You are ignorant when it comes to the subject of freedom and the rights of the individual. Stop making things up.
No. You're uninformed, not me. There are limits to all of our rights.

Freedom of Speech doesn't give any whack job the right to say anything he feels like saying without suffering any consequences. Alex Jones is that whack job, and he's the perfect example of why we have some limitations on Freedom of Speech.

Yeah, he can say it, but he's going to be held accountable for saying it and hurting people, just like any boob who would yell "Fire!" in a crowded place. Jones purposely hurt those families deeply in order to bring attention to himself.

Enough of the haters like Alex Jones, who think they can slander people and call them liars without any pushback whatsoever from the normal people.
Amen. Now if we can get the media and many of our representatives on both sides of the aisle to embrace this standard we might just have a chance.

Poor Alex!!!

He had to learn the hard way that the truth-value of a claim is not based on how scarily sensational and TV-Movie intriguing-exciting that claim is. Same goes for him learning through hard knocks that tough, macho, cocky, ass-kicking bluster does nothing to make your claim more credible!!! Nor will people believe you just because you promote old fashion mom-and-apple-pie values straight from The Andy Griffith Show.

I would say "Next time, Alex, try using actual facts, actual evidence, actual data, and learn what an actual proper source is before you go around opening your mouth", but the time for that is long, long, past. You're just the little boy who cried wolf. Maybe you can get a job as -- well, I won't insult other's occupations here. You know what kinds of occupations are willing to take on people found libel about very serious matters or guilty of serious breaches of trust.

Probably. But the next nut won't be as careless or become as carried away as Jones.

Losing his temper became Jones' biggest money maker. He tried to use the same tactic to squirm his way out of the civil suit, but now, the Sandy Hook parents have run him to ground and he'll have to pay up.

The next guy will back away before he goes that far. Once Jones was nailed, he opened up a big door for other potential lawsuits against other guys like him.

Exactly. He is a complete nut job and he needs to have his jaw wired shut.

No different from the MSM lies, manipulation and defamation of Kyle Rittenhouse.

I hope he sues everyone -- personally and also corporations -- to send a clear message to Big MSM.

The lies have been atrocious, deliberate and misleading to the public.
