Yeah, but some of the Sandy Hook videos have millions of views. And it's not a strong case at all. In fact exactly the reverse. There is a lot of precident for free speech laws in the U.S. and I can you cite a single case where someone was successfully sued for promoting a conspiracy theory that lots of other people also promote.
If the family proved damages (which they could), they'd have to prove the people were motivated by Jones, rather than one of the hundreds of other people who promote the sandy hook conspiracy (which they couldn't.)
I wouldn't be surprised if they won in a lower court, but they would never win in the supreme court. You guys seem to be caught up on the idea that he's accusing them of a crime, but that really doesn't matter at all. Elsewise think of all the people who could sue different conspiracy theorists. Every conspiracy theory accuses people of a crime.
