Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars to Sandy Hook families in additional damages
https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/10/media...ges/index.html

A Connecticut judge on Thursday ordered right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay an additional $473 million in punitive damages over the lies he told about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis awarded the families over $323 million in common law punitive damages for attorney’s fees and costs and $150 million in damages under a state law called the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, which prohibits unfair competition and deceptive acts.

“The record also establishes that the defendants repeated the conduct and attacks on the plaintiffs for nearly a decade, including during the trial, wanton, malicious, and heinous conduct that caused harm to the plaintiffs,” Bellis said in her decision. “This depravity, and cruel, persistent course of conduct by the defendants establishes the highest degree of reprehensibility and blameworthiness.”

Why is this clown still running his mouth on his idiot podcast? Everything he will ever earn from now on will go to these plaintiffs.

Besides pissing him off royally, most wingnuts get their "news" from Fox and follow their lead. That's how Trump won in 2016, after all.

A few wingnuts I know well all watch Faux 24/7 and only Faux. And none of them can think for themselves, so that should be the easy part.

How the so called Faux personalities like Tucker or the rabble rousers on social media will pivot remains to be seen. Calling Trump a loser is perhaps quickest and easiest.

What about Bannon's, Liars Social or the EAB type radio networks? These groups will not bend nor sway that easily especially since their listeners operate at a few notches below Faux TV audience.

Domestic terrorism expert fears new wave of right-wing violence

ALBANY, NY — Just in time for the midterm postmortem, terrorism expert and professor Victor Asal has completed the scary task of deep diving into menacing rabbit holes. He examined 567 domestic anti-government organizations gathered into a database over two years.

The mystery Asal was tasked with solving: What factors are the most reliable predictor that a group would use violence against civilians?

Asal examined the 567 groups collected over the years in his database. Interestingly, the commonality most of them shared was that regional law enforcement was monitoring them already when the groups used violence. Asal found that far-right groups were more likely to use violence than others. And they are also more influential and plentiful.

START counted groups with a radical anti-government stance from 1948 to 2018 and found 977 far-right radicals with 511 Islamist groups a distant second followed by a puny 374 far-left groups and 364 that embrace only one issue, like abortion.
