Alex Jones cries after agreeing to liquidate assets to pay Sandy Hook families | CNN
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones reacts to liquidating his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims to whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre. CNN’s Oliver Darcy reports.
He'll never cry like a Sandy Hook parent. Never know loss like a Sandy Hook parent. There's literally nothing that could make me feel sympathy for him.
Justice from the law usually, but not always, has one person thinking that their sentance was a miscarriage of justice.
So good. Cry Alex. Cry a fucking lot.
He’ll never cry like a Sandy Hook parent.
His cry looks like a Rittenhouse cry to me.
Believing he was really crying ain't much better than believing any other shit he spews. It was fake tears to grift his fans.
People are choosing to believe it, because it's what they want to believe.
Which is true for the people who believe any of his lies...
Be better than Alex Jones's fans.
Quick edit:
And it shouldn't need a reminder, but it's been years since WB bought CNN and they've openly been saying they want it to be more like faux news
These articles are the manifestation of that
Who cares if it's real? This'll get clicks and give the poors something stupid to be mad about
Please, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop consuming "news" from CNN. It's a frog boil to make Dems more like Republicans, and it's fucking working
Oh I saw CNN air this. They had absolutely no pity for the tears and the anchors basically said "sucks to suck, doesn't exactly inspire sympathy"
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments? I didn’t actually read it but just curious.
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments?
Weird way to phrase that...
But just the type of "news" this is. Repeating something everyone knows is bullshit, but it's what people want to hear so they'll mindless spread it on social media
If you're not aware, CNN is more on the "entertainment" side of "entertainment news" these days.
I don't know how, but a lot of people seem to have already forgotten.
That article is from two years ago when the sale happened, and CNN fired everyone that objected to the changes.
Crying is a moment of human vulnerability. Are we really going to kick this man while he is down? We've already won, his assets are getting liquidated, there's no shame in acknowledging that he is experiencing the loss... I'm just fucking with you, this horrible troll of a man could cry a river every day, and he'll still never experience the pain any of his victims have experienced. I hope he never gets over it.
Honestly surprised he didn't capture his tears into little vials and sell them.
he'd have to give the money from that to the sandy hook families.
He will be paying this for the rest of his life
He'll do that, but he'll just take water from Flint's pipes.
"Tegridy Tears"
Boy, that first part of your comment had me activated.
I was ready to throw some hands (virtually)
I was so close to creating an user in an instance where I can downvote, but you saved it :-D
I think Alex Jones is a crisis actor. His company and assets were never real anyway.
I think his tears are making the frogs gay.
Ironically his “making the frogs gay” bit is more rooted in fact than many of his other stuff. In many other cases (such as Sandy Hook) he’s ranting freely, based on nothing. The frogs thing is at least based on a study that concluded male frogs were affected by chemicals that can make them able to reproduce with other male frogs. So it’s loosely based on a creative interpretation of something real.
Amazing how quickly these rabid bullies fold when they actually face consequences.
Crybully. It's likely fake. Gotta rev up the persecution complex to get attention for the renamed podcast that opens immediately after.
If he's even really crying and not just putting on a show, which he almost certainly is. He's a sociopath, bitter and resentful, and remorse is s foreign concept to him. Hopefully nobody gives him a job once he's been bled dry. I want to see him living in a cardboard box under a bridge, then see somebody come along, kick him in the sack, and steal his box.
Pretty much, they aren't stupid, they're just so well protected that they know nothing matters.
I've got nothing to add other than, Alex Jones is a big piece of shit
Alex Jones is a big piece of shit
I, for one, value your contribution to the discourse 🙏
I think he's probably just acting
Crisis acting, if you will.
We can go smaller.
If this blubbering sack of shit cried every waking moment for the rest of his wothless life he wouldn't shed as many tears as the parents, families, and friends of the children who were murdered at Sandy Hook did.
He's 100% a crisis actor.
He is such an asshole, feeling sorry for himself for having to pay because he ruined other peoples lives.
He might have fake-cried on air, but I'm hoping he real-cried at home and at the lawyers once he realized the Sandy Hook families weren't going to go for his 'deal' that let him off the hook for a measly few million and the judge wasn't going to let him get rid of the debt in bankruptcy. I hope he ends up on the streets.
I agree, but whether it was fake or not, I'm certain that he feels sorry for himself, and finds it unfair that is actions should have consequences. His behavior is so psychopathic, that I would be very surprised if he isn't one.
Yay!
Damn, all he had to do is not being a fucking cunt and not claiming a terrible tragedy didn't happen!
It's all part of his act
I would break out my violin, but my electron microscope is out for repairs.
Given the horror stories I've heard of Sandy Hook survivors getting abused by t heir parents because "YOU BETRAYED THIS FAMILY TO PARROT THOSE LIES THE LIBERAL MEDIA PAYS YOU TO TELL!11"
Yeah...
Fuck around and find out.
He could have apologized and corrected himself a month after it happened. Instead he quadrupled down. Now he's losing everything.
