Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.

    Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He’ll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.

    How much divisiveness did he cause?
    How many screaming arguments?
    How many families did he break up?
    How many bar room fights?
    How much pain for grieving parents?

    Fuck him, he’s a cunt.

      According to other comments here, referring to OJ’s case, this is not likely to happen.

        OK, point taken. He’ll have sufficient funds to live a comfortable life (which is disgraceful for a bankrupt individual). But at least there’s the satisfaction in knowing he won’t get it all.

        Apologies for the misunderstanding. I’m from the UK where it’s tougher to game the bankruptcy laws and you need to lie before court.
