Alex Jones ordered to pay another $45m to parents

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay another $45.2m (£37.4m) to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim, a jury has ruled.

He was ordered to pay $4.1m (£3.3m) in damages by a jury on Thursday to the parents of six-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed in the school massacre in 2012.

Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis successfully sued Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems, for defamation in October 2021.

The Infowars radio programme host had repeatedly claimed the deadliest school shooting in US history was a hoax and staged by gun-control activists using actors.

I wonder if the NRA will pay this for him? Cheap at the price for the pro-gun lobby, I would think.

Seems to be where we're headed now.  Don't question anything. Follow the narrative. Keep in your lane.  For the common good.

Is that what you call committing perjury?
