RE: Alex Jones being sued by parents of Sandy Hook Victims
Do death threats count as legally injurious?

I think they do. Who made death threats?

It does if what the plaintiff suing for, can't be proven. See Jor's post on this.

No it doesn't. Jor is correct that you need to prove damages in order to win a defamation suite. But regardless of whether that is possible or not, this is still a civil suit which means it has absolutely nothing to do with the 1st amendment.

As for the damages? If I understand the process correctly, you don't have to convince a judge in the matter, you have to convince a jury. A jury full of schmucks who aren't even smart enough to know how to get out of jury duty. Seems to me, if you stack that jury full of people who have had a child or who know someone who has had a child, or who have met a child themselves at some point during their adult lives, you might have too tough of a time convincing them that the pain and suffering these parents experienced was made worse by the repeated public claims that they were faking the whole thing.

Still seems like it'll be a tough case to win. But I don't think it'll be impossible.

Seems to me that the miserable fucktard has already consulted a lawyer.

Quote:Alex Jones, Backtracking, Now Says Sandy Hook Shooting Did Happen

Quote:Talk show host Alex Jones has responded to a lawsuit from the parents of two children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. Jones has repeatedly claimed on his website, Infowars, that the shooting was staged.

In a YouTube video, Jones said he now believes the shooting really happened, and that the families are being used by the Democratic Party and the news media. Jones invited the parents onto his program for a discussion about guns.

In the past, Jones has repeatedly claimed the shooting was staged and that parents of children who died in the shooting are actors.

Scum-sucking pig.


Just think about the jury appeal of the bolded part.

??? See the Phelps example.

Alex Jones isn't the only nut. The NRA leadership has used fear to pit society against cops and cops to fear society.
