Sandy Hook Trial - Where is Justice

I need to say this and I know that is going to sound crazy.

It's been nearly 10 years since 20 six and seven year old children and their 6 teachers were murdered at the local elementary school.

Alex Jones has made a career spinning a wild conspiracy that it was 'fake', that the children were actors, the blood wasn't real, the kids never existed, no bodies were buried by grieving parents, etc.

He has moved money around different shell companies, declared bankruptcy and; to this day continues to scream bombastic lies every F'ing day on his radio program.

Ten years. Ten years that moms, dads, grandparents, siblings are subjected to insults and attacks that THEY are lying. They live in fear, they are threatened, there are cruel memes about them and their kids across the internet.

And the trial of Alex Jones is a civil trial. A defamation trial. The worst-case for him is that he will loose millions of dollars. But, we know that he can scam the Qanon crowd for the next 30 years and get all that money back and more.

He is evil. He is full of darkness. And he gets to live. NO.
I want him to endure every horrible, ghastly, cruel method of execution from the Medieval period.
And even if that is possible, it will never erase the terror that he is inflicted on those families.

The piece of shit has been hiding money offshore and transferring his assets to his family and associates. He will deny it, of course

He will declare that all he's got is $2000 and a Hyundai

No matter what happens to him in court, the pain and suffering that he has caused can not be undone. He knew this as he spouted his hate-filled lies. If he comes out of the process with his shirt still on his back then the legal system has failed the parents. Jones is the perfect example of how far some people are willing to go for fame and money. He should have an oversized statue in the Republican hall of fame.

Yup, 'justice delayed is justice denied.'
Regarding Alex - yes, he's a very bad man - very bad, but wishing him
ill just stresses me out. I've written him off. I wouldn't piss on
his head if his hair were on fire.
