That's 10x compensatory damages. Twitter lawyers say it's too high to stand up on appeal, which is not true bc 10x compensatory has been held to be reasonable. Whatever. Fuck Alex Jones.
Would love to read some late night Jones, Bannon, and Trump group chats Can picture all 3 of them laying in bed giggling like school girls texting each other
So what avenues does he have left to avoid paying this? Realistically, how long until the families receive a check?
He’ll appeal. That will take at least a year or two. Chances are they settle before appeals are exhausted.
The next case is in the state of Connecticut, where there’s no cap, it’s going to be interesting how that one plays out.
It’s crazy to go back and look at how much of a normalized cult hero he was in Austin in his early days. He was in two Linklater films and on publicly funded radio. https://www.austinmonthly.com/alex-jones-is-mad-as-hell/
His rants weren’t as damaging and far fetched then, and his audience much smaller. He also ranted about public figures.
He started out a bit like the car talk guys. But instead of genuine help with a schtick, he made a movement. I hope his accountants are are horrible as his lawyers were. He deserves everything coming to him. I hope the whole thing crumbles. I hope he doesn't kill himself because I want him to rot in jail. And I hate the idea of it. But he deserves it
I'm still baffled that Alex Jones has made as much money as he allegedly has. Like I'm aware of Rogan being a huge platform but if someone had told me that Alex Jones/infowars was making over $50 mil a year I would have thought they were out of their minds.
I don't really understand why a jury of your peers can say you're owed x amount but that can be overruled by an appeal
From 2003: Alex just entertained the notion from a caller that there is only one SWAT team in the entire country. I have no idea why. I think because the caller referenced The Art of War
"The difference between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings is that Lord of the Rings doesn't teach you how to perform magic"
The knowledge fight guys are going on Brian Stetlers show and someone shared this clip of Alex talking about him that is pure insanity.
