IIRC those damages are just the compensatory damages. They haven't gotten to the punitive damages yet
Kalcibonie
And why isnt he going to jail? i mean the judge could just strip him forcefully of his accounts and take his buildings to sell.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Fuck Alex Jones and fuck anyone who supports him...
llamprey
Bring him down financially. Ruin his business. But not w/ bullets. Unless he happens to put himself in the way of a bullet. That'd be sad.
GraceMcClain
I wish he'd just fucking drop dead.
YouEatYellowSnow
Just as bad as this guy are the worms still sending him money and buying his products.
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Someone needs to shoot him until his bloated corpse pops like a balloon.
Ryukaa
While i do not condone someone shooting him, if it happens the person should claim the shooting was a hoax
johnvilnis
Can the families apply for a court order to prevent him from making any claims about sandy hook being a false flag or their lost kids?
CouldntCakeLess
Tar, feathers and exile into orbit.
Rodenbeard
How about bullets instead? Or maybe just fire instead of feathers.
TheMadOnion
Nah too fast, stick him in a sensory deprivation chamber for a week, then waterlog him, then scapism until he is barely alive, then burning.
weidermeijer
The last part is REALLY expensive. You can chain a Chevy engine block to him and drop him in the Mariana Trench
MrCroupAndMrVandemar
Tow-straps, boulder, cast into the sea.
Mewlies
Mouth sewn shut, seared close, and made to eat with a feeding tube in a hole made by a AR-15 for Irony.
4vie
Don't. It's not worth the potential Kessler Syndrome....
ataradov
He has no intention of paying anything, so unless he is jailed, why would he stop?
hotdudecurator
You don't need intention for the court to seize funds and assets
LoopStricken
You'd think a BILLION DOLLARS would be enough to deplatform this cunt.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
He realizes that his show is viewable by the court, yeah..?
notblubber
This just in - School shooting victims' families vow to keep terrorizing Alex Jones.
bourbonandbaddecisions
Keep litigating. Keep him tied up in court. Sue for his IPs. Takeaway info wars and his snake oils companies.
BenderSaysNeat
Hats off to the author of the article. Well written. Good vocabulary.
clarkWhogotsanity
I hope this gets brought up during the appeal and raises the victims award amounts
Layinginbed
Sounds like he needs a 5150
hippietown
Put this guy in prison already please…
CurbYourClassWar
Gryphonosiris
He doesn't have a choice about paying: if he refuses they will seize his assets and sell them off at auction.
SalmonMax
And of course he dectuples down on it. I guess being (in)famous is more important than being rich. It's nauseating that so many buy into it.
GamiCross
At this point it's like watching bad parents let an undisciplined child just run wild and break everything.
NewHopeAnnex
The reason he will keep this up is because people keep supporting him and sending money for whatever trash he sells. GREED.
Mindshard
In case anyone didn't catch it, he's trying to recreate the torture of the families by starting on saying Uvalde was fake, too.

"I felt like destroying something beautiful."
tarnok
Alex Jones ain't beautiful so it's just punching shit
knudude
Bojovnik84
Start seizing assets until he just has a can and a cardboard box.
mksu
Terrible people rarely stop being terrible unless forced to stop by someone else.
EggFooYung
Get the families together and do an Orient Express.
BlazeMarshall
Important note: punishment and a direct order to stop do not constitute force in this case.
CurbYourClassWar
Key word being forced.
MaybeAcat
Force him with swords
DeadeicPrints
With a bat.
kevbot5000
That's the plot for the Harley Quinn cartoon, right?
SLCtechie
With rusty nails in it

MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
Shining example of how monetary punishment doesn't count as punishment for rich people.
MakimasFavoriteTie
leperoutcastunclean
Rich people can afford to find ways to not pay.
eetsumkaus
it kinda does if it takes everything they have. I doubt Alex Jones is a billionaire so this will bankrupt him into obscurity
ChloePrice
It won't. He'll just use external resources to fund his endeavours. Conservatives made the rules so they can exploit them. Lock him up.
eetsumkaus
he's almost certainly in contempt, and losing his money will get rid of his get out of jail card. So yes, kinda
NegimaSensei
Also you figure eventually *someone* will stop paying his bills and count him as too much of a liability.
Ilikestyx
Too bad he can't die in a mass shooting
Rodenbeard
It does t even need to be mass. Some good samaritan could blow his head off and we could all insist it never happened.
UnorthodoxLady
The odds get better every day
Iblamemyparentstoo
Can't he???
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Oh. Someone could arrange that.
newsguycraigevans
There's always tomorrow
kadaeux
I mean, he can, nothing is really stopping you. It’s America so it’s probably not even hard to make happen. Just don’t though.
Fasrill
I'm not saying I want this to happen, but imagine the irony if the next CPAC gets hit with a mass shooting.
newsguycraigevans
That would be... awful. Simply... awful.
kadaeux
Nothing is going to get done about mass shootings until they become the victims of them….
CrisprCAS
As he was almost certainly ordered to cease commenting on the families, this should be contempt of court.
MurasakiArt55
Nah more like straight to the chair.
Merky600
If he did something so foolish as to cause his rotund self to land in prison, I’d just feel safer in the world.
Tumescentpie
Two justice systems. If one of us tried this shit we'd be in jail for 30+ days for contempt and be facing legal issues for lying in court.
LAMovieDesign
We need clarification if this is true, because it’d be fucking great. I hope this piece of shit does in a studio apartment in Stockton, CA.
ENCHANTMEN
Sounds like the families of other shootings might have cause to sue too :/
SuperfluousMeh
The Marjory Stone(sp?) Douglas survivors should follow suit with Marjorie Taylor green. She has been terrible to those people.
ArcadiaBerger
Marjory Stoneman Douglas is the correct name of the school, I'm pretty sure, and the correct name for the "Representative" is #Marge.
PoliticalWanderer
Seems to me like some version of criminal harassment, stalking, and incitement to violence as well.
ArcadiaBerger
In that case, let's see him Go. To. Prison.
BernieKl
He was ordered to stop talking about the Sandy Hook families that sued. Unfortunately, he can talk about other families from other shootings
Baltzdelirium
That'd be amazing
Iliketacos42
I Googled "Can Alex Jones be court ordered to stop his show" the autocomplete was "to take medication" too funny.
boxak
He also said he believes that it wasn't a hoax so wouldn't he also be committing perjury?
NegimaSensei
Apparently 1 billion dollars isn't enough of a penalty for him. Guess we could double it or turn that into jail years.
TawdryArt
Can't broadcast from jail. Let's hope it's that one.
OhIfIMust
Yeah, judges do have the authority to tell you to STF right U on specific things, and I sure hope he gets ALL the books thrown at him.
datphone777365
rightwingers being held accountable?! no doubt we will see a working fusion reactor b4 this happens.
Rogahar
I mean, he DID get ordered to pay nearly a billion in damages. That's more than we've seen in a long time.
datphone777365
until thay check clears its still theoretical.
datphone777365
that*
CrisprCAS
We've had working fusion for decades. Net positive energy producing not so much.
datphone777365
i should have been specific to avoid the semantics. but yes.
georgedragonslayer
I like you optimism and pessimism. I can relate.
datphone777365
the thing is, if im right im ready for it if im wrong i lucked out but still ready if it turns to ash down the road. win/win.