Wonder what will happen to the "Knowledge Fight" podcast?
They've got so much historic content to focus on and Alex Jones is definitely not going down this easy. I bet anything that if he actually stops being able to do info wars (big doubt, he'll probably just make a new company and broadcast from his basement if he isn't somehow stopped), he'll end up with a RT show like Carlson
Jones is already pivoting to have all his income come through his Dad's company. Info wars probably closes. Either his Dad or Tucker pick him up for a new show that pays him minimum wage but covers his living expenses because he thinks that will screw over the Sandy Hook families.
Overall i think we go maybe a month without Jones. We never hear from Owen, Chase, or Harrison again.
Look I just want the painting show Jones promised when he tried to start up a podcast. I need Jones in the Bob Ross role telling me how to paint the future God shared with me over chicken fried steak.
They will have plenty to cover for as long as they want i think.
He's been fake crying a lot. Again, last weekend he was fake crying about "being shutdown" and about how "amazing the crew is" and how he loves the crew so much that he views the crew as himself. "I literally think of you all as me" was what he was repeating. His fake tears are the most stereotypical fake tears that you can imagine. Think of what you think of as the worst possible fake tears, and that's what he was doing.
People in the news give Alex way too much credit, he's as terrible as he's always been and he ALWAYS has ulterior motives. The more people pretend that he's genuine in any way, the bigger the platform he has to spew his trash.
"I literally think of you all as me"? Gads, of all the egotistical absurdities I have heard in my life. He probably thought he was saying something nice.
Good. Cry harder you piece of shit. I want real tears you piece of shit
The american right wing are middle schoolers. Remember when you were 16 and knew better than everyone? This is the stage they stopped developing at.
Bully or victim. These are the only 2 modes they can inhabit and they rapidly cycle between the two. Youll see this in spades with donald. Every time you see him speak ask yourself is he being a bully or victim right now. Had they they not perturbed their own natural process of evolution they would have progressed into adulthood and understood there is a middle ground between bully and victim/dog eat dog/winners and losers. Our only chance is to drag these children kicking and screaming into the future. I know you think you know better but sorry, you have to eat your fucking broccoli and cant stay up til 3am on a school night.
"Agreeing to"
When you're rich, the law is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual law.
He will pay a fraction of what is owed and then claim that it's paid in full. He's a giant piece of shit who brought this on himself.
Cry harder.
Good for the families.
Either the tears are real or they are fake.
If real, it shows that the 'tough guy' is a sniveling baby who can't handle a problem like bankruptcy, something millions of people have gone through.
If fake, it's even worse, because it shows that in his twisted mind, he's more deserving of sympathy then the people he vilified.
Either way, he's scum.
Nah, that man faked cried on his show so regularly, I don't believe he is capable to really cry, at least on air.
And the 'if real" statement (absolutely not real) is wrong - he wouldn't cry because of the existential dread that naturally comes with processes like that, he would cry because of his persecution complex "uhuhu they're so unfair to me" which arguably is worse.
Not because he is a whiny baby, but because all his rage and anger are so impotent.
Open question..
Why did these types focus on sandy hook when there are so many school shootings. What made it different?
TW: I am going discuss some of the specifics of Sandy Hook.
Just conjecture on my part but it probably was because Sandy Hook was a little unique in that there were twenty victims between the ages of 6 and 7 and the shooter was 20 years old. Many American school shootings involve a teenage or young adult perpetrator targeting victims that are of similar or slightly younger age. I suspect that makes it easier for some sociopaths to dismiss these incidents as potentially retribution for bullying or interpersonal drama.
This incident was unique in that it was just a grown man murdering little children. There is absolutely no way to blame the victims in any way, shape, or form. There is nothing a 6 year-old could possibly have done to cause this. Not only that but it holds the ignominious distinction as the deadlist shooting at an elementary school.
So I suspect they targeted this incident in particular because they feared it was going to serve as a powerful catalyst that would sway public opinion in the debate on gun control. By trying to convince people that it was not real they hoped to decrease the impact it might have had.
Thank you
I was following conspiracy theory communities prior to Sandy Hook and Alex Jones stood out because he had a track record well before that event of declaring any big tragedy that hit the news as a false flag event. His audience clearly loved that tactic because just about every day he had a new false flag current event with crisis actors. Sandy Hook wasn’t really given a unique treatment by Jones, as soon as I saw the headline that day, my first thought was that Jones was soon going to declare it to be yet another false flag event, because he always said shootings were faked by the government to take people’s guns away. The difference is in the public response to this one. The public couldn’t ignore the harassment of all these grieving parents the way it ignored the rest of his rants. We are a lot more sensitive to harms towards children than we are towards adults so this story got a lot more traction.
Boofuckinghoo
I have no sympathy for this man, he deserves to pay the price for saying spouting so many lies and misinformation about Sandy Hook. They aren't likely real tears because he's just a husk of a person. It's a shame it took this long for it to happen.
