Sandy Hook Father To Alex Jones: 'I'm Not Backing Down'

The father of a slain Sandy Hook Elementary student has a message for Alex Jones: He’s ready to take him down.

“To say that Sandy Hook was a hoax and it never happened, its an outright lie,” Neil Heslin told NBC’s Today Show host Megyn Kelly Thursday. “It’s a total disrespect to myself, my son, the individuals who lost their lives that day. It extends so much further than that. It’s disrespect to the community, to law enforcement, to the first responders. It’s not right. And it needs to stop.”

Heslin’s six-year-old son was gunned down in December 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut, along with 19 other small children and six adults.

Jones has peddled a false narrative for years on his website, Infowars, claiming the shooting was a hoax. In lawsuits filed Monday and first reported by HuffPost, Heslin and two other parents are now suing Jones for defamation. The parents are each seeking more than $1 million in damages.

He's put them through years of extra suffering, including continuous harassment and even death threats. He should be left in ruins when they're done with him.

But no, we live in America, and have this thing called "the 2nd amendment", and paranoid gun nuts afraid that the government is coming to take them away. So what do we get as a result of children getting slaughtered? More guns than people.

If nothing else to make a lot InfoWars addicts wake up. Especially if he is forced to admit he was just a "performance artist" and he made it up, like he had to with his custody battle.

sure there will be some that are convinced every single judge in the country is working for the deep state Democrats, or that Alex Jones must have been threatened with his life if he said otherwise, but I'm sure he'll lose a lot of his CT street cred.
