Sandy Hook Families Gain in Defamation Suits Against Alex Jones

"The suits by the Sandy Hook families have advanced on several fronts in recent weeks.

A Texas judge on Jan. 25 ordered Mr. Jones and representatives of his company to submit to questioning by lawyers for Scarlett Lewis, the mother of Jesse Lewis, one of the 20 children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in 2012. The Texas judge also granted access to Mr. Jones’s relevant business records, and denied his lawyer’s motion to keep the records sealed."

I hope the cunt gets what he deserves. He is filth.

Jones is scum. I can't even begin to imagine the misery him and his moronic followers have caused the poor families.

Mark Barden, a plaintiff in the case whose son, Daniel, was killed in the shooting, released a statement Wednesday supporting Bellis's ruling.

“For years, Alex Jones and his co-conspirators have turned the unthinkable loss of our sweet little Daniel and of so many others into advertising dollars and fundraising appeals. It is far beyond time that he be held accountable for the pain his false narratives have caused so many and today’s ruling brings us one step closer to doing that.”

This one might be a false alarm - police say they've been going door to door on campus and haven't found any sign that a weapon has been fired.

I know what you mean. When the Columbine shooting happened (and the documentary) I was shocked. Then Sandy Hook (i really thought that one would change things) and Vegas. Guess a lot of Americans (not all) really love their guns.

A work colleague from Philadelphia had been over for the last couple of weeks. He said that reports of shootings are daily and about as shocking as the weather forecast.

A friend of mine at work is from SoCal and we've talked about this. He's a chilled out guy and he said he grew up with guns and it's just a normal part of their culture. Difficult to appreciate from the outside though.

Yeah, my colleague isn’t a fan of guns at all but it’s accepted as something that just happens.
Much like us with road deaths, I guess.

A train of thought took me this morning on my commute to work. I wanted to read about what happened during the year my paternal grandmother was born.

Gun nuts use that as a reason not to restrict access to their toys

I can't see any record of modern-style school shootings in the 19th-century, though free-shooting cowboys were apparently a hazard in Kansas.

"If guns are banned, bad guys will just use dynamite..." because I'm sure it's still just as easy to buy dynamite as it was in 1926...

oh, they are really inventive at committing mass murder in schools my personal favorite was the African killer bee swarm the right to bear bees.
If somebody is really intent on committing mass slaughter and mayhem Marvin Heemeyer - Wikipedia you probably can't stop them. The Home Gunsmith.

What you can do is stop the impulsive and the evil inadequate most of the US mass shooters did not have the skill motivation or tenacity to build a bomb make their own gun breed honey badgers or killer bees

He's admitted that he was trolling with the AR-15 stuff and wants the legislation to become a gun tax credit bill.

he explained that, actually, he’s just using the insane-sounding legislation to get attention for a much more mundane goal, albeit one that’s equally gross which would get any GOP state legislator puppy at least one pat on the head from their local NRA lobbyist.

I'd hoped he wasn't serious but even that he thought he could pull such a stunt in the current environment is lunatic.

One thing they don't mention in this article is that a lot of these young people have been harassed by people claiming the shooting didn't happen, etc.
