the Parkland school shooter, so now he's being sued for more than $1,000,000

Wait a minute. He thinks there was a Parkland shooter? Is he trying to put all the crisis actors out of work?

$1,000,000? C’mon, the guy needs to be financially crippled. This is so much worse than anything Gawker did to Terry Bollea.

I know there’s a danger in setting precedents that allow people to go after journalists, but Jones has done this often and with such blatant disregard, there has to be something he can be charged with. Anyone with that kind of reach and that willing to ruin other people is a goddamn criminal. He’s precisely the kind of human being Hammurabi’s Code was meant for.

By his own admission (during his divorce hearing), Jones is not a journalist. He’s an “entertainer”.

“The problem is that the complaint buries that core wrong into a general attack on InfoWars and Alex Jones and their fans.”

Ugh. Keep it simple, focused, and don’t force the judge to read a BFR-load of crazy. (Things I learned from watching Scientology.)

one million dollars?

This is the age of trump. Lawsuits should be over fantastically absurd amounts of money.

Calling the scheme “Guinness Book of World Records architecture,” Mr. Gapp wrote that it was “one of the silliest things anyone could inflict on New York or any other city.” Mr. Trump responded with a $500 million suit against Mr. Gapp and the Tribune Company, contending that Mr. Gapp’s criticism had “virtually torpedoed” his plan to build the world’s tallest building. The case was dismissed in Federal District Court in 1985.

VERY ENTERTAINED!

The shirt is obviously ironic - I’ve thought about buying it myself a few times on Threadless (where it is sold).

But that is all it took for Jones to leap to a massively wrong conclusion.

Leave it to fuckin Alex Jones to get pissed at a shirt that was played out 15 years ago.

Alex Jones is 44? How is that even possible? He looks like old chiseled lard.

Even if he was, there’s nothing wrong about journalists being held accountable, provided the criteria for doing so are tightly defined.
