3M fined $800M for essentially pumping Teflon into the water supply. What Alex Jones did was worse than that.

Not clicking any of your propaganda.

I don't care if Alex Jones shit on someone's chest.

Being forced to pay out 1 Billion dollars is fucking insane and it was obviously politically motivated, which is a slap in the face of fair and impartial justice.

Welcome to the American court system, curious that it takes Alex Jones getting fined to make you notice this trend

And not the thousands of previous times it's happened where a person gets a heavier sentence for the same crime as another due to the color of their skin

Almost $1 billion because he said things that hurt someone's feelings?

You don't get in that much trouble for yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater. He didn't assault them, he didn't scam them out of their life savings, he didn't defame their character.

He said things they found hurtful.

I don't agree with the asshole one bit but wtf kind of judgement is this??

This will be appealed and the egregious jury decision drastically reduced.

See this is the problem with juries in the modern day. Nobody, and I mean nobody, will be neutral.

I may border on hating Alex Jones (I don't like to hate anyone, I mean genuinely hate) but I'm hating this decision even more. Really bad precedent it's setting.

Not exactly, from the responses I have read it had more to do with his "followers" who went out to peoples homes and harassed them. Some claim there were death threats.

It's that thing where if you are a person of influence that "followers" are your responsibility.

The Shepherd and his flock.

Edit question: Why do people not "follow" those they dislike and want removed, you know.. do things in their name.

So because some mentally ill people that listened to him went to peoples' homes he's responsible for them? Did he like directly tell them to do that? Or did they take it upon themselves to do it?

Until information is released that tells me how he is guilty of other peoples' harassment and death threats I will disagree with this inflated judgement.
