The only thing I disagree with is punitive damages which are out of all proportion to the loss incurred. Punitive damages are only allowed in limited circumstances in my country, England, and they are still limited to some connection between the wrong and the alleged loss.
Make no mistake though, Jones is a scumbag. If he had followed the rules the other side would have had to prove actual malice. He did not follow the rules and he lost because of it.
Alex Jones deserved to be punished. He was the subject of a default judgment due to litigation misconduct. He did not answer questions or comply with discovery. After he lost and had damages awarded against him, the bankruptcy court found he could not discharge many of his debts in bankruptcy due to "wilful or malicious injury".

No real loss was incurred by those frauds, nor are they in any legitimate way victimized by being disbelieved.
If anything, persecuting Jones to this extent proves beyond doubt that the supposed shooting was a hoax.
To summarize, get fucked.
My mistake. I'll correct what I said above. Get fucked in the ass.
I think Lethn's back...
Holy shit don't bully people. That's against the rules.
