Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly a BILLION dollars to the families of Sandy Hook victims

[vantexan]

So no one.
Okay buddy.
Carry on.

Wow, you really stung me there. You're whole argument has been Dems are using the term conspiracy theory as a way to shut down criticism about what they're doing. My whole argument is that there are conspiracies floating on both sides, and you can't necessarily say the Dems are claiming such on the Right to shut them down when there are so many on the Right who are actually saying this stuff. And I'm saying we have real world problems that need to be solved, which have been mostly created by the current administration, and we should be focusing on getting them solved instead of dreaming up all kinds things that almost always eventually run their course and then they're on to the next one. It doesn't fix anything, just gives some people comfort that they're clued in to what's really happening. And makes conservatives look bad.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Sure have. Every time you guys don't get your way on something you declare the whole thing unconstitutional.

I don’t think I’ve ever said I didn’t get my way I just told you the agency is unconstitutional thank you for the strawman and gaslighting.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Apparently banning bump stocks was within their power.

Oh so now you believe in judicial supremacy as well? I was unaware they make laws on the judicial side.

 

[Thebrownblob]

And yet they exist. I think you should pack your satchel and head to Washington to argue your point before SCOTUS.

I love it keep showing the true you, do you like being told what to do by people who are unelected and who can decide to hear or not hear your case on there whims? Never mind if the constitution is actually followed. I mean after all it was the supreme court that said abortions were legal for 50 years I mean they did fix it but it only took 50 years that’s OK right? No one was actually harmed here right? It was the law of the land right? Because the Supreme Court makes laws? We can count on those unelected people who are placed there for life to do the right thing. There’s absolutely no need to go through the proper steps for bills and laws will just use The supreme court. They are your masters. They can decide. Screw your liberty, screw your freedom, screw the constitution. But somewhere down the road maybe they’ll admit they’re wrong and throw you a bone.

No, I never mentioned the substance of the conspiracy theory, because I don't think it's relevant to having the right to talk about it.

This is my "argument":

There's only one party that is saying conspiracy theories are dangerous and we should shut down free speech.

This is your response:

I'm saying both sides are guilty.

I'm asking you to give me one example of a conservative trying to take away someone's freedom of speech.

I mean I'm sure you'll come up with something if you stop deflecting.

True, if Alex Jones gets shut down by this, democracy as we know it will end.

Oh no. Not democracy. Lol. Sounds like democracy ed him this time.

 

[sailfish]

A well regulated militia in the 2nd Amendment means you can have guns and the government can regulate them. Never heard of the ATF?

ATF can eat a dick.

 

[sailfish]

I can't believe anyone would say something like that.... out loud ?

Wow.

Truly embarrassing.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Oh no. Not democracy. Lol. Sounds like democracy ed him this time.

Pure democracy is just mob rule.

 

[El Correcto]

Imagine how big the fine would of been if that school actually got shot up.

 

[vantexan]

Oh no. Not democracy. Lol. Sounds like democracy ed him this time.

You do know that was sarcasm, right?

 

[vantexan]

Oh so now you believe in judicial supremacy as well? I was unaware they make laws on the judicial side.

I believe they upheld a law made on the legislative side.

I can't find that power of congress in Article I Section 8.

If I'm elected president in 2024, I pledge to overhaul the ATF and turn it into a chain of convenience stores. Bastiatian 2024

Gang rape is literally democracy.

Pretty much what I said.

Jones is being ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars because some other people—who were not acting under any orders from Jones—allegedly committed some crimes on their own. It’s difficult to see, then, how Jones actually inflicted any actual damages on his supposed “victims” in this case. If people have harassed the parents, of course, that’s a crime for which the actual harassers are responsible. The real guilty parties here are the people who have committed acts of harassment. But it appears that Jones has been convicted here of simply saying things that the jury and the plaintiffs found objectionable.

Absolutely that decision was not decided to be against Alex Jones it was against everyone, and free-speech. it’s a soft Tyranny, everyone just keep your mouth shut because you might get sued and lose everything or be socially outcast, even though you’ve done nothing wrong. Alex Jones is a Big mouth idiot. I thought everyone knew that. But his speech is protected because he did not incite anyone to do anything.
