'Charlatan' And 'Clown' Alex Jones Faces $150 Million Judgement Day For Sandy Hook Conspiracies

[Rhiannon12866]

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones facing accountability for lying about children murdered in the Sandy Hook massacre. After Jones lost defamation trials, the case is now focused on how much he has to pay. Opening statements included parents testifying about the years of threats and harassment they've faced by people who believed the lies of Alex Jones.

MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on the case, and how the victims are explicitly trying to make the point that this is bigger than just Alex Jones. Longtime Republican strategist and Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen tells Melber, Jones "provides a safe space for incredibly destructive, strange theories. Charlatan and clown doesn't begin to say it.” - The Beat - MSNBC - Aired on 07/27/2022.

1. That isn't nearly enough.

I'm not kidding.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I agree. No punishment is enough for this offensive blowhard evil POS.

3. I want him to live under the freeway.

or worse.

4. Jail

5. He is so evil and offensive that it's impossible for me to believe that anyone could listen to him

He's even offensive to look at with his screaming red faced ranting. And what he did was unconscionable, attacking grieving parents. He deserves to go to hell.

6. I agree with you. I can't say what I hope for him.

8. Mark Bankston was going to ask for a lower amount until they got pissed in jury selection

During voir dire, Jones' latest attorney told the jury that a proper damage amount was $1. There is evidence that 75 million people believe Jones' lies and so Mark is asking for $1 per person who believed Jones and actual damages and another $1 per Jones' idiot as punitive damages

[Rhiannon12866]

9. No dollar amount is enough for the enormity and vindictive nature of his lies

He deserves to go bankrupt, but that's not nearly enough. Nothing can compensate for the pain he caused for already bereaved families.

11. Jones's slimy criminal defense attorney was caught lying and there was almost a fight

The slimy attorney representing Jones has been calling Mark Bankston a personal injury lawyer and then claimed that Mark is a liar. This asshole is a second or third tier criminal defense attorney who was slimey enough to be hired by Jones.

The asshole Jones attorney lied in court about exhibits/videos that he wanted to introduce and told the court that Mark Bankston told him that he did not have to comply with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and provide the other side with exhibits and videos to be used. The judge told the asshole Jones Attorney that Mark Bankston always follows the rules and does everything in writing. Mark told the guy that he lied and they got in each other's face. One of Mark's partners who is 6 ft 3 inches got in-between before the asshole Jones attorney could hit Mark. There will be a hearing tomorrow
