Hankenhunter Posted January 12, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Finally a Friday news dump with some good news for a change. If I wasn't deaf I would be listening to Anne Murrey's song "sure could use a little good news today" 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're just saying that to divert attention from Alex Jones's scandal here, but apart from that I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if we would get to the point where people would be punished for doing stuff like this on social media. People who deliberately spread things they know to be false to further their agenda, incite people, rewrite history, or otherwise promote their twisted beliefs. If you stand back there really isn't that much difference between Alex Jones and some random guy on Facebook or YouTube if the stuff the post is just made up lies that hurt people.

bee Posted January 12, 2019 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2019 IMO it is naive to believe that Alex Jones is being hounded from Social Media and PayPal etc because of what he said about Sandy Hook (and if I remember right I think he made an retraction and issued an apology - also an in depth explanation behind what he said and why..except all that has been removed from Youtube etc now) He is being demonized for political reasons - in the same way that Trump is being demonized - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first amendment gives freedom of speech but not freedom of consequence. Alex got the ball rolling and the sheep followed. He did not threaten those people personally, but those who did should be caught and prosecuted. Threatening people is just not on.

Hence why they should all be up in court. What ever brought these morons to take what he said to another level, apart from their stupidity and bullying. ( reckon i just answered that myself right there). I do not think there is a law against being stupid, but there is for their actions and it needs to be sorted out, in the court room.

No need to lock them up for being internet bullies, just remove their mobile phones and computers. Most of them are not rich dudes who can buy a new phone or computer each time it gets confiscated, they are of below average intelligence who can not contribute anything of value to society, so have chosen to be a bullies instead and threaten others. As to those who cause physical confrontations towards the families and survivors, there are laws against that and they should be in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think wealth has little to do with it. Take the bully-in-cheif himself, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a natural born bully. I mean, no doubt those on either economic extremes are more likely to become bullies, given one bullies others cause they feel superior due to privilege, whereas the other overcompensates for lack of privilege by bullying others. But the general mentality of bullying itself is just something that applies to various people of all social classes and systems. 10 minutes ago, freetoroam said: As to those who cause physical confrontations towards the families and survivors, there are laws against that and they should be in jail. Absolutely. I'm not against going after Alex Jones, but don't just go after him. It takes a special kind of low life to attack the victims of such tragedies... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
