Six families of Sandy Hook victims file defamation suit against Alex Jones.

Six families of victims killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, as well as an FBI agent who responded to the scene, filed a defamation lawsuit today against radio personality Alex Jones, who has repeatedly called the shooting fake.

The lawsuit accuses Jones, a staunch gun rights advocate who operates Infowars, a website that routinely propagates conspiracies, of “a years-long campaign of abusive and outrageous false statements.”

Twenty children and six educators died in the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at the Newtown, Connecticut school.

“While the nation recoiled at the terrible reality of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Alex Jones saw an opportunity,” the families’ attorney Josh Koskoff said. “He went on a sustained attack that has lasted for years, accusing shattered family members of being actors, stating as fact that the shooting itself was a hoax and inciting others to act on these malicious lies.”

I believe another suit was filed a month ago from a different family. Hope they take this asshat to the cleaners.

2. I think with a reasonable judge they will prevail.

It is not going to be difficult to prove emotional damages caused by that loser.

3. EXCELLENT NEWS, ed!!! Yes, another family brought a suit against him not long ago, and he was

on camera waffling and rephrasing or - well, lying, trying to walk back his bullshit -

About damn time he takes his medicine like a big boy

Thanks for posting this, ed!!

4. I hope he dies alone and broke.

I hope this ruins him beyond ruination. I hope he experiences the pain that these families feel. In spades.

I would give me grim satisfaction to testify to the agony my co-worker endures every single day of his life.
