Parents of Sandy Hook Murder Victims Sue Alex Jones in Court for Defamation

Parents of Sandy Hook Murder Victims Sue Alex Jones in Court for Defamation


The parents of two children who died in the Sandy Hook massacre have filed defamation lawsuits against Infowars founder Alex Jones over his false claims that the 2012 school shooting was was staged. Lawyers for the parents say Jones’ conspiracy theories—including the false assertion that the parents of dead children are “crisis actors”—have led to death threats against them.

To DU about whether or not this was possible. I have no legal background but do have a degree in journalism and did study libel in school. It seemed to me that everything Alex Jones had done in this case was a violation of libel laws. Pretty much all of DU's resident so-called experts told me it was impossible and that I was a fool for thinking that it was possible and that I was arrogant for thinking that if it was possible then why haven't he parents done it by now. Well, waddaya know?

Thank you Sandy Hook parents, for not only finally standing up to Alex Jones but for reminding me that a lot of DU's wannabe experts are anything but.

The crisis actors/false flag claims started rolling in right after the massacre occurred.

Then I read the article; these poor parents were tormented for five years ! I would have had a nervous breakdown over it.

They can certainly prove a pattern of harassment now, in my non-legal opinion.

I hope Alex Jones gets his ass handed to him!
