Court Gives Sandy Hook Families Go Ahead for Defamation Cases Against Infowars' Alex Jones

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, who are suing Infowars host Alex Jones for defamation for saying the massacre was a "giant hoax," were given a green light to move ahead with their lawsuits against him, the Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday.

Twenty first-graders and 6 educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., were killed on Dec. 14, 2012, in one of the 5 worst shootings by a single gunman in U.S. history.

After the shooting, Jones took to his popular web talk show on Infowars.com, which has trafficked in various conspiracy theories, to spread baseless and inflammatory statements about the massacre.

Calling the mass shooting "a giant hoax," he told the millions who watch his show and visit his site that it was a "false flag" operation staged by crisis actors posing as grieving parents to strengthen gun control laws.

1. They should be able to sue that wretched MTG as well for peddling her bullshit theories

[dutch777]

7. Yes, and others! Sue them all as there will be no other way to stop this kind of non sense

The media, social and conventional, types are all too willing to say whatever outrageous lie gets them clicks and viewers. Unless the cost to do so becomes higher than the benefit, they win at that sick game.

2. I hope they take him to the cleaners

once and for all.

4. Hope they take the lunatic Congresswoman with him n/t

[MontanaMama]

6. THAT

would be the best of all outcomes, most certainly.

3. I hope when Alex pleads poverty, they point to him bragging he spent $500,000 on the insurrection

5. The Length Of Time It Took To Get To This Point

is almost as nauseating as the crimes themselves. Imagine waiting almost 3 years to get the go ahead to start a trial. Keep in mind it could take another couple of years to resolve and go through the appeals process. Don't be surprised if folks involved in this case start passing before this gets resolved.

8. hurry up
