The families of Sandy Hook school shooting victims voted overwhelmingly in favor of a plan to wrap up Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings by liquidating the right wing talk show host’s assets.

    after the things he’s done to those families.

    It’s been a while since I read up on it, what things are you referring to?

    Edit: hey, sorry for not being American and hearing about this stuff nonstop like Americans do. I’m truly sorry for asking a genuine question.

      From https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/12/alex-jones-sandy-hook-shooting/ (the first hit in my Google results):

      Within hours of the shooting, Jones was telling his audience that it was staged as a pretext for confiscating guns. Within days, he began to suggest that grieving parents were actors. In the years that followed, he repeatedly said the massacre was faked.

      The families testified during the trial that the lies spread by Jones led to harassment and threats by conspiracy theorists who have accused them of faking their own children’s deaths. They described feeling unsafe in their own homes and hypervigilant in public. Some of the families moved away from Newtown.

      If you have ever read up on it, I don’t think it’s changed much since the last time you did.

        Ok, I read up on it after I posted my comment. Truth is I have a porous memory (yes that’s a thing) and forgot specifics on topics from things like the news. I’m not American so that kind of news isn’t front and center all the time like it is there.

        As soon as I read it it clicked though. For whatever reason, I thought there was something else that happened that I didn’t know about.
