From Axios, “A jury in Texas ordered far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting $45.2 million in punitive damages for falsely calling the mass shooting a hoax.” Really?!?! The families asked for $150 million, and the jury returned with a third of that. You know. Punitive damages are supposed to be punishment and a deterrent. Instead, the jury delivered a message that hate speech can be costly but not ruinous — to the hate speech and conspiracy theorist peddler, that is. For the targets of hate speech are ruined — ask the families. So, congratulations, to those f***tard jurors! They basically said that peddlers of hate and stupidity may continue with their lies, conspiracy theories, and propaganda; they just need to raise the prices on the End Times products and dick pills they hawk to their idiot, gullible listeners to cover future legal expenses and judgments. Welcome to stupid America — we’ll never get it because we like the hate speech!
