I've had to listen to my workplace idiot talk all day about this poo poo and how the feminists are to blame since Alex Jones is standing up for the children like a real man should.

Facebook, Twitter, amazon, Alex loving Jones, name a single thing in the last 20 years from the demon nation that hasn't been a scourge of humanity.

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

Dang, that makes sense.

This is loving stupid and you should feel embarrassed for posting trash like this from a known poo poo-peddler like Posobiec just because he namedropped Epstein. The full video is right there, freely available on Youtube, but I transcribed the whole exchange just for you.

Mark Bankston: "One of the things you've been talking about recently on your show, even within the past couple months, is your allegation that government officials are aiding in pedophilia, child trafficking, and the grooming of children, right?"
Alex Jones: "You mean like what Jeffery Epstein did, with the Clintons?"
MB: "Sure! If that's a yes. Is that a yes?"
AJ: "Uh, yes."
MB: "Okay. And, on Thursday, you and Infowars started connecting those allegations to our judge, didn't you?"
AJ: "No."
MB: "In fact, Mr. Jones, you're telling the world not to believe what happens in this courtroom because the judge worked with Child Protective Services — who you say is involved with pedophilia and child trafficking. Correct?"
AJ: "Not all of it, but it's... the Texas Youth Commission got caught doing it and a lot, there's been a lot of that here."
MB: "I'm not asking you that, Mr. Jones. I'm asking you: you were telling the world not to believe what's happening in this trial because THIS judge is involved with CPS, who is working with child traffickers and pedophilia. Correct?"
AJ: "No, that's not what I'm saying."
MB: "Okay. Your Honor, at this time, we would like to show a clip from Mr. Jones's show on Thursday where those words are said."

Are you paying attention? It's capped.

Bill Ogden (/u/BilliamWogs here on reddit) has also been on Discord (billyOhhhhh#7059) a little after the verdict and answered some questions. I'll quote his posts in full below:

We tried as hard as we could. I wish so badly that we could’ve done better than $4.1m. You guys were an Amazing supporting cast, and we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done to help and support us.

As some of you have already posted, because of the award, our punitive cap is $750k

Cap is $750k. He was sanctioned $1.5m on top of the $4.1, and Reynal will likely be facing another sanctions order before this case concludes.

Once the jury is released, I can disclose the reason for the number. With that said, punitive damages must be unanimous.

Compensatory isn't capped, that's the one competent thing Jones' lawyer did trying to convince the jury that these compensatory damages shouldn't be much

Punitive damages are capped at 750k (possibly plus some multiplier of compensatory)

Yeah the 300m/year number is something that’s just…hmm. There is no answer that helps me sleep at night, is there?

I think the positive takeaway is that the number (or whatever real number the professional bean counters land on) is the same regardless of who knows anything about it. The difference is that now that it is public information, it is also known to the lawyers representing plaintiffs in the two upcoming trials, plus whatever potential future trials spring from his perjury and whatever else is on the phone.

The number sucks and nothing may come of it because lol justice system, but it being public knowledge is objectively better than not knowing about it.

That’d be loving hilarious if somehow that’s the one accidentally truthful thing Jones has said. I doubt it, but holy moly what a twist.

Cross your fingers that whatever the final amount is, they try to make him pay up fast, before he can have another sale or call up his mysterious benefactor, because I bet he doesn’t have a lot of ready cash to pay the judgement with and having to liquidate some assets might at least inconvenience him

Doesn't matter, he's going to get more than the damages donated by buttcoin.

Unless he becomes so toxic he loses all backers and he can't grift at all this will likely just make him more money.

I wonder if he was clever enough that the "2mil will sink us" line was for his viewers rather than the jury.

But yeah he's gonna profit from this. "I hate asking folks, you know I do, but we're doing Gods work here and they're tryin' to shut us down. If we don't get $10 million in donations by the end of September we're gonna have to close up shop."

Yeah this would be pretty much the best even slightly possible ending, that somehow with all the lawsuits and fallout from the phone stuff he loses a lot of support and just fades away, and everyone just forgets about him after a while. As popular as infowars is, there's been plenty of other right wing grifters who have lost favor for what ever reason and just been forgotten incredibly quickly.

Multiplier is only for economic damages, the damages awared were non-economic. Alex Jones will only get 0-750k in punitive damages.

I wouldn't get my hopes up; I think he absolutely could face jail time, because he lied in his deposition and the opposing counsel produced evidence that his statements were categorically untrue, but according to law people perjury is almost never pursued.

Considering who is on there, I will not be surprised if they attempt to make possession of it illegal. I mean this is the internet and the law never bothered catching up so there's no real way they could stop it but they will try!

Oh god this is actually the event that causes the great US firewall and we make a new internet and run a completely new network to get around this because legally it isn't the internet!
