    A Texas jury has decided to penalize Alex Jones with $45.2 million in punitive damages in a lawsuit filed by the parents of Sandy Hook shooting victim Jesse Lewis.

    Plaintiffs Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis were awarded a total of just under $50 million in both compensatory and punitive damages. Of the total $49.3 million, the $45.2 million in punitive damages may be reduced due to Texas statute.

    The jurors began deliberating around 12:30 pm CT on Friday, after Judge Maya Guerra Gamble reminded them that in a default judgment against him Jones was already found liable for defamation and "intentional infliction of emotional distress" against Lewis and Heslin.

    Another news that makes my day.

    It couldn't have happened to a better guy.

    Considering that there are other pending cases of the same type against this dangerous lunatic, the chances that he will be bankrupt are 100%.

    You have tens of millions stuffed in the bank that we don’t know about? I highly doubt it. Alex Jones has a huge following and support base. He’s not that old either. Whatever he loses, he will make tens of millions more as a few decades go on. Sucks, huh?

    Holy crap.... that's the 8 digit announcement I was looking for.

    The Texiban may be able to reduce that sum, but when a similar ruling comes against this dirtbag in Connecticut, I'm guessing it'll hold...

    He may try to hide assets until he's worm food, but there'll be lawyers hounding him and his hidden loot until that glorious day arrives...

    He's worth $270m. He's going to write a check and skate.

    No.

    Because his victims will have obtained reparation.

    As long as he can pay them, I'm happy.

    Don't forget about the eventual perjury charges..... and his texts going to the 1/6 committee (then perhaps to the DOJ).... and the immutable fact that he's still a scumbag regardless of however much he manages to hide from payment....

    Hell is going to be a crowded place someday....

    There are still many other lawsuits.

    This one will create a precedent.

    I would be surprised if he have much time to skate in the next few months.

    Which Buy-Bull are you referring to? Imaginary Sky Daddy isn't real. All those stories were made up by several bigoted men over several centuries and other bigoted men voted on which garbage to keep and which garbage to not keep to keep fleecing the flocks.

    That should sound surprisingly familiar.

    If the Bible or a creator doesn’t exist.. then what makes murder wrong? What makes rape wrong? What makes infidelity wrong? What makes pedophilia wrong? What gives you emotions? What makes you happy or sad? What makes you cry? Did humans just spring from the ground like popcorn? Is that it?

    Well... good. He's a ****** nozzle. I feel the award is excessive, and he has a good chance to beat it on appeal, but I don't feel sorry for him if he doesn't.

    it is a stupid verdict. to claim that mere words should result in such a huge verdict is silly. Is Alex Jones a lying POS? Yep. but the real damage to these plaintiffs came from Adam Lanza

    you seem to think he was responsible for the deaths of the children-rather than merely lying about the deaths. What sort of damages did Randy Weaver get when his wife was shot in the head by an FBI sniper?

    Stop making excuses for a man who exploits dead children and their families for profit.

    what exactly did he do to cause them harm? he told them that their kid wasn't dead when they knew that was a lie?
