COLD HEARTED PIG
Jones, DJT, and Bannon are some of the worst examples of humans we've ever known. The parents of all 3 should apologize to the world for the ugliness and destruction they have caused. The three of them represent a strong argument in favor of greater access to abortions.
Jones is using the Trump strategy….lie until it no longer works then go to bigger lies. I hope they clean him out.
I can’t speak for Alex Jones but he did say he was sorry. Now FO. That’s right.
Alex Jones show no respect or remorse… make him pay!
It's going to be interesting watching the republicans investigate the democrats. I bet it will destroy their party.
So…how do we know these are really the parents?
These scums bags created drama 🎭 and stir up the pain they created
Don’t forget about First Amendment and freedom of speech 🎤
Alex Jones Infowars was was right about Jeffrey Epstein
Alex Jones, the best that Dallas has to offer.
What a bunch of liberal baby’s all of you are!!!
Nothing but a witch hunt
He literally said that that's what he thought at the time but realized he was wrong…
Jones ego is as big as texas Take him down
Alex Jones did nothing wrong!!! This is a fight for everyone's free speech, love it or hate it!
One thing I could not ever fully understand and wrap my head around is that several of the Sandy Hook parents set up online dedication/memorial websites asking for money and accepting donations from people related to the death of their child.
But why the need even to do this? Some parents made tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. But why?
The death of a child, who is not a wage earner, is not a financial loss but is actually a considerably savings on future extensive expenses for the next 20 years. The savings on future college tuition for example. It is not as if these children were sick and incurred extensive medical bills. Funeral costs would be about the only financial expense and quite minimal. These people were middle to upper middle class economic bracket.
As a parent, if I lost a child under similar circumstances, I don't see myself even thinking about setting up a gofundme page and collecting 250k from strangers when I am not out of or at a loss regarding that amount of money in the first place. It just would not even cross my mind to even do that. It is estimated that just for the families and those closely related to the victims that 11 million dollars in donations and grants were taken in. 28 million was taken in by other charitable organizations surrounding the Sandy Hook community.
The Iranian government has blocked people's internet in Iran due to anti-government and anti-women's rights demonstrations. The last time he did that, he killed 1,500 people in Iran in a matter of days, many of them women. Please be their voice to let the whole world know about the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This demonstration was started after a 22-year-old girl was killed by the government for not wearing a hijab

The parents should sue him again for making this process more torturous by dragging it out for so long. This isn't about free speech but whether people should make money out of the misery of others.
Guns exist all around the world but mass shootings occur mostly in America. The problem is Americans.
Uvalde was the 7th 2022 school shooting. Last count was 27 school shootings. Add Tampa now to the growing tally.
44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day. America is the ONLY country on Earth with regular school shootings.
9,000 Ukrainian troops died in the last 6 months of war. 7,920 Americans were shot by other Americans in the past 6 months.
In this world today you’re genuinely not aloud to make mistakes anymore. All the people wishing on his downfall should go eat a glizzy. He caused emotional “damage” and apologized. Is that not good enough? Is that not what we were taught to do growing up? 😭 Now they’re pursuing him for this money only because he has the money whereas if it were someone else… this wouldn’t be happening. I hope they spend that blood money well. Won’t bring back the kids though
SHAME ON YOU, Alex Jones! You want your Guns so much, you went
out of your way to even accuse those victims 26 people, 20 are first 👶🏻👶🏿👶🏽👶graders who died, and their families as SCAMMERS!! I’m really stumped! Someday, You’ll get yours! 😢😢😢
Trump for PRESIDENT
How pathetic to watch. For some, where free speech ends; hate speech begins. Denial, dismissing the documented grief and suffering of others/loved ones during a genuinely tragic event. And here I thought Ann Coulter was bad with some of her prize non-fact observations. But hey, at least she was smart enough to put a sock in it – and stay out of the public eye.

. This isn't about free speech but whether people should make money out of the misery of others.Take everything from him. Bankrupt him!
Funny how they cut out the most important segments
Bankrupt he is a a hole
Contemp???
Remember when George W Bush jr lied about WMDs in Iraq to get this USA in a war, which resulted in the deaths of millions. The lies told by world 'leaders' make Alex Jones look like nothing in comparison. Do some real justice and free Julian Assange, who is someone who told the truth but got imprisoned instead.
NBC News, you allow comments to your work? This is no defamation case! You are not working, you are not press but manhunting criiminals, much worse than A.J, who can be mean one in a while. Wait until they go after you … and you deserve it.
When I see the behaviour and attitude of this "judge" and "atty" Mattei, they starkly remind me of the EXACT attitudes and content of character of the guards & SS at Auschwitz. This IS how it begins.
For all the disrespect Judge Barbara Bellis and her courtroom receive daily from Alex Jones, I would and she should Hold that Obese Mammoth, Alex Jones, IN CONTEMPT OF COURT and [Cage] his Fat-@$$ over a weekend!
Clearcreek prosecutors "let's get this thing moving "
Money hungry families who instead of mourning their children's, they want to prosecute a man who had nothing to do with their deaths for $$$$. I hope Alex Jones wins, appeals, and takes this all the way up to the supreme court.
Alex Jones is innocent that's why the powers will be are trying their best to attack Infowars and shut down Infowars because they are effective
Sandy hook shooting staged??? He is wacked . People died He should Pay them all of his money and lose have a gag order permanently to broadcast anything
Based Alex
They are actors
