I watched a total of 7 seconds, and I could not take anymore.
One name in the story should be in neon: WOLFGANG HALBIG. Monster.
He’s going for the insanity plea isn’t he.
I just gotta say, watching portions of this deposition video was just about the most satisfying thing I can think of in a while. Watching the supreme vileness that is Alex Jones squirm for 3+ hours is priceless. It’s not nearly enough, but it’s a start.
Jones: I talk four hours a day, and I can’t remember what I talked about sometimes a week ago. Sandy Hook has been, in the aggregate, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of what I cover. And I understand that you’ve been living this and poring over it constantly. I have done almost no preparation for this. It’s very ― it gives me a headache, and I just ― you’re just showing me a bunch of edited tapes.
“I just talk so much, you guys! I can’t keep it all straight. So what if you have recordings! I only said this stuff a few times relative to everything else I’ve said!”
It’s practically a real life Chewbacca defense.
Oh, i am using noscript which is probably where the problem lies. I just didn’t want to enable advertising dot com and certainly not cookies in order to see the article.
In the 90’s I remember reading a hypnotism script that was supposed to make your penis grow bigger. The hypnotist’s actual technique was to make the subject perceive that his hands were smaller, and thus making him think his penis had grown… Hmmmmm, perhaps the mind over matter thing works…
When you actually run the numbers Jeffrey Dahmer spent less than one-tenth of one percent of his adult life killing and eating people, but that’s still kinda the thing most of us remember him for.
Whenever this evil baboon’s name comes up I can only think of Tuck Buckford and giggle. Thank God for Stephen Colbert:
Did someone say “insanity defense?”
Not his lawyers, I hope. As far as I’m aware, insanity doesn’t exempt one from liability in tort cases.
I just used my factory default, firmware ignore mode, and skipped straight to comments.
@anon67050589 “Depends on if you’re using US English or British English.” I know that we are two nations separated by a common tongue, but I’d not come across that before. Do the Americans refer to the partners separately (“are”) or to the practice as a unit (“is”)? I’m pretty sure that, over here in the UK, we lump together our lawyers in to easily quantifiable lumps.
@hecep Kirsty Alley and Ted Danson; what a gorgeous pair, and charming too.
@Melz2 “*Edited to correct typos.” That strikes me as funny when applied to a comment about a man who does nothing to correct his own mistakes.
@tuhu Maybe the answer to tiny-paws-syndrome is a nice pair of over-sized white gloves… with three fingers, of course.
I’ll take that as a compliment, that I am nothing like the person I was commenting about.
The Guardian is on this tip too, for those looking for text…
almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I’m now learning a lot of times things aren’t staged
I…wha?
I can just see the Judge wanting to call a recess and bang their head into the wall at the stupidity of that.
“Thank you for your honesty, Mr Jones. The court feels that since you are prone to temporary psychosis that leads you to actually destroy people’s lives while it takes effect, that you should no longer be allowed access to voice or video broadcast equipment and will be confiscating your phone immediately.”
Yeah, I mean, at the very least, if he’s “innocent” whoever gave his “psychosis” a platform and profited from his “suffering” should be liable…
Remember when he was a performance artist and his on air persona was an act? Now it’s like a form of psychosis.
Fucking weasel.
my apologies to four-legged, furry weasels everywhere.
So even Alex Jones now believes you’d have to be insane to believe the Sandy Hook Truther nonsense?
