Gotta love the 1-2 punch by the insurance lobby of large scale jury prejudicing over decades and damage caps.

Awesome that Reynal got to repeatedly contort the truth in his closing about how the plaintiff case was all about punishment which is next phase without the punchline that the next phase is pretty worthless.

We’ve repeatedly posted the relevant law in this thread. Punitive damage caps are a thing in 20+ states. It’s absolutely awful and complete bullshit but here we are.

"It’s absolutely awful and complete bullshit but here we are." Just copy/paste that into every discussion about our modern world at this point, imo.

No he wasn't, that's just out of context bullshit posted by a far right provocateur and additionally has nothing to do with the case.

Alex Jones was saying that the judge of the trial he was involved in was part of a government sex trafficking ring. The plaintiff lawyer just pointed out that Alex Jones said that on air, shortly after leaving the court room the day before.
You obviously didn't watch it. Where are you getting your information?

Did you know they found child sexual abuse images on Alex Jones phone?

To be clear i hope jones gets hosed with this and i dont care about jack posobeic, but that lawyer running that line of questioning like there’s no evidence of pedophilia among politicians after Epstein’s murder not to mention his close affiliation with the Clinton’s and trump’s is loving insane. Again how did he not see that coming

It's also funny because in one of the depositions Bankston, the lawyer in the video above, actually says to Jones that he agrees with him on the Epstein non-suicide and that most mainstream media is utter garbage. It's just that absolutely none of that excuses anything Jones does and also Jones does not actually care about any of that stuff outside of using it to make money.

Just think, all this could have been avoided if he'd promoted the much superior conspiracy theory that the government murdered those kids, rather than the lame one that hundreds of people had been paid off to lie about murdered kids.

Has the american government done assassinations in the past? Yeah, loads of people believe that. Has the american government done research into drugs, brain washing, and mind control? Probably, yeah. Pretty easy to spin up a conspiracy that the government brainwashed a troubled young man to do the deed, and made sure he died so he could never talk about what happened. "The FBI tricked a young man into doing a terrorism" is pretty believable.

Having your loony followers harassing grieving parents looks real bad. But your loony followers harassing the FBI? That's gonna get a shrug.

If the clip is from the portion of the trial that I think it's from, then that line of questioning was specifically about whether Alex believed that the presiding judge and DCS were involved in pedophilia / human trafficking.

And the whattaboutist rhetorical technique that Alex uses is his default response to anything, like "yeah so I lied about Sandy Hook but what about the time when the New York Times lied about WMD's"

If that was the message those dudes wouldn't be glued to their speakers and organizing harassment campaigns against the FBI, they'd be yawning and changing the channel, it'd be worse for Infowars than the most punitive possible damages any court could hand down. There's no novelty there; half of Jones's target audience watches drone and body cam footage of feds killing kids for fun and the children of some Connecticut libs aren't meaningfully realer to them than the children of some Afghan randos.

The last few years have seen a number of Sandy Hook freaks outed and profiled and their motivations are pretty straightforward. These are not people who are invested in risking their own lives or comfort to fight the power, they're just bored sadists. The government is big and scary, and they know perfectly well if they gently caress with it it'll gently caress them back. But the parents of some murdered kids whose story reflected poorly on their gun collection have no power, any rear end in a top hat can just pass the time making those folks' lives hell as an evil little hobby. Dress that up as a cause, build a little community out of it where people can swap grieving moms' personal info and discuss how they'd like to torture them, now you've got a captive audience hot to buy your brain pills

bees are one thing, yellowjackets are a type of wasp and right fuckers. some things that make them terrifying:

- bees sting once and then die, yellowjackets do not - they can, and do, sting forever
- wasps have facial memory and if you piss them off, will remember you and will FOLLOW YOU and you specifically
- when they die they let off a chemical that attracts and then enrages any other yellowjackets nearby into an attack frenzy. there is currently no known way to wash or deal with this chemical receptor - and it can take like 2-4 days to dissipate. I read one story about a yellowjacket randomly dying just outside someone's front door and they basically couldn't enter their house from the front for two days, that doorway was a buzzing no-go yellowjacket warzone

stay away from yellowjackets, friends
